    I have not finished the HR-03GTX project yet. I do have one now though!
    As I suspected, the supplied vrm cooling "plate" looks rather useless for any real cooling. The rest of the sinks are the usual lightweight aluminum with not much fin area. As for the GPU cooler, it looks great like the other HR-03 series heatsinks are. It apparently works quite well from what I have read, but the rest of the parts....bleh
    I want to do this project right, as far as my own warped ideas go. As mentioned, I have a pack each of Ezotech copper ram sinks, regular and low profile. I don't have the mosfet sinks yet. Also, I am going to replace the other chip sink with something better, I am considering trying an Enzotech copper nb sink, or possibly an Xigmatec Porter nb cooler, as crazy as that may sound
    Then I want to tie two 120mm fans together to cover most of the card.
    So I have to order in the remaining parts before I tear off the stock shroud and heatsink and start scrubbing off the factory chewing gum from the 280. I hope to have the remaining parts in a week or two once I recover from Xmas expenses
    I am surprised that there have been so few reviews so far on the HR-03GTX or anyone else modding one up yet
