Radically new noiseless passive dual heatpipes graphic card cooling solution
Without moving parts inside, Accelero S2 effectively helps the graphic card to remove heat and silently keeps the components cool. Thanks to the elegant design, Accelero S2 can even outperform other active cooling solutions, bringing a true industrial leading zero noise solution for demanding users.

• Noiseless Cooling
• Dual Heat Pipes
• Memory Cooling
• High Reliability
• Low Weight
• 6 Years Warranty

The cold air is drawn from outside to cool the fins directly:

The fins design optimize for air ventilation that enhance cooling performance:

To provide the ultimate heat conductivity and larger surface area, Accelero S2 features dual thick copper heatpipes which extend directly from GPU core. Heat from the GPU can rapidly reach through 31 dissipating fins that extend beyond the height of the graphic card. Optimized fin design allows air flow to easily pass through and removes the heat effectively. Together with the bundled RAM heat sinks, Accelero S2 provides an all-round passive solution that achieves the best cooling performance.

Practical zero noise solution
Install and forget about it – No moving parts means maintenance free. An extra pair of mounting clips provides extensive protection to the graphic card that prevents damage from improper handling. With the help of the new mounting design, Accelero S2 is widely compatible with most main stream ATI and nVIDIA graphic cards.

		08/2007 4Gamer.net: Accelero S1 / Accelero S2 + Turbo Module Incredible cooling performance. 12C cooler than ASUS's fan-less solution and 20C cooler than Radeon HD 2600 XT GDDR4's reference cooler. Turbo Module is very useful and silent.
		08/2007 Tortugahard: Accelero S2 + Turbo Module Its performance is highly superior compared with that of the cooler stock, in spite of the fact that the latter posseses a noisy fan. The Accelero S2, making it an excellent choice even if we decided to change the VGA. The addition of the Turbo Model to the Accelero S2 pairs exceptionally well, emphasizing the previous benefits without the need to sacrifice what all the other fans generally do: the noise.
		08/2007 Gaming Devils: Accelero S2 + Turbo Module The difference here is fairly obvious and somewhat unexpected. The 32 degree difference experienced during the most stressful parts of the benchmark. I would highly recommend this aftermarket cooler.
		08/2007 crazy-mods.de Legt man auf ein passives System wert, erreicht man mit dem reinen Accelero S2 schon gute Werte. Die beste Leistungsentfaltung erreicht man jedoch mit dem Turbo-Modul. Die damit erreichten Temperaturwerte sind wirklich erstaunlich.
		07/2007 HardwarecrewMal wieder typisch für Arctic Cooling - kann man doch für knapp über 10 Euro einen sehr guten Kühler kaufen.[...] Die Kühlleistung ist mehr als überzeugend - vielleicht sollte gar der eingesessene Passiv-Gegner mal einen Blick riskieren. [...] Alles in allem verdient der Arctic Cooling Accelero S1/2 einschließlich dem Turbo Module mit Empfehlung unseren Preis-/Leistungs-Award.
		07/2007 Elite Bastards: Accelero S2 It's silent running, it offers superior cooling performance to the reference cooler in our particular case. The Accelero S2 is simply superb in both design and performance.
		07/2007 BurnOutPC: Accelero S2 I'm pleased with the results.
		07/2007 HardwareCanucks: Accelero S2 + Turbo Module Accelero S2 simply blows the competition out of the water when using the heatsink without a fan attached. It is truly amazing to see a passive heatsink outstrip a stock active cooler. Accelero S2 promises to deliver superior passive cooling performance.
		06/2007 Svět hardware: Accelero S2 The thermal performance of Arctic Cooling Accelero S1 and S2 speaks for itself, it is simply outstanding. The coolers are easy to install, there are heatsinks for BGA memory modules included.
		06/2007 Bjorn3D: Accelero S2 Accelero S2’s performance really surprised me. In addition to the great performance. The unit would also be a great choice for those who wish to build a quieter system yet do not wish to sacrifice the performance by going with an entry level card.
		05/2007 Overclock3D.Net: Accelero S2 The Arctic Cooling Accelero S2 is an impressive cooler. We saw temperature drops of around 10°C o­n the stock solution. The fact that it is totally silent means that you don't have to worry about noise at all which is not o­nly impressive but also very reassuring. Other than that it's a no-brainer - I'm finding it hard to say why you shouldn't get o­ne for your card.
		05/2007 X-bit labs: Accelero S2 Arctic Cooling solutions proved up to the mark and performed perfect according to their positioning and range of supported graphics cards. They are truly the best graphics card coolers out there.

		04/2007 NexoPC: Accelero S2 We had tested a passive solution for our GPU and obtained better results than with a fan cooler. o­nce again Arctic Cooling didn´t defraud us, you can really see that people of AC knows what we need and how to achive it. The Accelero S2 fulfill what it promised and so we can have a video card working with 0dB, that´s right, no noise... something really wonderful.

Even where more road Zalman VF900 CU it remains behind.
		03/2007 HardwareZone: Accelero S2 During peak loads however, that reading went up to 50, a very impressive number when compared against the temperatures recorded with the card's default passive cooler, which shot up to a scalding 80 degrees Celsius at full load. It is a decently priced and excellent passive cooler that performs to the high standards that we have come to expect from Arctic Cooling.
		03/2007 TweakTown: Accelero S2 The heatsink is excellent quality and super quiet (silent in fact), performance is great
