Accelero XTREME Plus II

Today I will be reviewing the Arctic Accelero XTREME Plus II. This is a Graphics Card heatsink-cooler designed to cool even the hottest of cards – including my own Inno3D GTX580 OC, whilst remaining reasonably quiet.

With regard to Arctic, I have high expectations; personally I’ve owned a number of their products over my years in computers, from the Arctic Cooling Freezer 7 Pro – a low price but high performing CPU cooler to the Accelero S1 Rev. 2 – a low price GPU cooler, yet again with high performance.

However, one thing I have noted is the sudden lack of “cooling” in the Arctic name – does this mean they’ve abandoned their focus on cooling products and moved elsewhere – e.g. to the Arctic Sound P531 headset I recently reviewed, which I must say outperformed my expectations. I guess testing will have to prove this either way.
