AMD’s flagship HD6990: is silent air cooling possible? @ KitGuru

Stefan Mileschin · 19th October 2011, 07:40

When AMD released the HD6990 it claimed the ‘fastest video card’ title and has held it since March this year. While we love the product we absolutely loathe the reference cooler – AMD’s choice of tiny red fan has been a bone of contention for me now for years and it doesn’t seem to be changing anytime soon. Thankfully Arctic have a firm grasp of the enthusiast sector and released the Accelero Twin Turbo 6990 – an expensive, but class leading cooling solution for AMD’s flagship. Since our review went live a few days ago we have been inundated with emails asking if it would be possible to improve, or swap out the twin 120mm fans for something better.
