Hi, I've just installed and Arctic Cooling Accelero S1 along with AC Turbo Module fans on it and the GPU is idling at 42 and under full load at low 50s . I'm very happy with this result comparing to the poorly constructed stock cooler but I'm wondering if this is the best temp I can get with the Accelero S1? Anyone with better result that would like to share?

Maybe try going with an inexpensive water cooling system.I know AQUAGATE has a nifty preassembled unit,including the coolant.The only mods I'd recommend is maybe installing a resevoir tank so you can keep the level topped up.and get rid of air bubbles.Worth a try.Goodluck.

Hey thanks DAHAK for the advice but if you read my post CAREFULLY I said I just installed this NEW cooler. And yes I have a Zalman made water cooling system hooked to my other PC and I do favor the water cooling over air cooling but water cooling is just too much work.

spoonboy I would overclock it just for Crysis :) but I've already beat it and there aren't any games that would require overclocking to get more juice, yet.
