Accelero S1 review (3850)

Jacobman · Dec 28, 2007

I have the Sapphire 512meg 3850 and bought the Accelero S1 to cool it. So far i have been very impressed with it, well worth the $24. I used the artic silver adhesive for the ramsinks because the tape that comes with it is no good and the cheapest blue led 120mm fan i could find. For some reason i dont think my stock coolers fan was coming on during gameplay so it got way hot, Iphone courtesy of Terranova.

Stock HS/F and clocks

idle ~45c
load 94c

Accelero with 720/950 clocks

idle 31c

Good Stuff!! that was definitely a significant drop there. Now you just need to OC it even MORE! You need to break 10k J pwn it!!! :beer:

Yes you can fit two 120mm fans on the s1. Also if anyone with a 3870 is considering grabing it I would use the stock ram sink over the sinks that come with the s1 cuz they can be a real pain.

great i have a couple more high speed loons laying around but it is a good reason to buy more when i get the cooler cause i have a couple builds coming up for friends and a clan member

Great pics Jacobman, they really help me to get a good idea of the size which is important to me in my already 'comfy' case.

P.S. Nice iPhone

No problem, the biggest thing i wondered about was size as well but it fits nicely in my case. Unfortunately the iphone inst mine, its terranovas.
