Hey folks, having a little trouble finding a VGA cooler roundup that's recent.

Personally, i'm looking for a quiet solution for my 5850, that can keep it cooler than the stock fans.

I know, there are some really good coolers out there, such as the Arctic Cooling Accelero Extreme Plus II (3 x 92mm fans, whoa!). It's expensive, and it cools well, but is it really quiet?

Are there any comparibles to this cooler, or is it in a league of it's own?
 
I recommend Silentpcreview.com

They are...well...anal about keeping things quiet. That is where I get a lot of valuable information.
 
I have a few different Arctic Cooling models and they are all dead quiet.
 
erk, if i read correctly, the AC model above doesnt even fit my 5850.

I think i'd need an Accellero Twin Turbo PRO if i wanted to go Arctic Cooling.

It's either that or a Zalman VX3000a which apparently isnt so quiet at higher fan rpm.
 
thanks for the spcr tip.
i've known about them for a long time, and yes they are anal about noise :)

i ordered the accelero twin turbo pro. Should be good.

The zalman just doesnt 'sound' like it's gonna be quiet enough if pushed. Whereas the Arctic will be quiet at 100% :)

Click to expand...

I had the extreme on a 6970... it was really really really quiet. I have a 580 Galaxy that came with the same cooler on it.. it is also very quiet.
