Arctic Accelero Hybrid VGA Cooler Review

Installation (Cont’d)

The solder side of the video card is shown in Figure 13. Here you can see the backplate where the four screws that hold the cooler in place are inserted.

Thanks to the several threaded holes at the base of the cooler, the Accelero Hybrid is compatible with most video cards.

Figures 14 and 15 show the four sides of the Accelero Hybrid installed on our video card.

After installing the cooler on the video card, you must install it on a motherboard’s slot, and then install the radiator with the 120 mm fan. Arctic suggests several places and ways to instal
l it on the front or rear panels. We decided to install the radiator on the top panel in order to avoid the hot air coming from the processor cooler. See Figure 16.
