Accelero Twin Turbo Pro GPU Cooler - Temps & Fan Noise @ 7V

[humph]

Hi all,

Does anyone have one of these coolers?

Getting annoyed at the noise from my stock cooler on the GFX card.
However, this card - being heavily cost reduced for maximum profit - does not have the 4 pin PWM fan connector that's on reference 4870s. Or even a 3 pin one...just 2 pins.

So, probably I'd need to power the fans from the main PSU using the (supplied?) cable at 7V.

Which, if not quiet and also producing good airflow sufficient for full-load cooling, may just make the make the whole point to replace the stock cooler all a bit pointless. I don't want to have to mess with manual variable speed controllers. Just set it (ie: 7V), and leave it.

I don't plan to overclock the graphics card.
(But hey, I might, it if were really cool and quiet!).

Answering my own post, in case others are interested!

Yep, this is a nice cooler. Much Quieter and 20C cooler.

Also much better cooling of the on-board "stock" heatsink on the power transistor/voltage regs, even though I had to chop a few mm off it to get the Accelero to fit.

And was able to re-pin the fans connector to drive them off the (only) 2-wire voltage based GPU fan speed control.
