I can look into doing it tomorrow possibly. I dont have the old switch or anything but i cant explain it the best i can, but for now ill explain it shortly.
i took the green and white wires from the new set, which were attached to an led for the "power led", and wired them to the anti vandal...
I did this to mine as well. i just bought the anti vandal switch and a spare power button with wires on aliexpress. took the wires off the power button and wired it up to the new power switch. pretty straight forward. you can see it at the end of this album https://imgur.com/a/jWjI6
you can use the dark rock with a backplate gpu, and the hdd caddy. and it doesnt cause gpu sag for me, it just touches it, doesnt really push down on it.

my mobo is a asus p8z77-i deluxe/wd
that is! i got mine for like $75 and it was well worth it. Kinda a pain to get in, I'd advise doing it outside of the case and installing the motherboard with the cooler already on. It is easy to try a couple configs before you put the thermal paste on this way too.
also if you want to hook...
welp. i changed my graphics card for the 5th time ever in this case, and the middle gpu screw hole stripped... im delicate with all my things, was screwing this in super gentle because ive heard about threads stripping, 3 small metal rings fell out of the hole. I can only assume these were the...
thats what i have in my setup and it works phenomenally! idle temps are 25-35 for both and load temps are between 50-60 for both. its also nearly silent at load.

works well enough. I was going to get the 3m because i imagine itd be better but it was going to be like a 3 day delay waiting for it. the...
Bought some thermal tape instead of the glue. I plan on using this with my next gpu i get too so i wanted to be able to remove it and attach the founders cooler again and sell it. 3m makes some but i got BCP 15mm x 25m roll for like $13. Works perfectly except on the tiny chips that have there...
New setup is SILENT! loudest part is the HDD. Highly highly recommend an Accelero Xtreme III with fans exhausting.
old
IDLE: CPU 40c - GPU 44c
LOAD: CPU 62c - GPU 76c
new
IDLE: CPU 30c - GPU 28c
LOAD: CPU 52c - GPU 51c
I was having the same noise issue with my founders cooler 970. It was loud and was hitting 75-80 when stressing. I just bought the Accelero Xtreme III, WOWOWOWOWOW.
Went from idling at 35-45c to idling at 26-30c. 100% load went from an extremely loud 76c to 50c and silent at 26% fans speeds...
Has anyone installed the Accelero III on a founders blower cooler 970? Need a bit of help with the small heatsinks
Do the 3 tiny black chips near the center screw hole need a heatsink? There are thermal pads on the original cooler but they were barely touching a corner of them.
And do the...
Good to know thanks. I am leaning towards the GTs or the original F12s, both PWM, debating getting them for my Dark Rock TF too. I will definitely try it out with my SP120s first though. A little noise shouldn't be a huge bother because i'm using a founders blower card at the moment haha.
Also...
So I think i decided im going to hold off on the new GPU and get the Accelero III for my 970. I will wait to upgrade the GPU until I get a new monitor later on towards the end of the year, and then switch the Accelero over to the new card.
What fans would be best under the Accelero III...
i would be interested to see what your results are in changing the bottom fans to exhaust. I am thinking about getting it because i dont like the noise off my ref 970
What is the best 1070 that can accept the Accelero III?
I am looking to upgrade from my 970 and use the Accelero III but unsure if i should just buy the founder edition, a better card that can OC well/more power etc, or a cheaper card than founders with a plastic blower (as long as it isnt a...
oof that does seem like a huge headache, good to know thanks! I do recall looking for extensions to move my gpu 1 slot lower in my M1 but decided against it because of the price for quality ones, which definitely makes sense in the grand scheme of mass production. I would still be curious what...
Cool thanks! I feel like id want to get those, or some other larger feet. any reason cases like this dont have the gpu facing up? just because the extension would be longer? seems like itd make a lot more sense and you can still section off the case
is there a reason for these style cases to not have the graphics card fans pointing up in the same direction as the cpu cooler? other than the extender length?
you could still wall off/separate the compartments and it seems like it would allow better airflow for the graphics card when sitting...
just found out about this case and it looks awesome! I have been looking for a new flat case like this that fill a full graphics card, as the s4 mini doesnt and the ncase steam machine style design wont either. If i wanted to lay this horizontal does it come with feet? or are those in this...
Necere that looks awesome! What if you perforated the top above the psu you it could intake air from outside? kind of how the top of the M1 looks, but it would be the psu fan facing up?
Would it be possible to do the split design for that layout, so that the gpu is on the other side? that way...
glad to hear you got it to work! it didnt fit that way on mine or i would have done that as well. How is the sound with the Accelero? I am wanting to either get it for my reference 970 or get a new card with it. Does the Accelero fit on any card or just ref/founders?
On the top heatsink, the tips/ends that stick out, they touch against the backplate on the gpu. And yes Qrash's post is quite helpful! it took me several tries to figure out the orientation i wanted and this seemed like the best. been going strong for about a year almost.
Had the same ram issue with my Dark Rock TF. I had the pipes point down towards the gpu. It doesnt touch anything else but the backplate on the gpu and it fits like a glove. This is on the p8z77i deluxe.
DAM i missed that deal... Does this fit with most cards or just reference? I am thinking about getting a new card to replace my 970 soon, but want to put this on it, just not sure what it will be yet
Has anyone put an Arctic Accelero Xtreme on a 1070? I am trying to decide between the best blower, or the best 1070 i can fit with the accelero xtreme. Any help would be much appreciated!
yeahhh it definitely should lol. my sf600 fan starts up about 5-10 min after boot no matter what im doing. it is silent after that though, i have never heard it while idle or load, my cpu and gpu are definitely louder
That is a nice card! But yeah im putting the accelero cooler on it so id feel bad going with that and just tear that cooler off, even though i would love the OC. Might just get the cheapest good card, like the aero
I will probably be getting a 1070 to replace my 970. What would be the best card to get (as in power, OC potential etc) if I was to remove the cooler and add the accelero III with 2 fans under?
