Arctic Accelero Hybrid VGA Cooler Review
Installation
Contents
In order to run a performance test, we installed the Accelero Hybrid on our Point of View GeForce GTX 460 video card. Figures 9 and 10 show the card with and without its stock cooler.

The first step of the Accelero Hybrid installation is to fit the GPU block inside the frame, as shown in Figure 11. You also need to connect the wiring present on the frame to the cable on the GPU block. The radiator fan is also connected to the system. A standard peripheral power connector from the power supply powers the entire system. A cable is connected on the video card’s original fan power connector in order to control the whole system based on the PWM signal from the card.
