“Arctic Cooling’s Turbo Module fan kit may not be the most attractive product to come down the pike, but when combined with the excellent Accelero passive cooler, you’ll have a very nearly silent VGA cooler with excellent performance at a very affordable price.”Here are some more Graphics Card articles from around the web:

Function trumping form
The Arctic Cooling Accelero Turbo Module will appeal to a certain type of enthusiast; those who want a rig that is impressive for what it can do, not how it looks. If you drop by Tweaknews you can see why they describe it as not terribly attractive, a giant heatsink obscuring any view of your graphics card and a pair of fans that look like they’ve been attached with twist ties. If you really do care about more about function, all you will see is a 20C+ temperature drop for $10 while reducing noise; assuming you have picked up the $20 Accelero that these Turbo fans attach to.
