You are incorrect when you state that the coolers are a two slot solution (including card).... from the picture that shows it installed in the system.... the cooler takes up two i/o slots besides the gpu slot. That is a 3 slot solution.

The new fan from an unknown manufacturer, coupled with the price drop is a bit worrying - it's very difficult to replace such a fan when it wears-out.

To bad Accelero S2 isn't as widely compatible...

I use a XFX 6800 XT AGP, and was looking to but Viva Pro, but thanks to you guys I'll buy Viva Pro SE. Moreover Xbitlabs is my most trusted review reading site. I give my first preference to you guys on all my reviewing references. Your reviews are by far most unbiased and precise. Although you guys review most of the products but still some are left. But then hey, its not your fault, the industry is so damn working harder n faster these days. My heart felt regards to all the ppl at xbitlabs.com You guys are the King makers!!

excellent review!! is it true that accelero s2 has a fan which is difficult to replace?

Its possible?
