Hey, I just found this...

This damn thing should fit onto the VRMs. The HR-09 Type 4 has a 12mm base width and 61mm length as opposed to the HR-09 Type 1/2/3 which has a 15.5mm base width with 61mm length

Thanks i might just order one of those, in the meantime you might like to check post #19 on the link in my sig. i put up some Furmark screenies after levelling out the type2
I think the type4 would be a better match though. i suppose i could use the type2 on my mobo instead so it wont go to waste.

Now that is sexy

So you basically took those fins and thermal-glued them to the bottom of the HR-09 to give it a taller base so that you can level it on the VRMs?

Very nice temps, and exactly what I was trying to achieve with the HR-09. I knew the drop would be significant. Across the board, the drop is huge, from 17C to as much as 73C . That's significant, no wait, insane! I think this should definitely allow for some higher voltages and better clocks now. Can't wait to see more results Can you try to push your card to say 850/1150 and 875/1175 and let us know what happens?

Yes thats all correct only i didnt thermally glue the fins to the HR09 i just put a dab of OCZ freeze on each side, i didnt want to glue them until i knew whether or not it would help.

I will chage the BIOS tomorrow night and see how much i can do with it now.

My E8600 should be here on friday so i would like to compare results before it arrives.

I edited my post while you were quoting it

Anyway, looking forward to those results!
