The Swiss low noise cooling solution provider ARCTIC COOLING today announced the launch of the Accelero TWIN TURBO PRO. This dual-fan cooler is designed for fitting ATI and NVIDIA graphic cards, offering a truly cool and quiet solution for most enthusiasts.

This superior cooler is the upgraded version of the reputable Accelero TWIN TURBO. Instead of using 80mm fans, the Accelero TWIN TURBO PRO features two 92mm PWM fans for more advanced heat dissipation. The unconventional 4-heatpipe architecture together with 35 fins achieve up to 120 watts cooling capacity. Also with a layer of the ARCTIC MX-2 thermal compound on the base, the Accelero TWIN TURBO PRO guarantees instant and efficient cooling at all time.
Whisper quiet
Using bigger fans does not mean the noise level will increase. The new fan blades of the Accelero TWIN TURBO PRO are designed for improving the laminar airflow. This new architecture reduces noise level to minimal, achieving a nearly inaudible operation - only 0.3 sone at full speed, even quieter than the Accelero TWIN TURBO.

ATI and NVIDIA compatible
Its flexible mounting mechanism is designed with two sets of screw holes - 53mm and 43mm which are suitable for a wide range of ATI and nVIDIA graphic cards. From ATI Radeon HD 4890 to nVIDIA GeForce 6600, the Accelero TWIN TURBO PRO is the best choice for most overclockers worldwide to unleash their graphic card potential! A cooling solution trusted by industry leaders VGA card manufacturers such as Inno3D, PowerColor / Vertex3D, ELSA and Axle have opted for this 'turbo' to boost the graphic performance of their products - so why don't you get one for yourself?

The Accelero TWIN TURBO PRO won the "Top Product" award and mark 1.54 (very good) from a reputable German PC magazine PC Games Hardware. "ARCTIC COOLING's Accelero TWIN TURBO PRO offers excellent cooling performance at a very low noise level", the magazine concluded. The Accelero TWIN TURBO PRO offers a 6-year limited warranty. It will be available in December 2009. The MSRP is US$49.90 and 34.90 € (excl. VAT).

Compatibility

ATI Radeon HD 5870, 4890, 4870, 4850, 4830, 3870, 3850, 2600, 2400, X1950, X1900, X1800, X1650, X1600, X1550, X1300 series

NVIDIA GeForce GT240, GTS250, 9800GTX+, 9800GTX, 9800GT, 9600GT, 8800GTS(G92), 8800GT, 8600, 8500, 8400, 7950GT, 7900, 7800, 7600, 7300, 6800, 6600 series

pantherx12This probably costs less eh?

And still offers pretty decent cooling results.

My load temps are under 50 c on my 3850 and it idles are 32, I have the same heat sink but with the 80mm fans.

Not quite a piece of crap : ]
Cost less for them maybe as it's the same price as the 2900 cooler was. Cheap skates.
ZubasaYou read my mind dude! :roll:
This is what I am thinking right now, this thing is only good for 120W of heat.


Well it is indeed sub-par if you want to slap it on an OCed 5870. :shadedshu
That web page on AC uses the 4870 as an example, but the 5870 is closer to the 4890 in heat output and power consumption.
I'd buy one ASAP if it did 240w. Like hell yeah loved that thing on my 2900XT. I guess they don't want it too good.

In the end 120w is a joke, Shits going backwards lol. Dam shame my Accelero XTREME 2900 dont fit on my 4890 :(.

So just how much heat does a 5870 output?

Well the power usage is around 188W were as the 2900XT was 220w. BUT the people who change cooler typically overclock the cards so the power usage going go up some.

Surly it's higher than 120w. Anyways cooler the better right why else would it need that big ass heatsink\fan in the 1st place.

ZubasaIt looks like all they did is move the heatpipe to the other side of the cooler. :respect:
That's a big plus for me because I love the look of after market coolers that show off the heatpipes in the front.

Is thermal output the same as power draw though?

because if it was that would mean the card was outputting nothing but heat and converting energy to heat near with 100% efficiency.

It must be much lower then power draw.

For example average CPU rated for 65w of thermal energy, under load draws 130 watts of power.




Thoughts?

The vrm cooling is not good enough on these at all tho.

The memory and vrm sinks suck for the hotter 4800 series and 5800 series

Isn't there wasted power too like PSU's for example ?. Isn't that what a lot of the heat is ?. Sure some one could explain it more in depth :P.

Same old story with them all... Just cheap asses like the rest which is why i use the stock plate with mine.

Watt is the measurement for power not energy. A watt is equal to 1 Joule per Second.

Well, the power draw (electrical energy) does not completely covert into heat (thermal energy).
When converting energy there is always an efficiency factor.
A nuclear power plant is around 33% efficient in converting to electricity.
A light bulb convert less than 15% into light and 85% into heat.

The purpose of a CPU is not to convert electricity into heat.
So a CPU is pretty efficient if we assume the rest of the energy is actually used for work.
(Lets not mention the Netburst :nutkick:)

Yeah so I'm not going loony.

The thermal output of the 5870 should be less then 120w, unless its ONLY making heat lol

Now if only I could work out just how much heat output it has precisely then we'd no how much head room we have to play with using this budget VGA cooler.

Not with my PSU, around 88% efficient during day to day use :laugh:


Exhaust air in a 20 c room is 23-24c : ]



Bah sorry for accidental double post.

That will soon become a physics class I recon :p
The only way I remeber of how it works is that we need to know the specific heat capacity of the materials....:respect:

Wonder how this compares to BiFrost and Zerotherm Maxcool 2000.

bend it 90 degrees and make a cpu mounting bracket and theres one nice cpu cooler, pump that hot air out the top :)

My point efficiency how good is the card doing this even more so after some heavy overclocking.

I have had 2 Twin Turbo units. 1 on my 8800GTS G92 & 1 on my 4870.

but IMO these should have been brought out a lot sooner - the Twin Turbo units have been out for a while & it doesnt support more upto date powerful cards the only 1 on the list is the 4890. support is pityful for newer Nvidia cards 240's are rehashes of 8800GTs so no 'high-end' support there,
