Packaging & Accessories

The GPU cooler comes in a plastic some what air tight packaging that snugly holds the product and information technology's accessories along in ane place with printed cardboard depicting the cooler's name, specifications and the details of it'southward contents on the backside of the plastic box. The cooler itself comes pre-applied with thermal paste on the libation. In terms of compatibility, it tin fit a big number of cards from the early on ATi X1900 series and Nvidia 6600GT's to the latest AMD 6970 and Nvidia GTX 580. Just mainly this card has been advertised to work with Nvidia'southward GTX 560Ti that nosotros will be further on using for conveying out benchmarks with the cooler. As you can denote from the images in a higher place, the libation comes with small heatsinks of various sizes for both memory fries and VRM'southward every bit well every bit two expansion brackets. A TM spreader/remover stick has too been provided for easier applying/cleaning. At that place is as well a VGA fan vii/12V four-Pin adaptor to power the 2 fans on the cooler in case there isn't any place for them to connect onto on the graphics menu.

Accelero Twin Turbo II Upclose

The cooler itself is made up of 36 oestrus sink fins that are spread over 5 rut pipes coming from the libation's die. On peak are two fans that run clockwise forcing air downwards through the cooler and are held in a molded plastic encompass that spreads over the heatsink completely. Pretty much you can effigy out the cooler supports cooling upwardly to TDP'southward of 160W from the advertisement on the height cover.The rut sink base comes pre-applied with thermal paste for kickoff time installations as well equally diverse mounting holes on the mount plate can be seen that are for installation on various large number of graphics cards starting from the pre-historic ATi 1300 series to the latest AMD 6970 and in terms of Nvidia cards from the 6600 to their current main stream graphics carte du jour, the GTX 580. There is also a separate TM bundled forth known as the G-1 thermal paste for multiple applications.

Build Quality

The cooler looks delicate in terms of looks but then again, never judge a book by it's cover. The build quality seems good and sturdy in keeping everything in identify.

The Heat Pipes

The 5 heat pipes are 6mm in width that protrude through the 35 aluminium heat sink fins that measure out 0.4mm each in width, ensuring optimum heat dispersion throughout it's utilise.

Installation

The installation is dead on straight forward. Simply remove the old libation and screw in the new one as per matching screw holes on the mounting plate. In case of a too close contact with the die, four 2.3 and 4 mm spacers have been provided along with washers that can let you lot to change the pressure and manage any extra gap on the menu and not harm the PCB past making information technology 'curve' equally most afterward market coolers do.

Testing

Test Organization

Results

All the tests that were done using a ten minute burn-in  using MSI Kombuster for 5-10 mins in GPU Fire-In mode.

Information technology is a worthwhile improvement over the stock heatsink variant merely as it shows, custom heatsinks from manufacturers indeed are better. Referring to the Twin Frozr III, there isn't much any difference betwixt information technology and the Twin Turbo 2.

Conclusion

It'south rubber to say that indeed the Accelero Twin Turbo Two from Arctic Cooling does alive up to it's name but then there is the question of information technology beingness able to mount on other graphics cards. In case of this cooler, it is one of those coolers I have e'er come beyond that offers such a huge compatibility over a large number of cards. Listen you that the card we had used in our testing wasn't a reference carte and so in that location was a doubt of it snapping on without a hitch. Thankfully no such bug raised throughout our testing.

The guys at Chill Cooling do say they don't guarantee this card to fit on every non reference card. None of the less, the cooler belongs to a niche market and some would hesitate of making the buy. But that is up to the end consumer themselves. Citing the cooling efficiency, the nigh silent performance of the cooler through out information technology's total operation and price, one should not hesitate in making a motility in getting this product for their overheating cards.

Last simply not least, I would like to thank the guys back at Arctic for providing us the sample.
