No. VRMs temps under load will be around 110C in Crysis, 140C+ in ATITool, and 90-100 everywhere else.

They might actually be a little higher, since those are the temps I got with Enzotech copper ram sinks and a spot cool blowing right over them.

If you have the reference version with the red plate that covers the ram and vrms then it will fit under the Twin Turbo.

The only aftermarket solution that works and will fit the Twin Turbo is the VRM-R2, which even at 1.35V will keep my VRMs well below 100C.

So we are all agreed that the twin turbo is a POS ricer of a cooler right?

I am going to go play Borderlands now

Have fun.

And thanks guys. I am officially decided on an Accelero S1 and some form of a 120mm/140mm fan to go along with it.

s1 R2 is what you should get!

The ram sinks that come with the accelero cools the 4890 with max oc on mem(can't remember what I put it as), never went over 80 on load.

I recomend 2 800 rpm 120mm or a 1200 140mm fan

Also:

You want to oc the hell out of it? Get this to cool the Vrm's: http://www.zalman.co.kr/DataFile/product/ZM-RHS70_m.jpg (rh70)

Want even better/ higher oc? http://www.quietpc.com/files/images/...hs90-large.jpg (rh90)

I'll try and remember to put one up. The earliest I'll be getting the Accelero will be tomorrow, but since my local computer store doesn't have any 140mm fans (for some odd reason), I won't have the fan until it gets shipped and arrives (shouldn't be a problem with the air shipping promos though)

Well yes, of course I'm getting rev2. I should call to make sure they have a rev2 so that I don't come home with a rev1.

I don't know whether I really want the VRM heatsinks though. I just want a quieter system and to be honest, the current OC I have, though its very mild, is fine for me.

Maybe when I have a little higher budget I'll think about those VRM sinks.
