Arctic Accelero S3 Passive VGA Cooler [DCACO-V830001-GBA01]

Specifically, this means that all Garfikkartenmodelle are complete with a heat output of 135 watts TDP below a fanless use cooled. Silent enthusiasts will love the Accelero S3 reason. As a passive radiator, it works completely silent and keeps the graphics card still at low temperature. If the models listed in the compatibility list are cooled by alternative Arctic cooler with more than 135 watts, the use of an additional fan is needed, the Arctic Turbo module is purchased separately. Thus, the Accelero S3 up to 200 watts TDP is then available.

The high cooling potential reaches the passive cooler thanks to the large heatsink with 32 aluminum fins having a thickness of 0.4 mm and are arranged at a considerable distance from each other. This allows the airflow of the fan housing penetrate the lamellar block of S3. Four heat pipes with a diameter of 6 mm, the heat transport from the universal base plate to the radiator. On the back of an additional PCBs, use the black backplate with many surveys will be installed, which ensures there that the entire PCB of the graphics card is better cooled, which has a positive effect on the temperatures of voltage regulation and VRAM.

So far, the laborious installation of different cooling elements was necessary using a thermally conductive adhesive. This is no longer necessary thanks to the innovative back-side plate. Without adhesive may be the graphics card problem and residue returned to its original state. For the card with this rather severe cooling structure does not suffer and remain safely and securely and without bending in the PCIe slot, includes a retention mechanism, which is to be screwed once with the PCI slot covers the housing and connected to the other with the Accelero S3 will.

Note: Please check before buying whether the cooler fits into your case!
