Accelero X2 shiping with Voltage Regulator Heat Spreader Module?

[Pobman]

As per the title are the Accelero X2 from OcUK shipping with Voltage Regulator Heat Spreader Module as per the recent press release from AC, or am I going to need to pick one up? (this is for a X1950 Pro)

I didn't get one with mine but Arctic Cooling sent me a link to their eBay shop where you can order all spare parts.

Dunno if I can post the link on here though.

Just be aware that these are designed for the PCI-E only. I verified with Arctic Cooling when this came up on another board.

God damn it!

God damn it!

I agree. The reason given is there are too many different PCB designs for the AGP card and they couldn't do a one-size-fits-all.

I'll have a look at it when it arrives anyway.
If not I guess the Zalman ZM-RHS1 Silent VGA RAM Heatsink Kit should fit on the voltage regulators.

Anyway, why aren't the Accelero equipped PowerColor ATI Radeon X1950 Pro Extreme SILENT Heatpipe cards fitted with any heat spreaders?

 

[Darren555]

Ok so the voltage regulator heat spreader module definitely doesn't fit the AGP version.

The Powercolor version of this card with the Accelero X2 fitted as standard doesn't have a heat spreader or heatsinks yet in the product blurb it states that is has Voltage Convertor Cooling

Can anybody clarify?

Well it does blow air in their direction... anybody want to test on a Sapphire

Still got the stock cooler on for now, only makes a noise now and then, ie when temps shoot to 85C ... opening the window and letting the -21C air come in keeps it a bit cooler though who needs liquid nitrogen cooling when Russian winter can do it for you!
