Thread: Arctic Cooling Accelero XTREME 4870X2 VGA Cooler

Does anyone know if i can use a NZXT Sentry-2 5.25" Touch Screen fan controller to control the fan speed of a Arctic Cooling

Accelero XTREME 4870X2 VGA Cooler for a HD 4870 X2. Basically does the controller have the same fan connector? Or could

anyone recommend a temperature monitor/fan controller that would work. Combination of the two or separate units.

The Accelero XTREME 4870X2 comes with a three pin fan plug that would allow you to control it off one of the M/B headers are a fan controller.

I hear ya on that but im already going to have some kind of external temperature display with high temp alarm. i learned with my 1950 xtx that having that is very helpful. i usually use ati tools to control fan speed but it has malfunctioned on me plenty and so would like to use something like the NZXT Sentry-2 to monitor and control the card. the accelero uses PWM fans. does that matter if i were to use the sentry for the fan control and can i even use it at all with that 3 pin accelero?

Are you sure it has a 3 pin connector? the stock fan on the 4870 is a 4 pin.
