I was considering the Accelero because I can get it for around $25 locally, but i havent seen any reviews on it. I'd be interested to know the answer to your question as well.

The Accelero is a very able cooler, and it really shines with a fan on it. I'd say that is your best bet, to both Newera and the OP.

to be honest, splurge on the HR-03 GT. i have one on mine and my temps NEVER go above 40c load. Its ridiculous. Or get yourself a Thermaltake Du-Orb if you can find it.. everything at that link isnt that great TBH for the price your paying. You can get one at CanadaDirect for 45 + shipping.

If you cant, the AC is the only way to go in this case since the zalman is highly overpriced, and theres nothing else on that website worth praising for.

Can the HR-03 be removed and transferred to different cards without damage?

i'm using a zalman vf-1000 with LED fan. i haven't exp any issues. idle temps at first were high, but i think it had something do with bios or software. i never really nailed it down, BUT my temps are about mid to high 30s idle and low to mid 60s under load. it never gets past 65C while gaming.
