So the VGA cooler we'll be testing the Accelero Xtreme 2900 mounted onto a Radeon 2900 XT. A lot of people bought this card when it was released and just like me had to deal with the tremendous noise levels and heat. Anyway, let's have a look at the product, the installation and then the stress-test & sound check afterwards.

Here we see the cooling unit a bit better, it weighs roughly half a kilogram. The three 80mm fans rotate up-to 2000 RPM depending on voltage regulation.

  • 3 x 80mm PWM Fans
  • 5 Heatpipes Penetrate 107 Fins
  • Optimized Air Flow
  • Patented Fan Holder Eliminates the Humming Noise
  • Low Noise Impellor
  • Integrated Memory Cooling
  • Voltage Regulators Cooling
  • Pre-applied MX-2

At default they'll be very quiet, more on that in our tests though.
