Artic Accelero Hybrid

Im buying this cooler on my gigabyte r9 280x.My concerns is the cooling fins on the vram.Somekind glue is used to put them on or something.Someone says you can remove them later,and someone says you can't.Anyone here with personal experience?

nzxt make a hybrid cooler which is much better for cooling the vrm which needs to be cooled.

Why not use the new NZXT G10 with an H60 or so?

I wouldn't recommend getting the all-in-one watercooler. If you get something like DCUII, Windoforce 3, or Vapor X cooler then you wouldn't need it.

I kinda already ordered it,and it is on it's way.And the windforce is shitty and too loud.As for the G10 goes,isn't it in serious back order?

It doesn't work with the H60. You need something like the H55 or Kraken series.

Those CLC units will have much lower GPU core temps then any air cooler could hope for. That's actually the best use for them, they're marginal improvements over air on a CPU, they're tremendous improvements for GPU's.

Have you tested this? If not, do you have any numbers to prove this? Linus tested with a X40 on a R9 290 and only got about 5 FPS. Also the temperature achieved by the air coolers are already good enough. They wouldn't damage your card until they hit about 90C.

You are all contributing so much to this,it's absurd

To the OP:

 

Are you sure a glue is used? Not a thermal pad or thermal paste. It might just be cheap hardened thermal paste. At any rate, isopropyl should wash it off.

Here is something to think about.Fan is installed.Furmark burn in test after 6min,Original shitty fan temps 85'c.Now 51'c.And it is really quiet.And cheap

the kit comes with thermal adhesive, artic alumina or something, if you want to be able remove it mix in 1 part of the non-adhesive version of the TIM to 2 parts adhesive
