The Swiss are at it again! This time, they have secretly taken over the
whole Video Card Cooler market. I guess the Swiss aren't so neutral after
all!
While most cooling manufacturers have one or two products in their line-up to
support video cards, Arctic Cooling has brought the responsibility upon
themselves for building custom solutions for every video card on their market.
There solutions are not just a generic cop out with a universal bracket.
Each solution is customized for the video card series that it serves, and
typically installs in minutes without hassle.
Their successful, and often imitated, "Silencer" series has been followed by
their new Accelero series. Thanks to their work with OEM partners on
designing cooling solutions, their design work has ended up on a lot of the most
high end video cards right out of the box. In fact, their latest Accelero
product was good enough for PowerColor to use them on their new top of the line
X1950 PRO card right at launch.
Today, we get to look at the Accelero X1; a VGA cooling solution that works
with the NVIDIA 6800, 7800, and 7900 series video cards. Let's see how it
does against a stock 7800GTX cooler.
