I hope so.. that stock sink looks far better then using the Arctic Cooling one

Even if they overlap, because those fins run the same direction as the Accelero's fins, they could just interlace, with at worst a slight amount of bending.

If you want the actual height requirements of the AC S1, then this will help.

Go here:

Then go to the "Height restriction drawing" link.

Personally, I think it would fit, but it's just a guess.

Yea, i looked there and saw that already.. i just don't know the size of the sink. I think it will fit fine as well. Was just wondering if anyone knew for sure.

Should be fine. I had an interference with one heatpipe and a RAM heatsink on the lowest-right RAM chip, but Dremeled it a bit and it fit. The stock VRM heatsink on my card (an ATI 4870) I left in place, and it's taller than yours.

Fan runs at %100 all the time on this card (no fan control). Not that i cared as i was getting the Accelero.

I decided not to get this card so i guess i will never know if it would have cleared the sink hehe
