arctic accelero mono plus?

[chengda85]

hi I'm considering buying a arctic accelero mono plus to cool my powercolor radeon 7850, i wanted to buy the twin turbo 2 but for some reason nobody sells it anymore in Canada?(maybe someone can give me a link?)

anyways, first of all is the mono plus compatible with a 7850? secondly do the VRMs receive sufficient cooling from just the VRM heat sinks? if not is it a big deal? Is there a way to monitor VRM temperature?

thanks.

The Arctic Accelero Xtreme III for $78 CDN does a great job at cooling the GPU but a lousy job cooling the VRM's. The AMD Reference cooler is exactly opposite doing a descent job cooling the VRM's and some what lousy job of cooling the GPU and Noisy.

It's a No Win Scenario with a Reference AMD Card unless you elect to buy and AIB Air Cooling solution or go under water.

Reading the GPU-Z log file will inform you of your GFX's Frequency, Temps and VCCD off-set voltage.

so is it a problem that the VRMs are cooled lousily? whats AIB air cooling solution?
