I'm thinking of the AC Accelero S1 Rev2 as a good replacement for my stock dual-slot cooler for my card. It gets far too hot for my liking [up to 80c under ATitool and low-mid 70s for gaming], but I want to make sure that if I'm going to spend the money I'm going to get decent enough results out of it. First off, anybody else using this cooler with a 4870? Either with the Turbo module, or just an aftermarket fan is fine, I"m curious as to the performance of both solutions. Also, are the ram and VR sinks that come with it copper or aluminum, and how well do the VRM sinks in particular do? I'm about as concerned with under cooling the vrms as much as the gpu core itself, so if I need to order something extra I'd like to get it all at once.
If the S1 isn't going to cut it, I was also considering the vf1000 as the high end of what I'm hoping to spend. My same questions apply for this solution as well. Does it seem to work well enough, and do the sinks do a good enough job?
