Arctic Cooling Shows Off Accelero-Xtreme

8:22 AM - 02/29/2008 by Tom's Hardware CeBIT Team

Swiss maker of coolers, Arctic Cooling, is expanding its product line by introducing a new graphics card cooler. The new Xtreme series will appear in two version, supporting ATI and Nvidia cards. While the Nvidia version is designed for use with G80 cards 8800 GT, GTX and Ultra, its ATI counterpart is only compatible with the Radeon HD 2900 XT.

The Accelero Xtreme

Outwardly, the two coolers appear to be nearly identical, differing only in the way they are mounted. Five heatpipes ensure that the heat produced by the GPU is dissipated through 107 cooling fins. No less than three fans provide airflow to the heatsinks, using pulse width modulation (PWM) to regulate their speed. The fans spin at between 1500 and 2500 rpm, providing a maximum airflow of 107 m³ per hour.

Arctic Cooling claims this cooler can cope with up to 240 Watts of heat dissipation, thanks to airflow optimizations. Also, it is meant to lower the GPU temperature by at least 20° C compared to stock coolers, making it an ideal choice for overclockers. According to the manufacturer's specifications, the cooler weighs 440 grams and is rated at a thermal resistance of only 0.14 K/W.

Thanks to the PWM regulation, the three fans are very quiet. Additionally, a specially patented mounting suspension is meant to reduce fan vibrations to a minimum.

Coolers are available in stores at around €35.

Hi All,I have just taken delivery of my Z500 and first results seem promising, After trying it out in my garden I played the footage back on my 47" HD LCD TV the pictures were stunning every detail including zoom footage was truly amazing, I think the owners manual could have been improved on and a little more detail would have been better, I have mine on 30 day appro, and no way is this going back.

I am a TomsHardware fan since 2003 and I will be forever.
I don't comment a lot but since I am right now, just wanna say that quality of some reviews are poor, reviews should go deep into details. I am not saying all reviews are poor... just some of them.

I got the 2263UW Samsung 22" Monitor for the hot design, sacrificed 10000:1 and 2ms and got 8000:1 and 5ms which is average in my consideration. Other Samsung monitors have better specs than this.

I have used Samsung, BenQ, ACER and ViewSonic LCD monitors and I like Samsung most in terms of visual quality.

The 2263UW didn't have a lot of reviews on the internet but I just went and grabbed it hoping for the best. I got a Samsung A panel which is supposed to be the best, however, I am really disappointed in the depth of color, the colors are not deep enough. I tried correcting it but I am still having problems. The monitor's menu is full of predefined settings which is really confusing.

I didn't test the web cam nor speakers. I didn't test the HDMI.
Touch sensitive buttons are reactive enough and aided with beeping sound but you can't tell which button you are pressing so you have to look at them. When you change a setting, the monitor lags for about 1 second like it's saving so the touch buttons will not react.

Don't expect a lot from the included software.

I am really disappointed in the color depth as in my previous experience, Samsung had rich colors. I will be looking for any new calibrations that give better colors.

My suggestion, don't buy this monitor, get another one.
I had great experience with Samsung, I am planning to get a new Samsung monitor soon if this one didn't meet my expectations.

Regarding the BlackLight Bleeding, most monitors bigger than 20" may have some, I have 1cm of bright black light bleeding at the top of the screen and some faded blacklight bleeding at the bottom of the screen.
