I have mounted te R600 Thermalright passive cooler yesterday .
My thoughts :
the sapphire cooler wasn't cooling the memory at all . only 1 memorychip had a thermal print on it .
the sapphire cooler is HEAVY
Thermalright R600 has nice memory cooling chips
Thermalright R600 is not heavy at all , it is very light actually
Thermalright R600 can not keep my videocard cool , even with a 120mm blowing on it . My temps are higher stock speed (82°, than with the sapphire cooler at 860mhz core . (72°
Thermalright R600 heatsink gets extremely hot
The thermal paste provided with the thermalright cooler is really strange (light,running,sticky) when compared to Arctic silver 5 which i'm used to (thick,heavy) .
I will try asap to attach a 92mm to the heatsink , altough in the end this 92+120mm will give me more noise than the standard sapphire cooler i'm afraid
