Type 3 has the shortest "big side" of 58mm and "short side" of 46mm. Types 1 & 2 each have "big sides" of 84mm. Type 2 has the longest "small side of 70mm while type 1 has a 61mm "small side", and type 3 has the smallest "small side" of 46mm.

I will look into what I used but I do remember the ones I used had clrearence issues with the slide on brakets around the rear mossfets so I made my own bracket from steel BBQ barb skewer with 3mm holes or through bolts from bottom. Thet fit so much snugger then ever. I had to do it first on my old ASUS A8N-SLI cause we had only the 1 ytpe to choose (the ones from my ASUS P5WDG2-WS) and had to even trim the copper base a notch to fit my bolts in.

Hope this helps, again, I will look if you dont find the right size by then.

Well what a saga. It would appear I have the type 1 versions of the HR-09 and the other two types are not available in the UK from what I can tell. I have been on to the UK distributor to see if some can be sent over from abroad... I may end up just fitting the original Asus mosfet back on by the look of it though!

Have fitted both of the NB/SB HR-05 IFX now and I am just about to fit the Ultra 120 eXtreme to the CPU. Only concern with the NB was that the base of the heatsink didn't cover the whole chip. I guess thats normal for these though?

It has given me an excuse to route the cables and have a bit of a tidy up but I just want it all back together now for the weekend!!

I thought I would try some out too. I just received (1) HR-09U L84 x W17 x H48mm, and (1) HR-09S L84 x W32.3 x H48mm from FrozenCPU. Does anybody know it these will have any mounting issues on the SE?

I will report back, on how they fit on the mobo.
