Arctic Cooling Accelero XTREME 4870X2 VGA Cooler

[VodKa420]

does anyone know if i can use a NZXT Sentry-2 5.25" Touch Screen fan controller to control the fan speed of a Arctic Cooling

Accelero XTREME 4870X2 VGA Cooler for a HD 4870 X2. basically does the controller have the same fan connector? or could

anyone recommend a temperature monitor/fan controller that would work. combination of the two or seperate units

The Accelero XTREME 4870X2 comes with a three pin fan plug that would allow you to control it off one of the M/B headers are a fan controller.

i hear ya on that but im already going to have some kind of external temperature

display with high temp alarm. i learned with my 1950 xtx that having that is very

helpful. i usually use ati tools to control fan speed but it has malfunctioned on me

plenty and so would like to use something like the NZXT Sentry-2 to monitor and

control the card. the accelero uses PWM fans. does that matter if i were to use

the sentry for the fan control and can i even use it at all with that 3 pin accelero?

are you sure it has a 3 pin connector? the stock fan on the 4870 is a 4 pin

in addition if anyone has the time check out my newegg wish list for the gaming setup

im building and give me some feedback on the setup

thought about doing a crossfire setup but i think the HD 4870 X2 is enough and

will give me less problems heat and o/c wise

Post this in new system builds. I would say there are better options open to you. Go to new system builds they will help you setup the best system for your money.

I would wait a couple days and get the newer ATI cards as they will be faster then the 4870 X2 and cost the same if not less.
