Anyone actually install the HR-03GTX yet?

I shall. Looks like this heatsink with the copper sinks, fan(s) etc. with shipping and taxes is going to be over $250 A lot of people would question spending that much to cool a 280 but a good water-cooling system, block and sinks would still cost me a lot more. Regardless, I have committed myself to it.

The GTX285 will be a big boost for you. An early report at Expreview had it at about 10% faster than the 280 at stock clocks. I haven't found any pricing information on it yet, the Expreview preview of it has mysteriously disappeared from the web, probably due to Nvidia NDA clampdowns until it's released.

However, I hope it will be reasonable in cost at release. As for the GTX280, you can get a good deal on one now, I have seen it as low as $349 with a mir. But the 285 should run cooler with the 55mm technology. As for the HR-03 GTX fitting, I don't know, but Thermalright will surely come out with some version for it

Retro,

Any updates on this. I got my 285 and I am looking at temps in the low 80s under load. The stock fan is pretty loud at 65% and up so I am looking for another option.

Here is a link to how I had to mod my HR-03GT.
