Haven't been able to do more than mount it yet, but I can tell you, it's way bigger than it looks in the pictures.
It might be good for SLi but it's not beating the HR-03 by any means.

That's just with passive and Turbo module. Two 80mm fans =/= 120mm fan. An Accelero with a 120mm fan will easily kick the HR-03's butt.

The idea of any hi-fi system is to reproduce the source material as faithfully as possible, and to deliberately add distortion to everything you hear (due to amplifier deficiencies) because it sounds 'nice' is simply not high fidelity. If that is what you want to hear then there is no problem with that, but by adding so much additional material (by way of harmonics and intermodulation) you have a tailored sound system, not a hi-fi. - Rod Elliot, ESP

Freezer7Pro works at AC so he promotes their products whenever he can, even if they suck.

Pessimist, have you got the link to the article for that pic? The search fuction on that site sucks major arse.

Remember it adds a hell of a lot to the height too, again might hit your side fans.

I'll leave the sidepanel for what it is then, the pic makes me smile though, the tips won't touch my NB heatsink. But If I want to use the 120, I will have to mount it horizontal with only a top fan and 1 fan on the HR-GT, or 2 fans on the 120 and no fan on the HR-GT, what is wise?

Aiming for 4.0 but higher than 3.5 is fine.

Should be fine with just the one fan on the 120. I run mine at 3.2 with no fan and it never exceeds 55*.

I bought 2 of those Xilence LED fans you're getting. They're pretty good, quieter than my Tricools on medium and shift about 10CFM more, lights are brighter too I'll be getting 2 more to replace the rest as soon as they're in stock again.

Why dont you just WC the gfx cards and bung a TT120 on the cpu ?

I have a 1.8ghz stock e6300 @ 3.2ghz on a TT 120 and never get over 60 DEG Celcius, according to TAT
