Quiet and Efficient Cooling Solutions for Overclockers

Accelero XTREME Plus & ARCTIC F TC Fan

For Immediate Release

(Pfffikon/Switzerland, August 13 2010) ARCTIC is launching a new VGA cooler and case fan todayAccelero XTREME

Plus and ARCTIC F TC Fan (Temperature Control Fan). The AcceleroXTREME Plus is a multi-compatible cooler fo

high-end VGA boards. While the Accelero XTREME series has gained notable recognition in the past, the engineering

team in ARCTIC continues to improve and creates a VGA cooler that is compatible with various high-end graphic cards.

The F TC fan is a case fan that signals appropriate fan speed to provide optimal air ventilation inside a PC case.

Promising Results in the Accelero XTREME Series

While high-end VGA stock coolers are usually noisy and inefficient, ARCTIC develops the Accelero XTREME Plus, a

much more effective inaudible cooling solution, for users to replace those stock coolers. The maximum cooling capacity of

the Accelero XTREME Plus is 250W, which is an unmatched cooling performance in this multi-compatible VGA cooler.

Since the fan models in the Accelero XTREME series have proven to be inaudible and effective, the Accelero XTREME

Plus adopts a similar design three ultra-quiet 92mm PWM fans with low noise impeller, five heat pipes and 84 fins for

efficient heat dissipation. This three-fan cooler runs from 900-2000 RPM to generate enough airflow to dissipate hea

quickly from the GPU.

The cooling performance and noise level in the Accelero series offers promising results. When the Accelero XTREME

Plus is used with ATI Radeon HD 5870 graphic card, the noise level is 0.5 sone with temperature maintaining at 41C at2000 RPM. However, when the stock cooler runs at the same

speed, it is 3.5 sone with temperature at 77C. With this

comparison, it is evident that Accelero XTREME Plus manages to

reduce temperature effectively at minimum noise level. The

patented fan holder on this cooler also plays a prominent role in

reducing noise to a minimum level as it eliminates the vibrating

sound of the fan with the frame. ARCTIC MX-4, the new thermal

compound from ARCTIC, has been pre-applied onto the copper

plate to provide superior thermal conductivity. Accelero XTREME Plus

An Extension of Accelero XTREME Series

Another key feature in the Accelero XREME Plus is its interchangeable mounting plate for vast compatibility for new or

yet to be released graphic cards. Along with the Accelero XTREME Plus, users need to purchase and install a set oaccessories with their cooler, including a mounting frame, thermal glue,

heatsinks for RAM coolers, and heatsinks for voltage regulators1.

Rather than having several VGA coolers designated for specific

graphic cards, ARCTIC develops this generic model of cooler and

various accessory sets to make the cooler compatible with different

VGA boards. As new VGA cards are released, ARCTIC will design

and release new fittings; hence this makes the Accelero XTREME

Plus very versatile for overclockers to upgrade their computers

frequently. This also helps overclockers to provide quick and effective

cooling solution for new graphic boards.

With the proven engineering design in Accelero XTREME Plus along with its new multi-compatibility with many VGA

boards, overclocking can be maximized. The Accelero XTREME Plus can for sureenhance overclocking performance

and also extend service life of VGA board as well.

The Accelero XTREME Plus comes with a 2 year limited warranty. It will be available in early September of 2010. The

MSRP is US$65.95 / 54.95, excl.VAT.

The new ARCTIC F TC Fan features a temperature sensor cable to detect internal temperature and regulate fan speed

automatically. The relationship between the detected temperature and fan speed is positively correlated the warmer the

temperature, the faster the fan speed would turn. Hence, with a fan controller on board, users can simply plug-and-use

without adjusting BIOS system since the fan is able to run by itself. With a 40cm long intelligent sensor probe, it is very

flexible for users to attach it to anywhere that can accurately detect the internal case temperature.

The ARCTIC F TC Fan is connected with a three-pin connector and is available in three standard sizes: 80mm, 92mm

and 120mm. Its mounting frame is 25mm thick with screw holes on both sides, which can be mounted in both ways for

blowing or extracting air in the computer case. This offers great flexibility for users to install it as an intake or outtake fan.

As depicted in the diagram, when the ambient

temperature is below 32C, the fan speed remains

relatively stable at its minimum spinning rate, 500 RPM.

This speed gives adequate ventilation at lowest noise

level. The steep curve signifies that when the detected

temperature reaches above 32C, the fan speed rapidly

increases to 2000 RPM to provide immediate cooling.

Since it is optimal to keep case temperature between

30C to 38C, the temperature controller signals the fan

and reduces the heat drastically when it reaches above

the critical range.

The Blades

The ARCTIC F TC Fan is equipped with nine blades to efficiently create higher airflow inside a computer case. This

refined ninja-knife design improves laminar air flow while reducing noise level at the same time. The nine -blade fans

have proven to operate at 20% higher efficiency than regular seven-blade ones as it can increase airflow rate and remain

nearly inaudible at most times.

Since the ARCTIC F TC Fan incorporates the technology of

sensor cable and a two-way mountable

frame, it is a flexible and ultimate cooling

solution with efficient cooling performance

at a minimum noise level. The ARCTIC F

TC Fan can certainly improve computer

case ventilation system entirely and

effectively.
