Anandtech - Thermalright HR-03 GT: Heavyweight GPU Cooling

Image

Adding this bad boy doubles the thickness of the card to 3.25", but the stats speak for themselves 8) If you go for it remember that:

a) You'll need to buy a 92mm fan
b) You'll need to clean the contact surfaces with either alcohol or arctic silver cleaner

Not bad, I've got a BFG 8800GT and after an hours gaming you could fry an egg on it!

I added one of those Thermalright coolers to my previous 2900XT and it dropped the temps by about 25 degrees so they're definitely worth it, they're a pain in the arse to fit though. :smile:

Mine is like that also, so bad after an hour of Bioshock it just locks up.
