Arctic Announces Accelero Twin Turbo II Universal VGA Cooler with G-1 Thermal Glue
Arctic released a new version of its iconic universal graphics card cooler, the Accelero Twin Turbo II. The cooler can handle thermal loads of up to 160W, and now comes bundled with the G-1 Thermal Adhesive, letting you install the included memory and VRM heatsinks without any thermal pads/tape. Measuring 217 (L) x 122 (W) x 53 (H) mm and weighing around 900 g, the Accelero Twin Turbo II is a performance VGA cooler that uses a large heat pipe-fed aluminum fin array that's ventilated by two 92 mm fluid dynamic bearing, PWM-controlled fans that spin between 1000~2000 RPM. The cooler supports nearly all single-GPU graphics cards. It is priced at €44.54 in Europe and $63.32 in the US (excl. taxes).

None the less this is a much better design since they have gone back to the Twin Turbo original heat pipe layout.
The last Twin Turbo Pro heat pipe layout placed the heatpipes straight over a set of memory chips leaving no space to install memory cooling modules
Compatibility chart must be wrong since it lists the 6770 and not the 5770. They are supposed to be the same card, AMD even lists that you can x-fire them together.
This is a shame, there was another cooler made by Scythe a few months back I would have loved to try on a 5770.... in either case the coolers cost almost as much as the card, so it is not worth playing with.
i just hope it could perform like it looks
Large overpriced cooler is large and overpriced.
I guess there is only so much cooling that can be done with the given space.
Still now looking at the price yes this is steep and not what I expect from arctic.
To me arctic is supposed to be well priced after market cooling hardware.

this cooler cools the very high end market of vga's..Also take a look at mounting kits available.I think you can buy an nvidia kit for Twin turbo 2 that fits the 560 series..The price of the Twin turbo 2 is around the same like the old twin turbo pro.I have a twin turbo pro on my 6950
It's about a new one that was 150w cooling capacity. So there's no crap talk from us, it can't cool the highest end cards because they run hotter than that.

That lists GTX 460 and 560 compatibility.
