actually, those temperatures are not too bad.
i remember mine being higher when i had my 1900XTX at full fan speed

if i am not mistaken ... the load temperature is somewhere around before the cooler and dual fan:

Load:
Voltage Regulator 85c
GPU Core 82c
Temperature Chip 65c

Load (HR-03 + dual 12cm fan):
Voltage Regulator 65c
GPU Core 57c
Temperature Chip 47c

Woot!!!
Look at those temperature differences, 9degrees better than the stock heatsink...
The HR-03 is proven to be the best of the best!!

Guys, what are you waiting for, get the superb design of the Thermalright HR-03

Look for no other than the Thermalright HR-03 VGA Cooler...

Even the Zalman Fatal1ty FS-V9 @ Sytrin Kuformula VF-1 Plus can't beat the performance of the Thermalright HR-03

and how about TR V-1 Ultra?? is HR-03 is better than this??

As a matter of fact: Yes...

V1 - Ultra uses 3 heatpipes, plus, the cooling area is not large compared to HR-03

HR-03 uses 4 heatpipes, and the cooling area is much much larger compared to V1 Ultra

HR-03 is damn good.. but i no money to have it.. .sad... >_<

HR!!! is way better than V-1 Ultra, plus the design perfect for those using CrossFire @ SLI, but one cons that most ppl hate it but love to get it, it's compatible issue

yup...
plan to buy HR-03 thermalright VGA cooler......this is the best in the world now at the moment...using with fan will give much much better cooling.
but it cannot fit into my X850 XT AGP ...only PCI-E..

lol....it happends....neway u can get a tec card now days even..crazy i tell u...have u guys seen the review of it in hwm? the gecube fz x1950... pg 114...check it out....

p/s the purple fan looks kinda gay to me though....

Heya guys, I've an ancient 9600 pro lying around mainly because the fan died out. I was wondering if there's any cheap replacement heatsink I could use?

I wanted CM coolviva but sadly not enough clearance. Any other recommendation? No overclocking or whatsoever intended.

Thermalright HR-03!!!

Heu heu heu...

hey dude, try styrin, thats very good and the price is pretty affordable

dude, i think thats overkill ><

maybe u can try some cap ayam gpu heatsink which cost around rm20-rm30.
i've found a nice heatsink but it is designed for 9800 series. not sure if it will fit your 9600.

ah, and 1 more thing..my friend got a arctic cooling vga silencer rev.3 just lying on his rack. i'll ask him if he want to sell it..but that is, if u want it la..

Overkill >_<.

That artic silencer rev3... does it fit on 9600? I've check on their website and that only fits on 9800.

Any other recommendation? coolviva is nice...but due to my tall NB heatsink.. i can't install it -___-

new CM coolviva vga cooler

hehehe, u gonna bulk on it

c'mon, c'mon, pics, pics , pics

the design aso like AC accelero so performance should be equal

hopefully, if the fin density is diff then,, the results will be diff :'(
