High-end Passive Cooling : The Accelero S3 further improved the outstanding results of the S1 PLUS. Thanks to its patented heat sink design, the Accelero S3 is capable to cool even high-end graphics cards of the calibre of an R7-260X or a GTX 660 entirely passive. Backside Cooler for Highest Efficiency: ARCTIC has developed and patented a back side cooler for previously unknown VRM and RAM cooling performance. Voltage Regulator ICs are heating up the complete board to a level which is not just for the ICs itself dangerous, but mainly lowers the service life of other components dramatically. Our patented back-side cooler keeps the board and all components around the GPU on low temperature. Complete Silence : Silence enthusiasts will definitely love the Accelero S3. As a passive cooler, it is completely noise-free while keeping the graphics card working under reasonable temperature. Multi-Compatibility : The Accelero S3 features a versatile, problem free mounting system that allows this cooler to be the most compatible yet. Installation without Thermal Glue: Up to now the meticulous work of attaching different heat sinks with thermal glue was necessary. Thanks to the innovative back side plate this is a thing of the past. Without any thermal glue the graphics card can be returned to its original condition any time without leaving marks or residues.
