Arctic Accelero Xtreme IV GPU Cooler Review

Henry Butt October 14, 2014 Cooling, Featured Announcement, Graphics

Rating: 8.5.

Today we are going to look at Arctic's top-of-the-range GPU air cooler, the Accelero Xtreme IV.  We recently took a look at Arctic's take on all-in-one graphics card cooling, the Accelero Hybrid II, which performed well, despite being let down by a complicated installation process.  We are excited to see how the Accelero Xtreme IV compares.

We tested the Accelero Xtreme III back in 2012 and were very impressed with what it had to offer, awarding it our coveted ‘Must Have' award.  Although the design of the coolers are fairly similar, the Accelero Xtreme IV has been updated to offer support for more recent graphics cards and offers a backplate heatsink to further improve heat dissipation.

Avowed Anniversary

Avowed officially lands on PS5 alongside major Anniversary update

While initial impressions surrounding Obsidian Entertainment’s Avowed left plenty to be desired (in part due to a disparity between fan expectations based on pre-release trailers and the final product), the game itself did offer plenty of fun in its own right, with satisfying wand combat, solid exploration and more. One year on from the game’s release on Xbox and PC, Avowed is now officially available on Sony’s PlayStation 5 – released in alignment with the game’s big anniversary update.

    The Arctic Accelero III has the same config as this, minus the rear VRM and RAM heatsink. Go check it out, its what I am ordering!

    You didn’t mention ANYTHING about what temperatures the VRM1 and 2 get to. This is really important, especially for R9 290 where we had many situations with vrms overheating and causing black screens etc.

    I think this wont fit in motherboards that have PCI-E slot right below the cpu socket (in 1st row) in combination with tower style cooler (for example between my 212 evo and my 290x I can barelly stick a finger between on msi h110m pro-d)

    For the hardcore “MUST SLi BEAST POWER GPU” types out there, this exists.
    Mod to your hearts content, and if it lights on fire.. well you’ll have the rear plate to grill on.
