jackbrennan2008 Posted August 24, 2008 Posted August 24, 2008 (edited) Hi all, Ok i was talking about this cooler some time again but now it has finally arrived. Now before i get into this i was expecting the cooler to be worse than the TR-HR-GT-03 which i have tested here: http://www.atomicmpc.com.au/forums.asp?s=2...;t=12468&h= *Quick note - It is light as a feather, so light they dont even need a back brace for the card and I might mention this is rated at 1 sone, and one sone is 40db, but believe you me, i cant hear it at all. it is very quiet.* I was expecting greater gains over the stock cooler. which results are below, Results: Room Tempature = 26c Non Crossfire single card Idle: 41c after 30 minutes at windows desktop Load test 01: 50c after 1 hour of folding@home *30 minutes at windows desktop* Load test 02: 55-6c after 1 hour Ati Tool Crossfire Results Idle: VGA01: 50c VGA02: 48c Load: VGA01: 65c (re-applied TIM) VGA02: 47 Pictures: Top: http://i24.photobucket.com/albums/c11/smak...57/Image017.jpg Back: http://i24.photobucket.com/albums/c11/smak...57/Image018.jpg Under Fan (VRM): http://i24.photobucket.com/albums/c11/smak...57/Image019.jpg A side note, the fan actually has holes under it so it will blow air down onto the ramsinks that cover the VRM's *Smart* =D Also here is my current system layout if your interested to kind of give you all a better picture of how my temps are the way they are: http://i24.photobucket.com/albums/c11/smakme7757/Air.jpg Edited August 25, 2008 by jackbrennan2008 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It will fit no problems but the have to buy ramsinks yourself. jack Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
