Reddit reviews ARCTIC Accelero Twin Turbo II VGA Cooler - nVidia & AMD, Dual Quiet 92mm PWM Fans, SLI/CrossFire

Under 60c load and you decided to reapply thermal paste? I don't get it. Personally wouldn't risk sanding it down if you haven't had much experience with doing that type of thing, but if you do make sure you don't over sand one side or another, the more level it is, the better it will dissipate heat. Worst case, you'll have to buy an aftermarket cooler, or try and get in touch with customer service.

So I have a reference 7850, which I only overclock to 1050/5500 at 1.075v because it at any higher voltages the temps get a bit too high for my liking, (around 84 degrees celcius at load, sometimes reaching over 90 degrees at 1.2v).

So in order to combat this, I've been thinking about buying an Accelero Twin Turbo. Does anyone have any experience installing this on a reference 7850? Would you recommend for or against it? Would I be better off just buying a 200mm side intake fan (though i doubt it would make much difference).

I understand that installing ram heatsinks are unnecessary and it also causes the card to take up 3 pci slots, is that correct! Any info/advice would be great!

Hot damn I must be hallucinating hard. I coulda sworn this was on my other gpu.

Pretty much, the mounting holes haven't changed much. You could go with an Arctic Twin Turbo for $40, and it should cool just as well as the best preinstalled 3rd-party coolers out there. It will, however, turn it into a 3-slot card.

here is a solusion that will last longer than replacing just the fan

Not too familiar with Ryzen so I don't want to offer advice there. I can however tell you about the FE 1080. Just got mine a few days ago. It is quiet with default fan curve but runs at 82c. I set a curve that boosts up to 50% fan speed at 60c and from then it is a 1:1 ratio. so 70% at 70c and 80% at 80c. The card will thermal throttle at 82c and you can see the core clock drop. It is a tad noisier this way but I game with head phones.

If you are interested in overclocking it, let me know and I can expand more on that if so.

Other cooler options can include a Kraken G12 and a CPU AIO cooler or going for one of the Hybrid water cooling kits.

A cheaper route if you just want better temps and quieter fans is to buy something like this

Like $35-$80. The Artix Twin is a good one. https://www.amazon.com/ARCTIC-Accelero-Twin-Turbo-Cooler/dp/B005FYCFG8

Not sure if you want one with a big blackplate or not on a 580, though, or even just in general.

I know I'm late, but I had a GTX 660 Ti SC 2GB (EVGA) with the stock blower wind tunnel on it. It was incredibly loud and hot even at idle. I got the Accelero TT from Arctic (~$40), and now I get ~20F lower load temps and ~5F lower idle temps. I just leave the fans all the way up all the time because I can't even hear them!

WARNING
Do NOT get an aftermarket GPU cooler if you are uncomfortable around your GPU's shroud and around extremely ESD sensitive parts. Very nerve-wracking install, and it looks pretty bad in my case. But the temps and noise reduction are 100% worth it.

A 1060 isn't a lot faster than the 970 so I wouldn't bother with one of those.

I think he should do the third option for now. Saving most of his money for a GPU upgrade whenever a new gen comes out. An aftermarket cooler like an ARCTIC Accelero Twin Turbo II or an NZXT G12 bracket and corsair H55. He should even be able to reuse them on future GPU generations.

He may also want to grab an I7 too, but I think trying to boost his performance without spending a lot of money should be his goal right now.

apparently there's aftermarket fans you can get, this kind of thing:

This would be your best bet for the money.

You can try removing and cleaning the fan better, but if that doesn't help, I found a couple options that might interest you:

Is that it?
How does it help with temps?

Do you recommend this or the single fan version? For some reason the 2-fan is almost the same price as it

Very good point. I didn't notice that. I think I'll order the case and try and make it work and worst case resort to air cooling the GPU with an aftermarket gpu cooler like this

So with coolers like this how do I tell if it's compatible with my GPU? Are there different sized 1070 boards or is just the cooler that is different? Could I also get a shroud from another 1070 and put it on my GPU?

>accelero twin

Wait, so, my graphics card is a big black plastic rectangular prism, but I could break it open and remove a lot of that stuff and manually add something like that onto the actual GPU inside, kind of like how I added a cooler onto the CPU?

Other then water cooling, my case is already is good as it gets, other then quieter fans, which I plan on going all out in that regard come next case.

I don't remember which CPU cooler I'm running, Coolermaster hyper series I know that, and that it has 2 fans, but the exact hyper I don't remember. Bought it from a local shop so don't have the records on hand. Not running overclock on the CPU bbbbbuutt, might as well do that too.

As far as the GPU fan, I've narrowed it down to dis one or diss one

Yea there are aftermarket cooling solutions like the arctic accelero or you can get a Kraken G12 + 120mm liquid cooler.

You will definitely get less noise with an AIB design over a blower. Blowers can be pretty bad, but based on the reviews the one on rx480 isn't bad. Also GPUs have variable fans, they only spin up when they need to. So if you're not playing a demanding game chances are it will be inaudible completely.

So when you are sleeping you won't hear it because it will run at really low RPMs. The concern might be if you have a significant other who's trying to sleep while you game. In that case it may be an issue. But then again that depends.

I prefer AIB designs.. but you might have to wait a few weeks on those.

As far as 4gb / 8gb issue is concerned, I think 4gb is fine for multiple reasons:

• most folks out there will own cards with less than 4gb of VRAM. The best sold GPU from last gen was a 970 which only had 3.5Gb of VRAM, and majority of the market own budget 2gb VRAM cards. So the developers still have to optimize for that memory utilization target for the foreseeable future.
  
  
• If you do run into a game which requires more than 4Gb for a certain ultra quality option it's not the end of the world, you turn that setting down, the game might look slightly worse but chances are enabling that feature would have dropped your frames below 60 fps, in which case you'd want to have that feature disabled anyways.. so how often will you really get to use that feature and the full 8gb of VRAM is the question.. and having more FPS is always nice.
  
  There are specific cases where 8gb of VRAM is needed like if you're moding Skyrim with 3rd party texture packs those might need more VRAM.. but if you want to play it safe and not have to worry about it, get an 8gb version, I don't think the option is overpriced. It's up to you, I don't think you can go wrong either way.
  
  If you can wait, wait for an AIB design, it will give you slightly more future proofing since you'll be able to overclock it.. but if you can't wait get an reference.. you can also later decide to buy an aftermarket heatsink/cooler and mod your GPU to make it perform just like an AIB card in terms of fan situation. https://www.amazon.com/ARCTIC-Accelero-Twin-Turbo-Cooler/dp/B005FYCFG8/ref=sr_1_4?ie=UTF8&qid=1467257106&sr=8-4&keywords=arctic+gpu+cooler

An aftermarket GPU cooler or zip-tie your own fans

What video card is it?

It might be in your interest to instead by an air cooler if cost is of concern.

This link would be a good start. You could sell the EK block to further reduce your cost.

I had one of these on mine http://www.amazon.co.uk/Cooling-Accelero-TwinTurbo-Graphics-Cooler/dp/B005FYCFG8

Pricey but amazing. Worth weighing up the difference between that and buying a new card.
