Testing
To test the Artic Cooling Accelero X2 we left the GPU at idle for 30 minutes and took the temperature using ATI Tool's diagnostic. We then ran Battlefield 2142 for 30 minutes to stress the x1900 and took the temperature; again using ATI Tool's diaganostics.
Results
The GPU used to test this cooler was an Sapphire x1900XT 512mb and I used the supplied heatpaste.
| Idle | Load | |
| Temeprature | 39 | 47 |
These temperatures are hardly ground breaking but they are far and above what would be achieved at stock where the load temperature would sometimes creep into the low seventies.
Price
Price for this cooler varies quite widely from the low teens to mid twenties, though the average price was around £16 which is a fairly good price for a cooler of this performance.
Noise
The Accelero was very pleasantly quiet during the testing. This can probably be put down to the rubber backing of the fan taking away a lot of the excess noise.
