Posted on Monday, October 03 2011 @ 22:41 CEST by Thomas De Maesschalck
Arctic Cooling presents the Accelero S1 Plus, a passive graphics card cooling solution with a copper base with pre-applied G-1 thermal paste, four 6mm copper heatpipes, and 32 aluminium fins. The cooler has a MSRP of $49.95 (37.65EUR).
The Accelero S1 PLUS may be the best performing passive VGA cooler on the planet. It is a must-have cooler for all silence enthusiasts. The versatile RAM and VR cooling set and optional S1 PLUS Turbo Module further extends its compatibilities all the way to high-end VGA cards.

Absolute Silence
As a passive cooler, the Accelero S1 PLUS is noise-free while keeping the graphic card working at normal temperature! It helps to cool your graphic card without any disturbance to your work or entertainment.

Wide Compatibility
Due to its RAM and VR heatsink set and flexible mounting plate design, the Accelero S1 PLUS is compatible with over 80 different models of midrange to high-end graphic cards.

* The compatibility list is based on AMD Radeon and NVIDIA's reference board layout only. ARCTIC holds no responsibility for incompatibility on non standard cards. Please check the height restriction drawing before purchase.

Efficient Passive Cooling
Thanks to patent DE 20200600, the Accelero S1 PLUS allows more air to pass through the fins than any other passive coolers. The heat from the VGA card can be efficiently dispersed. A further enhanced cooling performance for the Accelero S1 PLUS is made possible with its optional accessory (S1 PLUS Turbo Module).

Enhanced VR Heat Dissipation
Compared to thermal tapes, the thermal glue G-1 included with this cooler significantly improves the efficiency of heat conduction from the RAM and VR to the heatsinks. It secures the heatsinks while enabling subsequent removal residue-free.
