4870 + Arctic Cooling Accelero S1 Rev. 2 w/ Turbo Module

Video Card + Cooler

I installed the Accelero S1 Rev. 2 with the turbo module on my 4870 today and am astounded at the difference in temperature. With the stock cooler I was idling around 70° and getting as hot as 99° at load (yeow!). This cooler has nearly halved my temps. I’m now idling at 41°, and haven’t hit more than 54° at load.

I also installed two Spinpoint F1 1TB disks, one for backup and one for files. I’ve never suffered data loss, but I’ve been increasingly concerned that my luck is too good to last. It was time to get a new disk, anyway, because my 400GB drive was full. I’m donating it to Elias–we’re working on setting up a nice gaming computer for him this weekend.

Also, I’ve added a new category, “Tech”, since I’ve been posting so much about my little project here. I’ve finally got some pics available:
