GTX280 & GTX260 Cooling - HR-03 GTX
- Thread starter Deluxe1
- Start date
Weighs a ton and has dual 100mm fans - can't be too bad
Only 2 heat pipes compared to HR-03 GT with 6 and those 100mm fans are very low cfm.
Would love to see some review though. Might be good

I got to agree with Iraklis.
I don't really like the idea of any solution which dumps the heat off into your case no matter how effective it is at cooling The Gpu.
What ever happened to the artic cooling soloutions that use to be available for the ati and nvidia cards where it was a dual slot design and you replaced the stock cooling setup.
I thought that was a great solution as I use to use one with my old 7800gt. Quieter than stock and also use to drop the temp without increasing internal case temps.
I think their would be a big market for these kind of designs espcially with the highish operating temps for cards such as the 4870 and 260/280 cards etc.

That scythe looks ok you can replace it with 120mm fans also, just looks like a massive slab of heatsink and 2 whopping big fans too keep it cool, should be better cooling and much more silent then the current soloutions.
Its such a shame ATI/Nvidia offer such bad cooling/noisy fans lately (during gaming) you would think its cheaper and easier too have better soloutions.
