There are four holes that are in a square which is about 3mm too small. Widened these with a drill (used a metal drill bit, though aluminium fitting plate is thin enough that you could probably get through with a regular bit). Then attached it using four M3 12mm machine screws (nut loosely glued to fitting plate, screw end goes through underside of card). Tightened (usual X pattern, a bit at a time) until the fitting plate showed a tiny bit of bending. Doesn't even look jerry-rigged. Given that my card has a decent overclock and that the cooler is rated for 120W and the card is 125W, I wasn't sure whether I'd see much improvement in temperature/noise, but for a dirt cheap cooler it's doing a pretty good job. Under heavy load (Unigine Superposition benchmark), with fan curve set to max out at 75%, getting temperature of 75-76C and a rock-steady 2012MHz. With stock cooler I was getting 82C and a clock which fluctuated wildly, mostly between 1961 and 1999 MHz. That was with fan at a steady 65%, but the noise of the L2 at 75% is a fair bit quieter than the stock at 65%. Without any overclock and with fan speed capped at 55% the cooler is very quiet. As I have it, it's certainly not silent, but definitely not loud - about the same level as my PSU, which is a decent PSU. Even at 100%, it's not terrible (if you value temps/performance over quietness, go for it). NB, I used a premium thermal paste (Mastergel Maker) to get those results. I'm going to try Coollaboratory Liquid MetalPad - the only pure metal TIM I know of which can be applied to aluminium - hoping to knock a few more degrees of it and/or to be able to lower the fan speed a little more. [Edit] I've now tried it with the Coollaboratory Liquid Metalpad as TIM. I was a success, though to be honest probably not quite worth the considerable expense of the MetalPad.The clock has gone up, it almost never drops below 2025MHz and often goes into 2050-2075 territory. But MetalPad is a really, really expensive bit of kit, so sticking with high-end non-metal paste is probably a good idea. [Second edit!] Several reviewers mentioned that they found it hard to get the heatsinks to stay stuck using the supplied adhesive. I'd just like to mention that I didn't experience that at all. I have a feeling that arctic have probably reformulated their adhesive since those reviews were written, because the stuff I got worked like a dream. Review: Top bit of kit - I bought this for my HIS 5770 card as the stock cooler was a little on the noisy side when gaming. As with the other reviewers and also various forums online I agree that the instalation of this cooler is a little tricky. The cooler itself is quite large so please bear in mind as you need to make sure you have plenty of room. My original cooler didn't actively cool the vram or the power regulators, so the smaller heatsinks were not used and only four of the eight vram heatsinks were used. The thermal adhesive is straight forward to mix and apply, however DO NOT scrimp on the five hour curing time. I left mine overnight and found that it still hadn't set properly. I guess the heat when the card is reinstalled will fully cure it. The instructions are ok, but could be better, finding out how to orientate the cooler take a few attempts. The little adhesive discs for the spacers might as well not be there as they are really sticky which means they stick to you and the screws. I ended up using a set of needle nose tweezers to place them while threading the screw through the hole. The cooler itself is pretty impressive, my idle temps dropped from around 60c (told you the OE cooler was poor) to around 45c, in game it dropped from 90c to around 70c. The fan is nearly impossible to hear even with heavy gaming. The only drawback is the fan connector. It comes with a 3 or 4 pin connector which probably won't be compatible with your cards fan connector. I managed to prise off the white connector off the board leaving just the pins onto which I pushed the fan connector. So in all, apart from the tricky installation this is a top notch cooler. I really recommend Arctic cooling stuff as I have it on my cpu and two of my three case fans are AC, the other is to be changed soon. ## Features - EFFICIENT COOLING PERFORMANCE: The Accelero L2 Plus features a 92 mm PWM fan, a cooling capacity of 120 Watts and pre-applied MX-4 thermal compound to deliver excellent cooling performance - ULTRA QUIET: Accelero L2 Plus cools efficiently due to an ultra-quiet 120 mm PWM fan, thanks to the PWM control, the speed of both fans adjusts according to the temperature of the GPU and thus the noise level remains at a minimum - ENHANCED RAM AND VR COOLING: The Accelero L2 Plus comes with 31 RAM and VRM heatsinks to keep your RAM and VRM at optimal temperatures, the thermal adhesive facilitates heat dissipation of RAMs and VRMs and offers a strong and lasting bond - MULTI-COMPATIBILITY: It features a versatile mounting system and various RAM and VRM coolers in different sizes and shapes to accommodate a broad range of graphics cards - 0 ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B005I9IM4E | | Are Batteries Included | No | | Brand | ARCTIC | | Colour | Black, Grey, White | | Customer Reviews | 4.1 4.1 out of 5 stars (596) | | Date First Available | 5 Nov. 2011 | | Guaranteed software updates until | unknown | | Item Weight | 250 g | | Item model number | DCACO-V300101-BL | | Manufacturer | ARCTIC | | Product Dimensions | 11.91 x 9.4 x 5.08 cm; 250 g | | Series | DCACOV300101BL | | Voltage | 12 Volts | | Wattage | 120 watts | ## Product Details - **Brand:** ARCTIC - **Compatible devices:** Desktop, Gaming Console - **Cooling method:** Fan - **Global Trade Identification Number:** 00872767004467 - **Material:** Rubber - **Noise level:** 0.4 Decibels - **Power connector type:** 4-Pin - **UPC:** 666674973653 892310195916 872767004467 - **Voltage:** 12 Volts - **Wattage:** 120 watts ## Images ![Accelero L2 Plus - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/615iCEIkEKL.jpg) ![Accelero L2 Plus - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61Rz0Jzm4gL.jpg) ![Accelero L2 Plus - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61oIqUCXCML.jpg) ![Accelero L2 Plus - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61q85zk12RL.jpg) ![Accelero L2 Plus - Image 5](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61rlEmlghsL.jpg) ## Questions & Answers **Q: will this turn a 2 slot video card into 3 slot?** A: Yes. On my machine the graphics card now blocks three of the PCI slots with the Accelero installed. **Q: I've had this cooler for years, with flawless performance, but now the fan is going south. Can you buy a replacement fan alone?** A: Ah, I found it. Just in case this may help someone else, they do sell replacement fans on their page. Unfortunately their shipping is rather extortionate at 13.00 to WA. 2.50 for the part itself. It's only slightly more to buy the whole install kit through Amazon if you have prime.Allegiances being what they are, I feel I may do so as to not pay that ludicrous shipping rate for something that weighs less than 2 ounces. Who knows. perhaps the additional heat sinks will come in useful for something else. **Q: Does anyone know if this will work with a MSI GTX 650? http://www.amazon.com/MSI-Computer-Graphics-N650-2GD5-OC/dp/B00B1960KS/ref=sr_1_6?ie=UTF8&qid=1382241597&sr=8-6&keywords=Msi+Gtx+650** A: Hi, yes It will, just check the compatibility list at their at the Arctic Cooling web site. HERE: http://www.arctic.ac/en/p/cooling/vga/425/accelero-l2-plus.html?c=2182You can also search another fan for your video card, at their site if you wish.I Hope that helps. **Q: Will this fan work on an 9800 gt card? The 9800 gt is not on the arctic website list, but a 9800 gtx is.** A: Old question, but I'm sure others might wonder the same. ... I got this for a PNY GeForce 9800GT and it fits perfectly! The screw holes on the farthest parts of the corners of the cooler will align with the screw holes on the card. This comes with two sets of nylon spacers that are slightly tacky so they stick in place while you're trying to screw everything together. The taller spacers work better for this card. It has pre-applied thermal paste, but I ended up wiping it off after I accidentally put the cooler on upside down, so I wiped it off and put some Arctic Silver 5 on there. Works great! ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Can be made to fit GTX 1060, works well *by B***. on 20 August 2018* 1060 isn't supported out of the box, but I took a punt, guessing that it wouldn't be hard to adapt it to fit with a little ingenuity, and I was right.

Review is with unit fitted to HD6850 Performance, slightly better than stock cooler still early to tell (3/5) Noise level vastly superior, though at full speed still audible fitting (5/5) Fitting On my unit I could only connect the fan to the PSU supply making the fan run at top speed, I had to re-use the old fan connector. I think for a product clearly marked suitable for HD6850 , an adapter would have been nice. Heatsinks These were quite easy to put on. The trick is not to put too much paste on them. (4/5) Comparison with the accelero extreme IV I use the accelero on a HD6950 and it is far superior when it comes to cooling. However it comes with a high price and more importantly its very large so only usable in small cases. This L2 plus, may not have the high end cooling but for non gaming its perfect and very quite (5/5) --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/49906869-accelero-l2-plus](https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/49906869-accelero-l2-plus) --- *Product available on Desertcart Great Britain* *Store origin: GB* *Last updated: 2026-05-01*
