Arctic Cooling Announces Accelero Twin Turbo Pro VGA Cooler

Bob — Tue, 17 Nov 2009 02:13:53 +0000

The Swiss low noise cooling solution provider ARCTIC COOLING today announced the launch of the Accelero TWIN TURBO PRO. This dual-fan cooler is designed for fitting ATI and NVIDIA graphic cards, offering a truly cool and quiet solution for most enthusiasts.

This superior cooler is the upgraded version of the reputable Accelero TWIN TURBO. Instead of using 80mm fans, the Accelero TWIN TURBO PRO features two 92mm PWM fans for more advanced heat dissipation. The unconventional 4-heatpipe architecture together with 35 fins achieve up to 120 watts cooling capacity. Also with a layer of the ARCTIC MX-2 thermal compound on the base, the Accelero TWIN TURBO PRO guarantees instant and efficient cooling at all time.

Whisper quiet

Using bigger fans does not mean the noise level will increase. The new fan blades of the Accelero TWIN TURBO PRO are designed for improving the laminar airflow. This new architecture reduces noise level to minimal, achieving a nearly inaudible operation – only 0.3 sone at full speed, even quieter than the Accelero TWIN TURBO.

ATI and NVIDIA compatible

Its flexible mounting mechanism is designed with two sets of screw holes – 53mm and 43mm which are suitable for a wide range of ATI and nVIDIA graphic cards. From ATI Radeon HD 4890 to nVIDIA GeForce 6600, the Accelero TWIN TURBO PRO is the best choice for most overclockers worldwide to unleash their graphic card potential! A cooling solution trusted by industry leaders VGA card manufacturers such as Inno3D, PowerColor / Vertex3D, ELSA and Axle have opted for this ‘turbo’ to boost the graphic performance of their products – so why don’t you get one for yourself?

The Accelero TWIN TURBO PRO won the “Top Product” award and mark 1.54 (very good) from a reputable German PC magazine PC Games Hardware. “ARCTIC COOLING’s Accelero TWIN TURBO PRO offers excellent cooling performance at a very low noise level”, the magazine concluded. The Accelero TWIN TURBO PRO offers a 6-year limited warranty. It will be available in December 2009. The MSRP is US$49.90 and 34.90 € (excl. VAT).

Noctua Presents NH-D14 Premium CPU Cooler

Bob — Thu, 12 Nov 2009 23:40:25 +0000

Noctua today officially presented its long-awaited NH-D14 premium CPU cooler. Combining a massive six heatpipe dual radiator design with an exquisite NF-P14/NF-P12 dual fan configuration, the NH-D14 is built to further improve the renowned quiet cooling performance of Noctua’s award-winning NH-U12P series.

“Our NH-U12P coolers are widely regarded as one of the best solutions on the market, so it makes us especially proud that we can offer a further substantial improvement in quiet cooling performance with the new NH-D14″, explains Mag. Roland Mossig, Noctua CEO. “The NH-D14 in Ultra-Low-Noise mode actually outperforms the NH-U12P at full fan speed, so we’re confident that this cooler will appeal to overclockers and silent enthusiasts alike.”

Providing more surface area, better heat-distribution and superior airflow efficiency than conventional tower style heatsinks, the NH-D14′s six heatpipe dual radiator design was developed to provide ultimate quiet cooling performance with the supplied NF-P14 (140mm) and NF-P12 (120mm) fans. Both fans feature Vortex-Control Notches, SCD technology and SSO-Bearings in order to achieve a perfect balance of performance and quietness.

The NH-D14′s asymmetrical design gives more clearance towards the RAM slots and thus ensures good compatibility despite of the cooler’s size. Hanging out at the bottom of the fin-stacks, the NF-P14 fan doesn’t only contribute to the NH-D14′s superb CPU cooling capabilities but also provides massive airflow over surrounding motherboard components and heatsinks.

Topped off with a tube of Noctua’s award-winning NT-H1 thermal compound as well as the new SecuFirm2 multi-socket mounting system (LGA-1366, LGA-1156, LGA-775, AM2, AM2+ and AM3), the NH-D14 is an elite choice for the highest demands in premium quality quiet cooling.

Price and availability
The NH-D14 will be available by mid-November at a recommended retail price of EUR 74.90 / USD 84.90.
