R600 cooling

[Circaflex]

Im ditching my water setup and going back to air, looking for something to cool down the 2900. So far the best thing ive found is the HR-03 / R600 but no where to be bought? Is it not out yet? Is there something else?



**NOTE** I dont want to have to mod any cpu coolers or anythin gof that nature, just straight install.

Then I think you'll have to start looking for HR-03 :D

[ChaosMinionX]

The R600 HR-03 isnt even out yet :(

[cyberspyder]

Yep....

[zanzabar]

i thought that his's fully coper 2900 hs was one starting to get to be one of the best cooling layouts without liquid

what about shoving a high output fan over the stock one to suppercharge it untill some giant 3pci slot cooler comes out

Its starting to ship this week.

Oh nice, any dates on when it will arrive?

[SaII]

why not just take off the red plastic cover and just strap on a panaflo?

[jabtech]

I believe they arrive tomorrow... Some places may get them earlier though.

will the hr-03 realy cool better it looks like its a similar design design and the same amount of material but in an aluminum, or nickel coating

:welcome: to ati standard cooler.......unless I missed something on HIS's WWW

[Olivier]

Keep the stock and run higher fan speeds with ATI tool........at 100% you should be down 10°C from stock

The problem with HR-03 etc is cooling of the Rams.........small heatsinks stuck to them just don't cut it (remember your thermodynamic classes)

Other than that its back to Liquid and danger den..........

If you put good heatsinks on them, its fine. Dont use the crappy sinks that coem with the HR03 and its ok :up:

[G H Z]

Keep the stock cooler, hot exaust air leaves the case and thats a good thing.

I'm not sure of the R600 edition, but there's 3 chips on the 8800 GTX that have less than a 1/4 in room before the heatpipes start smacking into them. Too bad those pipes don't go up @ an angle.

No point in exhausting the air out if it's not cooling the GPU well...:shrug:

Bend them to fit :)

Haha, I saw that done, but I am not that brave. :D

any idea how high does the heat pipes protrudes? for both scenario - aka heatsink at the back, and heat sink in front

[ChaosMinionX]

Well... if you were to judge solely from the picture....that fan is 25mm thick... so around 35-50mm give or take?

[Overgloc]

Great Result Chaos!! Gonna pick one up and see if i get higher!!
