Cons: Make sure you get the 8 additional screws( avail from arctic cooling site) to mount the gpu brackets before you even think about installing it. Heats up case so have good exhaust fans.
Pros: 37C idle -50C gaming. Quiet and cool at 100 percent fan speed. Comment:
Not for the beginner to install. Takes up a lot of case space as longer than card. Performance is great and very quiet. Had fans not turn on a few times but was cable to board and after reseating it has run better than expected.

Cons: VRM cooling is weak, LARGE
Pros: Quiet, fairly easy installation, good instructions. Comment:
Well, was moving away from watercooling on my X2, and focusing mainly on watercooling my CPU only. And this even though really only choice other than watercooling, is a pretty decent unit. Only things I didn't like would have been the VRM's still can run pretty hot, so you'll want pretty good airflow in your case. And when you mount the stock backplate on again, there is one area that doesn't get a screw to help hold the backplate against the ram on the back of the card. Simple fix though, I just put a seperate screw and nut through to hold it down. MUCH quieter than stock cooling, and with 800mhz core, 950mem, core tops out at 54C, mem hits 63, shader hits 60C, and VRM hits 100C(hottest) which is acceptable. |
This thing works like a charm. It dropped my temp on my hd4870x2 at full load over 50 degrees. It works absolutely amazing and I am extremely pleased with my purchase!
