7970/50 Arctic Accelero Users
- Thread starter LtMatt
- Start date
The fan speed is reported incorrectly, its about 2200rpm max which is almost silent. The accelero at 100% sounds like a stock fan at 15%.
The card you have many not have vrm monitoring im afraid.
Makes it difficult when OCing, but I gave up on benching since my cpu isnt the top of the top. Since its only i5 2400 3.6GHz
But the voltage problem is annoying as I have to put constant voltage on my card to keep it stable
BOOST technology is very annoying, they should let the user choose if he wants the boost or not in the drivers +small info about it.

Hey guys without reading through this whole thread could someone tell me how well the heatsinks stuck on?
I fitted a single fan version of this to an old card a few months ago and the grey paste glue stuff didn't seem to stick very well or dry very fast.
I may have not read the instructions properly and wondered if this was an issue as I'm thinking of getting this cooler and msi 7970 next time I get paid.

The paste isn't the best. It takes a skilled tactician to use it. Rather than putting yourself through the stresses and strains of using the supplied G1 may i recommend you use this thermal tape instead.

Its cheap and works well. Tommy used it himself. Its double sided adhesive so you just put that on the gpu then stick the heatsinks on to that. This will wipe hours off the install time. You can stick the sinks on and use it immediately.
If you do happen to get this cooler, can i have your G1? That stuff is like crack to me. Can't get enough of it. I'll be happy to cover any postage costs etc. Maybe we can discuss it further via trust.

You can have mine, that's for sure. I'm not really the patient type so the tape sounds like the better option for me. I'll be buying mine friday, as soon as I get it I'll pm you and get it sent over.
Is there much difference in temps with the tape once it's bedded in?

Breathe Matt. Breathe.
Like buses eh?

LOL, matt maybe won the lottery?
Your missus sneakily took a pic, said youve been dancing about the house holding your hands in the air:
Have you guys seen these they are meant for use with a waterblock but apparently they will fit with the Accelero with a bit of grinding down and do wonders for cooling the VRM's and Memory. They are made by swiftech and fit reference based models.

About a day late mate, but In your defense(if you checked back) I posted it in spoiler tags not to take up bandwidth.

Anyone have any experience with the sekisui thermal tape? Everywhere I've looked everyone is raving about it like it's the best thing since sliced bread!
Soldato
That tape looks more my kind of thing
Yes I'm sure I could post it up to you
LOL!! Thanks Fellas. You made my day. Two packets of G1? I'll have to break out a bottle tonight!
Ain't it always the way, you wait forever for G1 and suddenly two come along at once.
Stop it you!
Give me your g1 please moog.

Will it go to MM?
I'm thinking of changing the BIOS values, like you can in Nvidia.
Put the values of a stable OC and make a copy of original BIOS, but I ain't sure how to do it...hmm

Can't do it on the 79's unless RBE has been updated, or someone else makes an app, made my own custom bios with RBE on my AC Extreme CrossFire 6950>70's@silly volts.
Would just make profiles in an unlocked CCC varying in clockspeed all the way up to 1050MHz.
