watch your Vregs under heavy loads with that AC plus. For gaming and folding it was ok, but it allows for over 90* temps under the cheap plate in things like furmark

Doesn't sound too great. But I really could use some better cooling

I have decided to get the Accelero, I am not going to "play" the furmark without the limiter all day long so it should do just fine

Besides, EVGA warranty covers cooler changes unless I start hitting it with screw driver where you aren't supposed to

Yeah I really like the glow of the GTX580 letters! Hopefully the cooler performs well too. The rig looks amazing GC!

EDIT: on wait, it's not glowing! lol!

Accelero meets the GTX 580

Look at that dried paste junk in the middle of the GPU IHS, no wonder temps were so high...

Try 120hz and it won't idle at 32c.

Besides, who cares about idle temps?

10/10 on your upgrade, that is the sort of cooler that should be put on a 580.
