Arctic 'Silently' Introduces Accelero L2 Plus VGA Cooler
Arctic introduced the latest member of the iconic Accelero VGA cooler series, the Accelero L2 Plus. The L2 Plus is designed to be a GPU fan-heatsink with a number of individual heatsinks included in the package to cool the VRM and memory. It is targeted at mid-thru-performance segment graphics cards with square GPU bolt layouts. The main fan-heatsink measures 119 (L) x 94 (W) x 51 (H) mm, weighing 250 g. It is a monolithic aluminum heatsink, that uses a 92 mm fan to ventilate it. The base doesn't cover the entire bottom area of the heatsink, and so the fins guide the air down to the PCB, to cool other components.
The main heatsink has the capacity to handle thermal loads of up to 120W. The 92 mm fan spins at speeds between 900 and 2,000 RPM, and is PWM-controlled. It can push up to 27 CFM of air, with noise-level of 0.4 Sone. Apart from the required screws and bolts, there are eight heatsinks each for memory and VRM chips (standard sized MOSFETs). The small heatsinks don't come with thermal tapes, but instead a sachet of Arctic G1 Adhesive TIM is bundled, apart from non-adhesive MX-4 for the main heatsink. GPU compatibility is listed below. The Arctic Accelero L2 Plus is priced at $22.67 in the US, and €17.09 in Europe.

Edit: So the only difference between this and the ARCTIC COOLING Accelero L2 Pro Fluid Dynamic VGA C... is the TIM?
Edit: Also seems to support more sockets.
My cable management was crappy back then, :laugh:
That voltage reducer is nice, but the molex connector stinks for tidy cables. If that was at least a standard 3-pin chassis fan head, most good mobo's today will have a couple of those un-used and somtime easier to reach than a Molex from the PSU. Heck I used a modular and didn't have 4-pin harness the card read was SATA power.
What I found interesting is that the fans on the Accelero were much larger, moved more air, and required less amperage to do so compared to the stock fans on my 4770s... :confused:
Put the washers on the screws and tighten it, presto!
As for thermal adhesive ram sinks and etc, just slap it on and let it sit.
