Thermalright HR-03 Plus worth it?

Dirtypants · Nov 17, 2007

hey, so i am trying to cool down my system a lot, and so far my 8800gtx is the only thing that is above 45C. now i see ncix finally has the HR-03 Plus back in stock, and i have th HR-11 and it did lower the temps a little. is it worth the money to get the unit, and try to fit a 120 mm fan on it?

its the king of air cooling on video cards if thats what you're wondering, with a silverstone 121
fan(110cfm 40dba) you'll have the gpu very very cool.

TUngsten · Nov 17, 2007

I wouldn't really bother, you might get the temps a degree or 3 lower. 45C sounds pretty good, and you've got tons of fans in your system. But hey, why not?

And thanks for getting "Superfreak" stuck in my head.....

Dirtypants · Nov 17, 2007

well its idling above 45C, more like 55C, and i got 5 Noctua case fans, and one that is right in front of it....

panchoman · Nov 17, 2007

if you really want a lower temp then that, then go for it.

Dirtypants · Nov 17, 2007

Alright i placed my order and am getting it, also getting a another noctua fan put on that bad boy as well.... i will post pictues prob later.... if i have the time which is slim to none since 10 hour days are killer for work....

My 1950xtx went down to 37 idle and loaded in the mid/high 50's (with a 92mm Panaflo), so yes, it is very good. Just an fyi - your CPU/case temps may go up a few degrees, since the heat will not be forced out the back like the stock cooler, so you should have very good airflow inside the case to exhaust it.

Edit: saw your specs - you have lots of fans, so case/cpu temps should be fine.

Sweet thats what i like to hear.... i have been look on silentpcreview.com a lot and i have seen that a lot people have been using it, and saw on there where a guy put a 120mm fan it... so yea, want to try that out....

FreedomEclipse · Nov 18, 2007

aint your pc like a windfarm with that many fans in it??? sorry if i sound rude & i apologise for the hi-jack but im just a little curious lol

WarEagleAU · Nov 18, 2007

Should do fine. Let us know how the temps look when you get it installed

Dirtypants · Nov 18, 2007

actually naw man, the most i hear in my comp is the raptor spinning up sometimes, and the 8800 gtx fan, besides thats my comp is really silent. only time i really hear things is when gaming too, but even then can't hear it that much because of the sound system.

panchoman · Nov 18, 2007

let us know it goes once you get the hr 03

Dirtypants · Nov 18, 2007

will do for sure, it should be to my place tuesday,it is shipping from the opposite side of the country, but prob wont get to work on it till thursday when i am off

panchoman · Nov 18, 2007

we'll be waiting till then

good luck man :toast:

UPDATE:
got the Thermalright HR-03 plus on, and also attached the Noctua S-12 as well, man is it silent.... temps went down about 2-6C depending on room temps and if i open the front door on my p182. and now i hear nothing in my system.... its totally worth it if you want to silence a system with a 8800 card in it.... i will post pictures soon, i am just too tired tonight
