accelero s1 nsk2400

[doggyfromplanetwoof]

I have a NSK2400 and of course a soon to be 4850. My system is currently silent and adding a 4850 will not be good at all for me.

Is it possible to bend the accelero s1 over the top of the card and back down? Are they semi easy to bend?

For starters, I think I can get it to about the same size as the MSI silentpipe 8600gt(http://www.ewiz.com/newg/M/S/I...86GT1G/MSI-86GT1G.GIF). Anyone tried bending it like this?

bump because I have an NSK 2480 and I was wondering as well if I can fit an Accelero on a 4850 in this case. Any help is appreciated!

bump, anyone tried this?

I'm not sure if they used the exact same cooler, but I'm pretty sure Hardware Canucks put an S1 on their 4850 during their review.

Thanks but I'm more worried that it won't fit the NSK 2480 case itself. The case is only ~5.5" tall (when horizontal).

Well then you should be able to read the specs for the S1 and then measure in your case to see if there is clearance. It doesn't look very much taller than a dual-slot cooler to me. Can a card like an 8800GTS fit? What graphics card are you running now?

*edit* I just googled it, and the S1 has a clearance height of 32mm. (140mm length and 215mm width).
