OK, I know what you're talking about now. I already had quiet, low-flow 120mm fans in my parts bin, so I just mounted them. Think back to just a few years ago. Who would have thought of a VGA cooler that would easily accept a 1 2 0 millimeter fan! LOL
I have two machines running 8800GTs, overclocked and at full load. Both those video cards are cooled with Acceleros mounted with 120s. Ambient room temperature now is 74F (heat in the house radiates up to the top floor). One card is running at 41C and the other at 44C.
I think the TRad2's design and execution is very good, but at 50-80% higher cost than the Accelero, I just don't see it.
