One more great ideas from Artic Cooling. Based on the product sheet, Accelero Xtreme 7970 claimed to be able to maintain temperature HD 7970 around 56.6 C with 2000 RPM and noise 0.5 Sone of 5.2 Sone (reference HD 7970). I can’t wait Kitguru review it.
If the Accelero Xtreme 7970 as good as it claims, then we need not worry about the custom cooler offered by vendors. We simply look for HD 7970 with highest quality components and power-phase design.
