I just put one of those on my 3870. It works awesome with the chip not getting over 70C ever.

Unfortunately temp was not holding me back on my OC. I still get 850/1250 max.
On the upside, you now have one that is passively cooled, and thus can theoretically last you forever.

The downside is you won't be able to do CrossFire X now.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20567903 Sat, 31 May 2008 07:39:56 EDT Re: Accelero S1 rev.2 on Sapphire HD 3870 http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20506492 outtherenost : I just put one of those on my 3870.

I just couldn't stand the noise the stock Sapphire single slot cooler made, each time it broke the 40 C barrier it was like an aircraft was taking of. Now it sits idle at 38 C and under full load 61 C, 0 dB off course :D
I'm already looking for a passive CPU cooler if that even exists? :o
