aftermarket cooling solutions for your graphics cards they've taken over the market in fact they've infested the market to the point where you can't even breathe anymore though today's story is a little bit different it's about grabbing a neglected cooler that had a hard life and comparing it against one of the top dogs out there the wind force and let's see how it does welcome to tech city this is brand coming to you guys today with a video on my Exelero cool that I managed to pick up with a banged-up 780 in Japan for around about 130 dollars quite some time ago and it wasn't actually until recently I decided to retrofit this thing to the 980ti first alders just see if it worked and second of all to compare it to an aftermarket cooling solution like the wind force cooler that's out there at the moment now the wind force cooler is renowned in the market for having low acoustics good performance and also a pretty sleek design and this cooler did exceptionally well on the 980 I mean a 25 degree ambient temperatures this thing was only bumping up to around 67 degrees when it came to a fire strike benchmark also in Douma managed to top around 70 degrees so was doing very well and this was on a custom fan profile which I decided to keep for the Exelero as well when I tested that now changing over to the accelerate I was absolutely blown away by how good this thing was we went from 67 degrees with the same fan profile all the way down to 46 degrees that's right a 21 degree drop in temperatures just by changing the cooling solution alone I've never seen temperatures this low as well for an air cooling solution on a graphics card 46 degrees 1.5 gigahertz on a 980 TI which is pretty much the top dog in terms of power consumption and heat output for a graphics card out there at the moment now why is the accelerating this damn good temperatures I don't know I'd have to put it down to the grade of copper that they're using in the base of the block and also put it down to those fans they performed really well for what they are and also the sheer size this thing is a pretty big cooler now it is an expensive unit and the reason I'm doing this video is because I picked it up for free so I'm guessing if you guys see one of these accelerate colors on a banged-up graphics card I would honestly take that chance at that graphics card even though the graphics card might not work you're going to get a really good cooling solution out of gravis so what are the drawbacks to the Exelero well the first thing is the price this thing comes in at around about a hundred dollars the second thing is the sheer size of this thing it's almost a triple slot solution so you will have to make room in your case and it is pretty lengthy as well another thing is the installation you're going to have to change out your current graphics card cooling solution and replace it with the Exelero if you want to get this thing working though with all that aside you will get some massive temperature drops as I said there before even compared to some of those awesome aftermarket cooling solutions which are out there at the moment the one more thing I wanted to talk about before I get out of here is just accelerate don't get enough credit for their cooling solutions I mean I didn't even know that GPU cooling solutions with this damn good I always thought they just made good thermal paste but from here on in I'm definitely going to be trying their CPU coolers as well because what I saw here today was just magic the seductive time not the Voodoo kind either what about the GTX 780 that I had here well they've got some loving - I managed to retrofit the 980ti windforce on here even though there wasn't that many differences I just had to cut out some of the fins at the end and also the PCB is now bent a little bit due to this vrm heatsink sort of not fitting properly the one thing about this cooler was that the memory banks were lined up perfectly from a 980 eye to a 780 which means the whole lot and the design didn't change there and also this little bit on the end here is a little bit bent out too so it does overclock perfectly fine I managed to get this up to 1.2 gigahertz and the memory is running cool the solution itself is running cool and it's doing a perfect job so anyway I'm going to get on out of here if you liked this video then hit that like button also let me know if you've tried an Excel or Arctic cooling solution before then drop a comma in the comment section below let me know your thinker if even if you haven't tried one just say Brian I want this magic and maybe I'll fly over the half puffs in and show you an excel or oh cool oh that I hacked off some gtx 1070 or 1080 five sixty I'm just making up numbers here anyway guys I'll catch you in the next tech video peace out for now bye I don't know what the better deal was with this gravis card the actual 780 PCB or that Excel or a cooler I'm kind of thinking the Excel or a color was and the world keeps turning to the triple fan model there with the two and a half cut slot the seductive kind not the Voodoo kind either
