Anyone who goes this is crap deserves to buy it themselves... All the thermalright coolers are amongst the best air coolers.
Man I reckon this is quite a good idea but... how are we supposed to fit it?

Here's the compatibility list: www.thermalright.com/a_page/HR-09-MCL.htm
As long as its one of these motherboards you won't have any problems fitting the HR-09.

I would probably buy one. Even thought depends on the price.

It's a good idea, but in this case, an overkill, and it won't make your VC run any faster.

NIce to see alot of motherboard manufacturers are left off of here. Id like to see Abit supported as I would definately buy a few packages of these. I believe its around 10 bucks for a pack of 4, according to CPU magazine. Sucks though, my mobo isnt on that list.

This is a major OC asset for Pentium 4/Xeon systems

Currently, I am running a rock solid FSB233 on a FSB200 Pentium 4 Xeon system thanks in HUGE part to my own custom high frequency mosfet coolers. These HR-09's should allow even more OC. I have booted and ran for a short time at FSB245 before the heat problems started. With these sinks, I bet FSB245 would be stable! Quad pumping would mean an effective FSB of 980 on a DDR based system. With timings at 2.5-2-2-5, the result would be very competitive with the newer machines of today.

Note I've attached a couple CPUZ charts for the dual Xeon machine I am running - The mainboard is the Iwill DH800.

I don't think AMD based systems will benefit in the same way.

Really? Pray tell where can I buy these for 4/$10? The best price I have found is $19.99 each!

Finally some decent mosfet coolers.

crap doesnt support my Asus P5B which is 965 and doesnt support my Abit IN9 650i

Ill have to check my cpu magazine. I may have misquoted them ::laugh:: Either way, 10 bucks or 20 bucks isnt a bad price. Two packs is all anyone should need. Now, they just need to make them compatible to a few of our boards.

Nice, it actually has an mounting brackets and push pins. Have seen it on their site long ago, but no mention about installation and was afraid it would be some supersticky tape thingy. Still might be that too, doesn't say if it adhesive from just one side. Too many boards (cheaper ones) come without any cooling on mosfets and I'll propably use some memory heatsinks there if my future mobo doesn't have any cooling, but this looks nice too.

Now there are some motherboard out there that only have a heatsink on 3 of the phases between the rear conector and CPU, but none on the fourth. Or like in Asus P5B Deluxe 4 phases with and 4 without. Never have I understood this kind of desicion, rather have none than on half. But looks like this mobo would be the perfect one to need one.

RickyG512crap doesnt support my Asus P5B which is 965 and doesnt support my Abit IN9 650i

It does support P5B... it has the same settings as P5B deluxe. THey have just not added it on the list.

cool design.. i like this thing but it seems that my mobo would not fit for it..

HaZe303It does support P5B... it has the same settings as P5B deluxe. THey have just not added it on the list.

Nope, P5B doesn't have holes in the mosfet area, so it's not supported, because you can't mount it, even if it would fit.

Although the Striker Extreme is in the compatibility list, the short side of these coolers won't cover all the MOSFETs, and the long side won't allow installation of the pushpins into the mobo.
I guess thermal adhesive is an option?
