Also, if you plan on OC'ing your GPU you'll run into problems with the VF1000. After installing mine I kept getting freezes in games until I backed down to stock clocks--I had zero problems w/ that OC (in sig) and the HR-03+. Why spend all that money on a HS if it won't allow you to overclock? Further, no offense here, the RAM sink is not worth the money. Get some copper sinks instead and bend the fins for clearance.

hmmmm i did not notice slower clocks with my a3 gts
stock volts 675 playing moh a for a few hrs.
with the zalman 699 24/7 np,but have not tried the hr-03.
if its the money yes its quite pricey
in sli i can slip a fan(2x90mm) under the bottom card now which i cuold not do with stock h/s.
i think it pays off with good temps at higher volts(1.48)load no where near 75c like stock fan,(66)and seems to have much better post load temp back down.
but heatsink reveiws are all about amb temps so....two or three c differance means alot to out come.

BTW it looks smoking hot on the black pbc...i know looks are not everything

Yes, a 92mm.

thx George :)

No ,now I'm using the sinks from HR-03 Plus

Is this some kind of extension to carry the heat out from the IHS?any improvement?

not bad for that 92mm fan :) but i have something better than Globe Fan

it will be nice to see Zalman + San Ace vs HR-03 Plus + San Ace :)

the chipset guide(in pic) has to be removed to install rhs,so it acts as a few things.
cooler and rhs is nice fit,like a glove,witch may help spread the heat

i have not tried without rhs, had not good e-nuff heatsinks

yeah that would be nice hr-03 +fan vs zf 1000 +fan

Well, I don't think any of us are surprised. HR-03's a wonderful cooler...you just have to make room for it. :D

But you would think that it should be better than a VF900 on a GTX, because it's essentially two vf900 together kinda

to me the TT looks like two vf900's stuck together into one really long heatpipes coming from both sides. but the hr-03 are doing better than the TT and the vf1000. it doesn't look like the 1000's are doing so well. i could be using those pci slots for something rather than such a huge heatsink LOL

Dude check out this review, he cant have had the DuOrb mounted correctly, it took 19 degrees off the stock 8800GTX cooler under load

http://www.xtremecomputing.co.uk/rev...?id=380&page=6

Even the progression of the idle temps suggest it would be between the VF1000 and the HR-03 Plus

Its very easy to mount and the DuOrb is mouted correctly :)
I saw this review and then I decided to test again,the thermal paste used is not good as AS5 but it is not bad at all.

idle = 43c(room temp is 22c)
load = 92c+

the video

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CnDzV0pXoMI

the contact was good

and now HR-03 Plus + 92mm 41CFM with the same thermal paste

Then you must have bought a fritzed one, cant have minus 20 degrees on one and another cant even beat stock, doesn't make sense

yep, it doesn't make sense :( ,I don't think the heatpipes are working properly cz under heavy load the base heats very quickly and the heatpipes stays a little warm.

Now that's the same thing that happens w/ my Ultra 120 Extreme's pipes. They're barely warm @ full load. Now the HR-03 Plus' pipes go way past warm and almost hot.

I lapped the TRUE, so it probably won't be eligible for RMA either.

Just installed the Thermaltake DuOrb on my Inno3D 8800GT and idle temps are 20C lower and 28C in Crysis.. Booyeah!!!
