Thermalright Intros Spitfire VGA Cooler

Heh, good point, totally forgot that you could use that without a fan mounted on it with less strain on GPU. I've just never used side panel fans, as I don't like them, but with this it would make sense.

Not for extreme overclocks though, fins too tight for the side panel fan to work optimally at a distance. Some sort of push pull action could be had though if you'd mount the fan under the GPU cooler and side fan blowing on top.
If I do buy one, I'll definitely be putting a fan directly on the fin/heatpipe/surface area.

With my experiance with HR-03 if this is anything like it it won't be nesscery.

I once had just a 80mm side fan blowing on its heatpipes at it wouldn't go over 60 load at 910mhz on my core : ]

Not bad for just a side fan on the pipes :laugh:

what kind of card was it on? Which revision of the HR 03? (mostly just curious)
 
6 heatpipe version on a 3870 : ]
 
This would work really well in Antec 300... If the side fan would be blowing the heat out of the sink. :)
 
I like it. FInally some new innovation for gpu cooling. So im very pleased of TR´s new design. Hopefully it cools well too. With 6pipes it should, only thing that worries me is space requirements inside the case?

6 heat pipes on a small flip chip = LOL
 
Thermalright don't use direct touch, so the heat will get to all the heatpipes.
 
550g it's too heavy but cool
 
I have a HR-03 GT technically only 2 of the heat pipes would " touch" the GPU, Yet I have outstanding temps : ]
