Installation
Installing the Accelero Twin Turbo II is not a big deal, but it is a good idea to take your time and not rush things so that you do not create a short between a heatsink and a cap or VRM.
Staring out you must clean all of the components with a pencil eraser. This ensures that proper contact is made.
Then you mix the grey and white packes of the G1 paste. Make sure to mix it properly for about 5-minutes before you attach any heatsinks.
Give the paste a nice thin layer on each component and press on the heatsinks. Just make sure not to bump the heatsinks or they will come off very easily.
Then it comes the drying stage. I really suggest leaving it overnight to make sure everything dries properly even though it says the paste should be cured in about 5-hours. It never hurts to be safe.
After everything is dried make sure to not use any force on the heatsinks or they will come off. This is both a positive and a negative. It means you will not kill your card removing a heatsink, but it also means that they are very easy to knock off on accident if you are not careful.
Installing the actual Accelero Twin Turbo II is not too hard, just make sure to use the right spacers and take your time to install the heatsink.
It should look like this after everything is finished.
Keep in mind that the card will take up three slots after it is installed and it might even be a good idea to leave the 4th slot open or use a shorter length card so that it does not obstruct airflow into the fans.
