  • Abstract:  A slightly smaller, slightly cheaper version of the AC Accelero S1 performs a bit worse. Is there really a market for this inexpensive, admittedly brilliant performing VGA cooler when the slightly bigger S1 (Rev 2) fits the same video cards, and perfor...

  • Abstract:  The concept of passive cooling for graphics boards isnt a new one, and indeed it is a market that is gaining ever more traction - As graphics AIBs creating both ATI and NVIDIA parts fight to differentiate themselves from their competition, moving from...

  • Great performance (dependable with system ventilation), Cheap, Supports Wide range of cards, Easy installation, 6 year warranty, Fanless
  • Takes two expansion slots, Does not work with most of current cards, Not absolutely silent (still requires case fans to effectively cool the card)
  • The Arctic Cooling Accelero S2’s performance really surprised me. The dual copper heat pipe design and plenty of surface area from the 32 fins have effectively helped to cool the graphic card compare to the stock cooling. In addition to the great...

  • I would like to point out right away that we liked very much all cooling systems discussed in this article. Both Arctic Cooling solutions proved up to the mark and performed perfect according to their positioning and range of supported graphics cards. ...

  • The Arctic Cooling Accelero S2 is an impressive cooler. Although the card we chose to review it on was only an X1600 Pro, we saw temperature drops of around 10°C on the stock solution.The fact that it is totally silent means that you don't have to worry a...

  • It needs a wind breeze but it will be the most silent cooler you can find. Accelero S2 costs around €15, while the bigger one, the Accelero S1, costs around €20.Accelero S2 gives you better performance than ATI stock coolers and it will be bette...

  • Clearly the highlights of the Arctic-Cooling Accelero S2 are its ability to improve cooling performance over standard items, while reducing the operating volume to nothing! Furthermore, the Accelero S2 is incredibly easy to install when compared to oth...

  • Good cooling performance, Low noise, both with and without the turbo module,
  • Bundled tape/glue isn’t good enough, Mounting is a bit clumsy, Not a 100 % compatible with SLI/Crossfire setups
  • The cooler performs pretty well, both in passive and turbo mode. If you don’t want to overclock your graphicscard, the turbo module is unnecessary.The turbo module increases cooling performance with about 8 %, which should enable the user to squeeze...

  • Nous étions dubitatifs lorsque nous avons découvert cet Accelero S2. Malgré ses dimensions généreuses, ses qualités de fabrication et de finition nous ont laissé douter de ses performances. La base est en cuivre mais possède une finition digne du nett...
