Noiseless Cooling 4 Heat Pipes Special Heat Spreader for Voltage Regulator Cooling Memory Cooling High Reliability Low Weight 6 Years Manufacture Warranty
The cold air is drawn from outside to cool the fins directly:
Accelero S1 features 4 thick copper heatpipes which connect directly from the GPU core. The heatpipes with sintered powder wicks provide ultimate heat conductivity. Heat from the GPU is rapidly dissipated through 32 fins that extend beyond the height of the graphic card. Optimized fin design allows better air flow thus removing the heat more effectively. Together with the bundled RAM heat sinks and voltage regulator heat spreader, Accelero S1 provides an all-round passive solution that achieves the best cooling performance. Application:
Heat Sink: 140(L) x 215(W) x 32(H) mm Heat pipe: 6 mm x 4 Weight: 290 g Accessories: 2 Voltage Regulator Heat Spreaders, 8 Memory Heat Sinks

Rating: - Not entirely compatible with ATI HD 4850
This product performs much better than the stock solution that came with my ATI HD 4850, however there are some compatibility issues with this particular combination:
The included voltage regulator module (VRM) heatsinks are **incompatible** with the ATI HD 4850 so I recommend you to get the Arctic Cooling Turbo Module (search keywords: Arctic Cooling VGATurbo) or attach a 120mm fan with zip ties to avoid overheating. Moreover, there's no enough clearance between one of the heatpipes ... Read More
Rating: - It worked for me
Well I had have not enough space inside my computer to place this awesome device , so I decided to deform it with a hammer (oh yes you read it right)I had to be extremely gentle with the bending actions, leaving the circumference of the heatpipes intact (not colapsed) and I fully angled the upper third of the device 90 degrees, so I can place the cover of my PC case.
I was aware that I was running the risk of frying my nVidia 7900 GT video card but thanks god the Accero S1 actually works, keeping ... Read More
Rating: - Accelero S1 - Effective Silent Cooling
The Accelero S2 is an effective VGA cooler for high-end VGA cards provided that you have enough space to install it and that there is adequate airflow through the case to cool it.
The memory chip heatsinks have a weak adhesive tape that tends to fall off. Also, the included bolt-on VREG heatsink touches a part on the card where it shouldn't. I had to grind the edge down about 1mm with a Dremel tool to make it fit. Otherwise the installation is reasonably easy and the cooler works fairly well, ... Read More
