After removed 8800GTX IHS and installed with Thermalright HR-03




i need to also changed the direction of heat spreader, otherwise the temp will keep going up til over 80C becasue the heat pipe



idle temp @ 45C










loading temp over 20min @ 53C








about 10~20sec after loading







i removed two 8800GTX IHS but one of them shorted after i tried to solder back the loose wired.... sad

Very nice idle temps

Can you clock the 8800GTX higher with the HR-03 installed?

[eva2000]

lol nice mounting method

shame about your card

[kemo]

Looks great and performs well

But I have an off topic question
Why you left XS team in hwbot?
We need every one back

[afireinside]

The big question is: What was your max clock before and after?

[Drag]

you just apply it normal like this right?

Man... such a huge waste that Thermalright doesn't release some kind of bracket or adapter plate. I bet their sales would be so much better if it were compatible with the 8800 series. And I've never felt the outright need to cool the mem chips anyways.

very nice looking and awesome load temp drop

sorry for the lost 8800GTx ( u should have sent it to me better :P )

[Supertim0r]

taken from TR HR03 FAQs

Question 1:
Can I install HR-03 on any of the Nvidia 8800 series?

Answer:
Current adapter that comes with the HR-03 will not allow it to be installed on any of the 8800 series due to the larger GPU IHS and mounting holes being out of range. However, an adapter is in the works to fix all that.

what is vGPU at 700mhz on the core?

Nice

Too bad about the other D:

no you need to mod the square thing, make bigger holes

I have been eyeing out this cooler, and I have seen some excellent results before. That was a huge drop in temps you managed to pull there guess2098! Too bad about your other card though
What fan and what fan speeds did you use for this test?
By the way, I e-mailed Thermalright asking about mounting brackets for the 8800s, here's the answer I got:

Dear Frodin,

Yes, we will have something fitting for the 8800 series in February.
Thank you for your inquiry.

[Drag]

[LuckyNV]

are there any good air coolers fore 8800gtx yet?

just wait for the new HR03 bracket

[Vapor]

I thought Thermalright announced that they were planning to make a whole new version for the G80 after they originally said "wait for the bracket"....

[Drag]

when will it be there and how do i check if its there?

[guess2098]

both my cards died for no reason....... but not finding out it.
i am sure nothing shorted this time...

[rick_fx]
