To test the performance of the Arctic Accelero Xtreme IV we built a powerful X79 based system in a Corsair Obsidian 780T case, featuring a reference AMD Radeon R9 290X graphics card. We will also compared the thermal results with a NZXT Kraken G10 (with Kraken X40) graphics card cooler and Arctic Accelero Hybrid II graphics card cooler on the same GPU.
Test System
- Processor: Intel Core i7-3930K
- Motherboard: Asus P9X79
- Memory: 16 GB (4 x 4 GB) Mushkin Blackline 1600 MHz
- Thermal Paste: Noctua NT-H1
- Graphics Card: AMD Radeon R9 290X
- Power Supply: Seasonic Platinum P1000W
Software
- FurMark 1.14.1
- CPUID Hardware Monitor
is it possible yo mount only the cooler without the rear vrm and ram heatsink?
The Arctic Accelero III has the same config as this, minus the rear VRM and RAM heatsink. Go check it out, its what I am ordering!
Does this come with PWM fan control, so GPU itself can control the fans ?
I know gelid icy doesnt come with one…
You didn’t mention ANYTHING about what temperatures the VRM1 and 2 get to. This is really important, especially for R9 290 where we had many situations with vrms overheating and causing black screens etc.
hello i want to know which is better between the Msi Twin Frozr III and the AAX 4?
I think this wont fit in motherboards that have PCI-E slot right below the cpu socket (in 1st row) in combination with tower style cooler (for example between my 212 evo and my 290x I can barelly stick a finger between on msi h110m pro-d)
For the hardcore “MUST SLi BEAST POWER GPU” types out there, this exists.
Mod to your hearts content, and if it lights on fire.. well you’ll have the rear plate to grill on.
