I got my Accelero S1 Rev.2 installed & the idle temps dropped from 76 degrees to a whopping 42 degrees. Played BIA: HH for an hour & it rose to only 47 degrees.

Congrats mate! Care to put some screenies?
Take a look at this Dudes.
Earlier today, I ran my system and the GPU's temp was 76(idle). i ran COD4 Single player, played 2 levels, for about half an hour and boom, my screen went blank. I knew at once that those "atimkdag" has crashed so I quit the game an d ran CCC. Guess what was the temperature there after 1/2 hour of gaming? Fuggin' 101 Degree Celsius!
I switched off the machine, took the card out and cleaned it. Fired up the rig and now the idle temperature is 60 degree but dunno what would be under load temp now as haven't tested yet. I know I should get a better cooler but I want to know one thing. My card is MSI R4850, its a June 2008 SKU so has single slot cooler but new SKUs have double slot cooler, so Can I claim RMA on the card now just on the basis of the temperature or does it needs to break a leg or two to qualify? If I do get the card RMAd, what are the chances of me getting the new card with the double slot cooler?

With my el sh*tty Nokia 6233 cam, No thank you.
You're in the same dilemma as I was prior to adding my after market cooler. Those temps will keep rising unless you either kill the card & RMA it or open up the heatsink & clean the dust settled on it. Blowing air around it won't help at all. Trust me, I have been through this cat-mouse game. Try claiming an RMA for excess heating. I don't know how MSI's policy works but my GeCube has a 1:1 replacement policy. If it's the same with yours then you'll get the replacement quite fast. The chances of getting a dual slot cooler would only be if they don't have the same model (single slot cooler) in stock with them.Earlier today, I ran my system and the GPU's temp was 76(idle). i ran COD4 Single player, played 2 levels, for about half an hour and boom, my screen went blank.

@redmanc: Is your card recently purchased? The idle temps are really good. No need to tweak anything with the fan speed. If you do want to try it out then set it to 45-55% which should be more than enough.

Dude I too have a measly 2MP cam of E51 but it gets the job done.With my el sh*tty Nokia 6233 cam, No thank you.

I bought the card from SMC International in Nehru Place. I dunno the RMA procedure so will appreciate if some Delhite can help. I'm also gonna put this issue at TE. BTW the cooler u've got, does it have a fan also or just heatpipes? what's the size of the fan and the price of the total thing?

Accelero S1 Rev.2 is only the heatsink. I have added a 120mm fan over it for additional cooling. But people have got pretty good drops just with the Accelero applied as well. The total cost along with shipping was Rs. 1,690.

Attached the fan by regular cable zip ties that I had got from my Corsair VX450. No idea about RMA ETA.

There will be no conflict whatsoever. All you need is a PCI-E X16 slot & that's about it.

This game is going to be one tough cookie to get it up and running as early reports have indicated only one thing, myriads of crash related issues and equally huge number of fixes to address the relative errors.
