Thermalright HR-03GT and HR-11 install 8800GTS (G92)

[Jsunn]

Hello All,

I wanted to document the install of my new HR-03GT and HR-11 heatsinks from Thermalright.

They are getting installed on a EVGA (G92) 8800GTS in my U2-UFO Case. Overall the install went very well and I am very pleased with the results. So on to the pictures.



Above is a look at what I started with. I Went with the ArcticCool PWM fans because I wanted to have the fan speed controlled by RivaTuner.



Here you can see the naked card and the Thermalright Heatsinks for the RAM and other chips.



Here you can see the thermal paste I used to replace the thermal pads that came with the card. The issue I had with this, that even with the washed added to the spring screws, the stock heatsink didn't make contact with all of the memory chips. I had to file down the screw posts to get it to fit flush. As you can see, it did work pretty good and I had pretty good contact all the way around. It was a PITA.



Above you can see the heatsinks for the memory and PWM chips. The thermal tape that came with the sinks was pretty good. I only had to replace the tape on one sink because I dropped it on the table face down. It is a good idea to get some extra thermal tape just in case.
