Arctic Cooling Accelero Xtreme Plus II.

Conclusions

Performance:
Quality/price ratio:
Overall:

Even on this occasion ARCTIC COOLING proves to be at the forefront of peripherals and high-level cooling systems. This system also allows the hottest video card to work at full throttle while maintaining a reduced temperature and an excellent acoustic comfort.

In our tests, the AMD HD 5870 recorded a full load temperature of 54 degrees, or one degree more than that recorded by the stock cooler at idle mode! Another positive side is represented by the well-stocked bundle with VR and RAM heat sinks.

The only flaws of this system are the generous size and the cost not so low; € 69.78 at the ARCTIC COOLING store, even if provided with 6-year warranty. Nevertheless, the Accelero XTREME Plus II has revealed to be a great product for more demanding users and, especially in summer, want to keep their video card cool.

Pros:

  • Silent
  • Easy to install
  • Manual easy to understand
  • Dual power
  • Accessories in the kit

Cons:

  • Generous size
  • Slightly high price

We wish to thank ARCTIC COOLING for the sample supplied to us.
