Does anyone know if Arctic Cooling are planning a Accelero Xtreme for the Radeon HD 5970 like the did with the 4870X2 at all?

I'd rather go down this route (or a Thermalright solution) rather than watercooling.

The noise of the reference fan is driving me crazy! lol ;)

I'm assuming not at the moment so I sent them an email to see if I hear any word from the horse's mouth; I'll post any reply that I get:

Dear Arctic Cooling,

I would be very interested to know if your company is planning to make a Radeon HD 5970 version of the Accelero Xtreme GPU cooling product in the near future?

I am enjoying my 5970 very much but finding it is running rather noisy under load!

The only alternative (which I'm not keen on) seems to be watercooling currently.

Many thanks in advance!

Kind regards,

.....I'll keep ya posted!
 
Cool!

Got confirmation this is coming soon! :D

I asked again to get an update. Looks like it's close. I had the followng answer:

Dear Gandalf

Thanks a lot for your support to ARCTIC COOLING.

And yes, the Accelero XTREME 5970 is on the way. OEM version is now ready -

Betreff: Accelero coming for 5970?

Hello there. Referring to this forum thread I hear that you have a custom
cooling solution for 5970 coming:

http://forums.overclockers.co.uk/showthread.php?t=18088639

<http://forums.overclockers.co.uk/showthread.php?t=18088639> You then
replied that you would release this soon, but that was early December 2009.
Now nearly 3 months later still nothing, so I would just like to know if it
is still planned? I really hope it's coming, my whole decision of whether to
buy a 5970 could very well depend on it; allegedly the stock cooling should
be noisy and even make rattling noises. I keep my hopes up!

Sincerely,
Gandalf Saxe
 
Awesome...finally :)

Looks brilliant...just what I was waiting for!

I have been loyally waiting for a high-end cooling solution prior to overclocking my 5970 for months.

Almost feels like patiently waiting to get married before jumping into bed with a girl (not that I followed that advice! :P)
 
Gawd. Looks like they strapped three CPU coolers to the card.

Are the PCIe slot and the screw brackets really supposed to take that kind of weight?
 
cost is really the only factor for me - if you have a loop that will either take this or need fettling to take this go with the wc option - if not wait it out. If your fan dies in the meantime you've only to wait on a new card from rma.
