as the title says. I've had my x1800xt for a week now...and would like a bit better cooling on it.

I've narrowed the choices down to the ARCTIC COOLING Accelero X2

or the MASSCOOL/SYTRIN KuFormula VF1-PLUS


I'm kind of leaning toward the Masscool VF1-Plus unit...but haven't seen any real good reviews of it on a hot card like the x1800xt.

which one cools better? I see the Accelero only has about 10cfm airflow...IMO that kinda sucks and would it cool better if that was increased? Surely it wouldn't produce THAT much more noise if it made say, 20cfm or so would it???
 
So is the VF1 REALLY worth the extra $15 more? I googled up a review of a gpu cooler roundup and they listed the Accelero on high being about the same performance as the VF1 on medium, albeit a little quieter.

anyone have firsthand experience with both?
