The Accelero XTREME Plus has a modular installation system, meaning that you need to buy the acessory set compatible with your video card. As we would test it on a GeForce GTX 460, the manufacturer sent us the the kit shown in Figures 10 and 11, since the plate that comes with the cooler is not compatible with our VGA. This accessory set comes with a compatible plate, heatsinks for the memory chips and voltage regulator circuit transistors, and the thermal adhesive required to stick the heatsinks to these components.
