Just wanted to know if there's any shop in LYP that carries the HR-03 Plus. Need if quickly for my 8800. Thanks

QUOTE(sHawTY @ Jun 25 2007, 02:15 PM) RM215 Huhu. Bad news. PCZone only has HR03. Not the plus edition. Sad I'm not sure either PC-Zone does carries the HR-03 Plus or not, why don't you take a look at the bulk order section?   |

Just got a HR-03 Plus for my 8800gts. Used to idle at 58C and load at 70C+ with the stock cooler. Now it idles at 54C, but the load temp doesnt go above 58C which is nice

QUOTE(sHawTY @ Jul 15 2007, 01:02 PM) Huh? I notice that my 2D and 3D clocks are the same. I guess this is probably the problem? Btw what fan are you using? I'm using a cheapo 92mm fan So low differences in idle? My 8800GTX on stock heatsink used to run at idle 65degrees, Load 78 After changing the heatsink into HR-03 Plus, i got myself idle 45 degrees, Load 55. There's gotta be something wrong with the way you fix the HR-03 Plus on your 8800GTS dude. Check again.  This post has been edited by sleepy: Jul 15 2007, 01:04 PM |

QUOTE(sHawTY @ Jul 15 2007, 01:18 PM) My 2D & 3D is also the same, plus, i'm on vista [you know in vista ultimate with all those aero, the graphic card always process something. Hey we're using the same cheapo fan ]I'm using an Evercool 92MM fan too, the fan runs at 1800RPm [pretty slow for a 92MM fan, plus, it's silent, very the silent ]Owh, by the way, i'm using Arctic Cooling MX-1 for the thermal paste. I'm going to take out the HR-03 Plus and test it on my 8800GTS 640MB afterwards, to check the core temp on idle & on load. Don't have much money to buy two HR-03 Plus for both of my 8800GTX & 8800GTS. Can only afford one HR-03 Plus and as you already know, it's sitting nicely on the 8800GTX. You know the price of the HR-03 Plus, it's damn expensive.  I was actually looking for something better but apparently, there's only evercool to choose from  Yeah, Im using MX-1 too. Got mine for RM25 yesterday. I think probably I didnt apply enough MX-1 on the core surface. I just put abit on it and slap on the HR-03. If I were to apply evenly all over the surface, I think I'll finish the whole tube for this alone Also, my HR03 isnt installed properly. One of the thumb screw actually broke into 2 while I was bolting it to secure the hsf I'm still puzzled how this could happen, and I'm currently looking for a similar-sized screw for replacement. Meanwhile, its secured to the card with only 3 screws This has probably contributed to part of the high temps I guess *Almost forgotten. Which type of mounting style are you using? Im using the one that wraps around the card. I've read a review that says wrapping the hsf around the card will cause higher temp, while another review says otherwise  This post has been edited by sleepy: Jul 15 2007, 01:51 PM |

QUOTE(sHawTY @ Jul 15 2007, 01:57 PM) You mean you fix the heatsink in the way the fins go to the back of the graphic card or? Yep. The heatsink fins are on the back of the card You sure you want your 6600GT to run on passive mode? |

QUOTE(sHawTY @ Jul 15 2007, 02:06 PM) I'm using the same way as yours. I think the reason why my temp is higher that yours, is because of bad air flow. Initially, the fan was blowing onto the card. The fan is sitting right below the round stock intel c2d hsf. I've tried reversing the fan's position, to now suck air away from the card, and blow upwards. True enough, the idle temp dropped to 50C, and at load (running RTHDRIBL) it never go above 55C. Cool huh? That should do it. It's enough i think, since 6600GT is not as hot as 6800 series. Correct me if i'm wrong guys, my knowledge on old nVidia cards is kinda low.  Anyway, I'll give it two more days for the MX-1 to settle down and see if there's any improvement. I just reapplied it today after discovering there's a lot of air pockets between the gpu and the hsf |

QUOTE(sHawTY @ Jul 15 2007, 09:16 PM) MX-1? MX-1 is old story la boss, now we got Arctic Cooling MX-2! Hmm, I think it'll probably take some time to reach here. Btw, I've tried benching at 625/2000. Highest temp is 62C Link: http://forum.lowyat.net/topic/385461/+780#entry12473496 |
