Thermalright HR-03/R600 (HD2900XT) VGA Cooler.I sold one i had on my old 2900.My case and over clock did not like the temp rise with having the heat blown inside the case instead of out.But that case did not have a lot of in take so took it of then sold my 2900.Idle temps was around 62c under load could get upto 90c to if i kept the fan speed at 60% cause it was just to loud any higher.When i put that on its idle went down to the 40's and never went above 76c under load .But my cpu temp under load went up around 7c which was to much for me hence me taking it of.But as said it was in a poor case small mid tower.PS if i left the fan at default it would always rev up to 100% and kept the temp under 90c tbh and mine was the 512 model not the 1gb think it fits both.
