Question 1

How tall are the VRM sinks that come with this? Could I get away with using thermal tape instead of the glue that comes with this?

Accepted Answer

I do not clearly remember how tall the heat sinks are, but they fit on the chips under my heat sink.

As for the thermal tape, you should be fine using that.

Question 2

This product work with a EVGA GeForce GTX 760?

Accepted Answer

The mounting might fit, however, it is likely that this cooler will not dissipate that much heat. this cooler (Accelero S1 Plus) is only rated for 120 watts TDP cards with a 120mm fan attached.

If I remember right, a GTX 760 has a TDP on the order of 160+ watts.

Question 3

Hi there. Will this work with a ASUS GTX 560 Ti card?

Accepted Answer

Possibly. I have put this cooler on a 650ti and a 650 without problems.

There are adapters that ship with this to get it onto multiple different GPU's, but the product description doesn't specifically say it's compatible with a 560 ti.

Question 4

How big is this thing after you've mounted it (width wise)?  Once mounted, obviously it will eat up the second slot space but will hog the 3rd slot as well?  I only have 2 slots left in my case so I want to make sure it fits.  Also, will the rubber/plastic part come off easily?  It looks like its going to interfere with my other cards.

Accepted Answer

With no fan it only takes up 2 slots.  If you plan on putting a fan on it, it will take up 3 slots.  Ive placed a case fan in front of my 2 S1s, Blowing accros the card lengthwise. Cools both nicely with minimal noise..  The S1 really sucks the heat off of the chip. Gets really hot but still cooler than the factory cooler mine had.  Using 2 ATI 4870 cards.

Question 5

Does this fit the GTX 580?

Accepted Answer

I don't believe so.
