Accelero Hybrid

My experiences with the ARCTIC Accelero Hybrid have revealed a product that's not unlike a powerful weapon. The end result of having the Hybrid installed on a GeForce GTX 680 is almost something that must be seen to be believed. As I've been writing this review, I've actually been steadily testing overclocking on the GTX 680 plus Hybrid by incrementing the GPU Offset +10MHz, running it through OC Scanner X for fifteen minutes (and accepting no artifacts), then benchmarking it in 3DMark 11's Extreme test. This is by no means a thorough stability test, but it's a decent way to poke around the edges of the card's tolerances. I can't imagine how much hotter and louder it would be running with the reference cooler, but with the Hybrid at 85% it's peaking at 63C. That's at 1.3GHz, sustained load.

The ARCTIC Accelero Hybrid has proven itself as an excellent cooling system, which is capable of lowering the GTX680's temperatures significantly during load. The noise of the entire system was also reduced significantly at the same time.

PWM-controlled fan method, with the minimum speed was completely silent, and rotating at maximum rate (1350 RPM) spread slightly audible air flow flap. Accelero Hybrid once again attracted the most effective when the cool air from the environment.

Accelero Hybrid: 28 vs. 51
Sapphire HD 7870 Flex: 51 vs 57

Accelero Hybrid delivers! 30 degrees lower temperature on the graphics processor is a huge difference.

The temperature record with the Accelero Hybrid is excellent! The maximum temperature is only 46 C at load, whereas the temperature exceeds 80 C with the stock cooler.

The Hybrid's cooling was excellent and its GPU delta T of 26 C was a massive 24 C cooler than our GTX 680's reference cooler.

"The result of the Hybrid is really outstanding with pure performance. Graphics card temperature is impressively low even at overclocked frequencies, while noise levels are really pleasant.

In comparison with the Asus DirectCU II cooler, at full load the Hybrid runs 6^oC cooler, and 23^oC cooler when compared to Nvidias reference cooler.

Even when it comes to noise the Hybrid shines. Despite being armed with dual fans, the noise level kept is at a really comfortable level."

Awesome because it is simply perfect, top performance, low noise level, extremely well furnished bundle, low VRM temps and good build quality, what do you need more?

Arctic Cooler Accelero Hybrid is the most powerful universal cooler graphics cards on the market.

The stock coolers have no way to compete with the Accelero Hybrid(30c difference from stock cooler).

Both coolers (Accelero Xtreme III and Accelero Hybrid) are very quiet, in this aspect they are the best on the market.

The Accelero Hybrid combines the ease of use of an air cooler with the cooling potential of circulating liquid.It is also an excellent product, allows a huge decrease in the temperature, almost halving the idle temperatures.

The new Accelero Hybrid dropped the temperature by 35 degrees, while occupying less space and lowered the noise level by 15dB.

High cooling performance and excellent overall quality.

The cooling performance that was achieved with the Accelero Hybrid was unbelievable.

The cooling performance of Accelero Hybrid shows it is worth for its value. In addition, there is a noticeable difference in noise level when comparing to the stock cooler (only 23 dBA)

You will get a fresh Breeze with the new edition of the ARCTIC Breeze.

Hybrid vastly exceeded the performance of the factory cooler. An impressive package that will tame any blazing graphics card you have to offer.

55^oC maximum GPU temperature on a GTX680 overclocked to 1288MHz!

When compared directly against the reference cooler, the Accelero Hybrid drops load temperatures by a whopping 30c-33c. In real world terms, the Accelero Hybrid gaming load temperature is close to the idle temperature of the reference cooler. This is about as good as you could expect from any 'all in one' cooling solution.

Up to 31 ^oC better than the reference coolers, the temperature showed a high overclocking potential. It is also compatible with all high-end cards with easy installation.
