If you put the cards in the blue slots, Acceleros with 25mm fans will work. You could, however, place a 92mm fan behind the cards. That's a cheap and effective configuration.Snorkelfarsan wrote:
The turbo module is only around $13 bucks here in sweden, so not that expensive - perhaps compared to performance.
I have a ABIT IX38 QuadGT, and it has 2 PCIEx16 and supports crossfire. But it could be a tight squeeze fitting two hd4850 both with Accelero s1 cooling in to my Antec 300.
Pretty equal. Way better price/performance. It doesn't use as much space, either.aimless wrote:
How is the S1 compared to the HR-03?
How do you fasten a fan behind the cards? Do you mean to right of the cards if you open the chassi?Freezer7Pro wrote:

And you can get your hands on some GlacialTech fans for 40kr, if you're lucky.

Anyways, I finally installed the Accelero S1 on to my PowerColor HD 4850, but not without a lot of struggle. It took a couple of hours to fix the whole thing...
First of all, the RAM heat sinks that come with the Accelero s1 are crap, they fall off really easily. And since you have to stick them on first, they tend to fall of even by the slightest touch when you're attaching the accelero to the card. If I get another one for another card, I'll definitely buy myself some good RAM heat sinks, like the blue Zalman ones.
Since the Accelero S1 is not made for the 4850, you have to "fix" alot of things yourself. Like bending one of the small heat sinks because it was in the way of a copper heat pipe leading away from the heat spreader. I also had to hacksaw of the copper-pegged heat sink that comes with the stock cooler and sits on the voltage regulators, since the one that comes with Accelero doesn't fit at all.
And finally when I put the whole thing on to my motherboard, I realized that my chassis side fan (Nexus Real Silent 120mm), wouldn't fit anymore because of the size of the Accelero. Luckily, i managed to solve that by taking away one of the plastic "bars" that are on either side of the heat spreader. And now it looks like this:
