Thermalright HR-03 GTX REV.A Heatpipe VGA Cooler for NVIDIA GTX 260/280 Cards VRM-HEATSINK Included
Cons:Poor VRM CoolingSize (takes up 3 slots)Fan mounting brackets
Pros:Qaulity Construction Excellent Performance Quiet Operation (with right fan) Comment:
Despite some minor weaknesses in my opinion the HR-03 GTX has proven an admiral piece of cooling hardware. Cooling any GTX 280/260 is no easy feat and Thermalright has a clear winner here. Paired with the right fan the Thermalright can not only cool your GTX280/260, but do it in almost complete silence. |
After a very frustrating first attempt at installing this on a GTX 260, I decided to forget about using the thermal tape on the heatsinks. I bought Arctic Clean and Arctic Silver thermal adhesive (can't say enough good things about these products!). The heatsinks are now permanently attached and the cooler works perfectly - and quiet, even with the required 120mm fan!
