Features
Extremely Quiet
A large fan and optimised fan blades offer a minimise noise level at a high air flow rate
Unique Cooling Performance with 6 Heat Pipes
Strong cooling performance utilising heat pipe technology
Fully Crossfire and BTX compatible
The Accelero X2 is Crossfire compatible with all mainboards and offers in such a configuration exactly the same performance. In contrast to our ATI Silencers, the Accelero is 100% BTX compatible, thus a DHES is not possible/necessary anymore. The hot air is removed by the BTX airflow.
Voltage Converter Cooling
Some air is blown out from the air guide window towards the voltage converters on the VGA board.
Patented Vibration Absorption
The motor holder consists of a rubber part at the centre to act as a vibration damper. It can help absorb the vibration of the running fan and prevent vibration transfer to the heatsink and the case.
Easy Installation
The cooler is to install within seconds.
Long Lifetime / 6 Years Warranty
The Fluid Dynamic Bearing offers a unique 400'000 h MTTF at 40°C. Therefore we grant a unique 6 years warranty.
