In our noise level tests we switched off all other fans in our system, ensuring we just took into account the noise generated by the cooler fans themselves. These tests were run with the GPU at full load in Furmark.
We measured the noise level with a Digital Noise Level meter at a distance of 1 m from the front of the system.
Again, impressive scores from the Accelero Xtreme IV. Even with the fans running at full tilt, it doesn't generate a great deal of noise.
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.
