ARCTIC's upcoming Accelero Xtreme IV GPU cooler has been unveiled by Chiphell Forums. The Accelero Xtreme IV is the spiritual successor of ARCTIC's highly successful Accelero Xtreme III which was launched two years ago with triple fan design to offer extreme cooling to a wide selection of graphics cards.

ARCTIC Accelero Xtreme IV VGA Cooler For Hawaii and GK110 Unveiled

The ARCTIC Accelero Xtreme IV would be the latest addition in ARCTIC's VGA Cooling lineup which is similar to the Xtreme III but offers compatibility with several new graphics cards and features an additional baseplate. The rest of the specifications are kept same which includea 84-fin heatsink with 5 copper heatpipes which comes pre-applied withMX-4thermal compound and is cooled down by three92mm PWM controlled fans which allow upto 300W of cooling performance. The heatsink measures288 (L) x 103 (W) x 50 (H) mm requiring at least three free expansion slots for installation.

5 premium quality copper heatpipes and the award-winning MX-4 thermal compound (pre-applied) conduct heat from the GPU efficiently to the 84-fin aluminum heatsink, meanwhile, the three 92mm PWM fans create massive airflow to bring unparallelled cooling performance, even when higher performance is required under overclocked conditions.

The ARCTIC Accelero Xtreme IV's PCB and memory reinforcement plate helps reduce heat and offers additional cooling to the electrical components on the beefy Hawaii and GK110 based graphics cards. Users who have been waiting for custom coolers for their Hawaii graphics cards (Radeon R9 290X and Radeon R9 290) should check out the new heatsink once its available in the market to enhance their GPU cooling to reduce frame variance which was is an issue with the reference designs.
