Honestly speaking, jingting is quite a good chipset cooler. If I remember correctly Jing Ting was the first to use the SLI chipset cooler design and their first chipset cooler was the best when it was launched.

Jing Ting is a company formed by a thermaltake distribution company. Again, if I'm not wrong it is made by the same manufacturer for thermaltake heatsinks.

Get HR-05 SLI if the older/normal version doesnt fit, just a few ringgit difference only.

I dont think facing the IO plate will be blocked because AFAIK, the chipset cooler is taller than the standard caps.

P/s : I don't think theres a need for HR-05 on this motherboard anyway, not worth to get it on a low end board because there won't be much difference, save the money and get a better board.

Pushpin type doesnt belong to AMD, or the clip method. Its all up to the motherboard manufacturers to decide which to use, none of them "owns" a specific kind of mounting method.


Even if you get a chipset cooler, you dont need anything highend unless you plan to overclock your computer or theres something wrong with your computer. If both of those arent related to you theres no point upgrading it, no point from my point of view of course.
