Arctic Accelero Hybrid 7970 Liquid Cooling System review

by Hilbert Hagedoorn on: 09/26/2012 11:33 AM | source: | 17 comment(s)

We test and review the Accelero Hybrid 7970 Liquid Cooling System from Arctic. The cooling solution for the Radeon HD 7970 offers both liquid-cooling for the GPU as well as silent active cooling for the VRM zone of the graphics card. If we can believe the numbers then the solution should offer great cooling performance versus excellent noise levels. That's right up our alley alright.

Considering how this is backwards compatible with the 6900 series, you guys think it will be compatible with the 8900 series when it comes out?

Yea. But I wouldn't bet any money on that considering many respins of the past have required different board components like caps to enable the higher clock speeds. And that could easily change the fit requirements.

I ditched the glue after following the directions exactly and having every single heatsink fall off.... I'm using 3M thermal adhesive tape now.

Seeing a lot of these comments, i been using their glues aswell and on my current 680 the removable glue and it has yet to fall off.

So you must be doing something wrong. Bad cleaning or mixing.

I cleaned my components with 97% alcohol.

I clean with an eraser (as instructed), clean with 70% alcohol, eraser again, alcohol again....mix the 2 packets together for 5 minutes (as instructed) and apply as instructed. Allow to cure for 24hrs then installed graphics card. Soon as the card warmed up, heatsinks started falling off....
