Accelero S1, passive graphics cooling by Arctic Cooling

Arctic Cooling brings us a radically new noise free experience for serious gamers. To provide passive cooling for high-end graphic cards, Accelero S1 is a high performance passive cooler featuring 4 heatpipes connected with extra large surface area. It effectively removes a great deal of heat from the graphic cards keeping the components cool.  

Accelero S1 features 4 thick copper heatpipes which connect directly from the GPU core. The heatpipes with sintered powder wicks provide ultimate heat conductivity. Heat from the GPU is rapidly dissipated through 32 fins that extend beyond the height of the graphic card. Optimized fin design allows better air flow thus removing the heat more effectively. Together with the bundled RAM heat sinks and voltage regulator heat spreader, Accelero S1 provides an all-round passive solution that achieves the best cooling performance.

No moving parts means it is maintenance free. An extra pair of mounting clips provides extensive protection to the graphic card that prevents damage from improper handling. With the help of the new mounting design, Accelero S1 is widely compatible with ATI (Radeon X1950, X1900, X1800) and nVIDIA (GeForce 7950, 7900, 7800, 6800) graphic cards.

The Accelero S1 will be available by end of May 2007. The recommended retail price is US$ 29 or € 24 (excl VAT)
