Accelero S1 Plus or Rev.2 - Is it worth the difference?

[NateCordova]

Is the price difference worth it? What changes in terms of temperature?

I'll use it to cool off a Nvidia 8800 GT (yeah i have a old system)

Not exactly sure which 2 devices you are comparing. Go here:

I am sorry, i am not allowed to edit messages! So i'll have to double post, hope you understand.

S1 rev.2: http://www.arctic.ac/en/p/cooling/ [...] ev.-2.html

They look virtually identical and I would suspect that their performance is very similar (if not identical). You could also add this to either to enhance the cooling capacity:

I actually used an S1 Plus with an older GPU a couple of years ago. It actually worked well and was dead silent (as expected).

Save your money and get the less expensive of the 2 VGA coolers.

Good luck!
