4870 and Accelero S1 compatibility

[Gideon Lorr]

Considering purchasing a 'standard' 4870 card soon, and I am just after comfirmation that the spare Accelero S1 (says revision 2) I have can be put on a 4870 once the reference cooler is removed (i.e. is it compatible)?

Yes it does fit. Even their product pages states it...

Why I didn't just think of checking the product page I'll never know
Cheers.

Edit: would it be worth while putting on a 120mm fan in addition?

Yes, gets the GPU cooler and will help keep the VRMs happy
