ARCTIC Accelero Xtreme IV VGA Cooler For Hawaii and GK110

[TOMPPIX]

The ARCTIC Accelero Xtreme IV would be the latest addition in ARCTIC’s VGA Cooling lineup which is similar to the Xtreme III but offers compatibility with several new graphics cards and features an additional baseplate. The rest of the specifications are kept same which include a 84-fin heatsink with 5 copper heatpipes which comes pre-applied with MX-4 thermal compound and is cooled down by three 92mm PWM controlled fans which allow upto 300W of cooling performance. The heatsink measures 288 (L) x 103 (W) x 50 (H) mm requiring at least three free expansion slots for installation.

 

 

5 premium quality copper heatpipes and the award-winning MX-4 thermal compound (pre-applied) conduct heat from the GPU efficiently to the 84-fin aluminum heatsink, meanwhile, the three 92mm PWM fans create massive airflow to bring unparallelled cooling performance, even when higher performance is required under overclocked conditions. ARCTIC The ARCTIC Accelero Xtreme IV’s PCB and memory reinforcement plate helps reduce heat and offers additional cooling to the electrical components on the beefy Hawaii and GK110 based graphics cards. Users who have been waiting for custom coolers for their Hawaii graphics cards (Radeon R9 290X and Radeon R9 290) should check out the new heatsink once its available in the market to enhance their GPU cooling to reduce frame variance which was is an issue with the reference designs. Following is the GPU compatibility list of the ARCTIC Accelero Xtreme IV cooler

 

R9 290 (X), R9 280 (X), 270 (X), HD 7870, 7850, 6970, 6950, 6870, 6850, 6790, 5870, 5850, 5830, 4890, 4870, 4850, 4830, 3870, 3850

How well does this perform compared to the more traditional aftermarket coolers?

[CornOnJacob]

This vs NZXT G10 + other AiOs = a great comparison video. Any plans @LinusTech?

[Ethnod]

I am really interested to see how the after market coolers do with the 290 and 290X cause atm there is no way I can whole heartedly recommend that GPU to anyone tbh

This will probably be better than the G10 as it cools the VRAM better. The G10 is crap for a high end GPU as it doesn't do anything for the other components on the card. I hope they bring out a G20 or something that has a heatsinks extending from the rest of the PCB and a better fan so the VRAM is cooled better. There was a review I read where they used a heat sensor camera to see the temps of the back of the card. With the G10 the back got upto a possibility of 100C on the back of the PCB.

they won't,the g10 wasn't even their idea in the first place,so I doubt they've even thought about improving it.

and the basic idea came from DWood (user on OC forum),he was selling brackets for I think 2-3 years before the G10 came out.

 

Really glad that the Accelero cooler is getting a unisink,wonder if it'll extend to the lower end Arctic heatsinks as well.

Add another 3 fans and some liquid nitrogen and it should be able to keep the temps down on the R9 290X   Kidding, I used the Xtreme III on a 6950 for years and it was great. Much more efficient than the original aftermarket cooler and MUCH quieter.

[Ashaira]

Does anyone know why i should buy this instead of the extreme 3? Does it cool the vram better? is it cheaper? extreme 3 had a capacity of 450 w cooling. this is only 300. Why should i get this?

Well they should update the G10 as it is a problem that needs to be solved.

I have the Xtreme III on my R9 290 (see my galleries) and it keeps the GPU at 81°C in Furmark with the lowest fan speeds.

If you've got the fans on 7volt mode I'd be careful and check your VRM temps, Tom's had issues with the VRM running in excess of 100c, and during a Furmark run yours would've got alot hotter.

the unisink is one good reason.The larger surface area due to the single unisink theoretically provides better cooling that multiple very small heatsinks.

[BernardoSLR]

Does it cool the VRM decently? If yes, this is brilliant!

In Furmark my VRMs go up to 127°C, while in Battlefield 3 and Bioshock Infinite they never exceed 71°C. So I kind of accept the Furmark temps without being happy about them ...

aftermarked coolers are almost always better, I am running a gelid icyvision and it runs about 5-10 degrees cooler

they are complicated to install though

[Saan Koneri]

Anyone know is Accelero Xtreme IV compatible with 780ti

I would imagine it performs like the Gigabyte Windforce cooler. Eg. it's the best cooler you can get on a GPU. Unless you go water.

It performs somewhat better than the gigabyte. More heatsink, bigger fans. Just overall larger.

[BionicBert]

I have this cooler and im not happy to fit it as it has no direct cooling for the RAM and VRM , instead it has a large rear heatsink with thermal pads that supposedly cool the RAM and VRM through the PCB .

Its a real problem as being on the other side of the pond , i can't find anybody that has Ram/VRM heatsinks in stock  .
