i can onli agree on the case air-flow, cause i tested this cooler like crazy, most logical explanation i can think of is the case air-flow

hmm ok...well IMO, most of high-profile cooler (HR-01, Ninja, Hyper6 for example) -- its efficiency also depending on case air-flow, it'll even better when cold air suck from front case blows through cooler and suck by exhaust fan at the back of casing...

It wont break actually it could hold the 12cm fan without problem.....

Keep it in box now .... the result is more impressive if u make it active cooling by having another fan to blow air through the heat sink.... passive cooling with exhaust fan is meant to be silence in mind..


It is quite tall as well but some how around the same as SI-120 with standard 12CM fan...

hahahaha,,,, just wait until monday and grab it man,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, ... see ur outcome soon..

It would definitely need a well air flow to keep the temperature low.... i am struggling a bit as there is only 1 intake and 1 exhaust for the entire system....

somehow HR-03 does not work well without fan blowing it ....

if only the air does not need to go through the front panel> HDD> VGA> CPU> Exhaust fan..... need very well airflow to use these babes together ....

running passively is suicide unless using low profile system ....

mmm nice


dont forget the temp reading ya.

been there, done that
already done that, put single fan, then 2 fan (using cable tie) still doesn't impress me much, onli when i open the side panel the temp will go low, till that i notice the problem came from my casing lor


why don't blow hole on the bottom of ur case to make intake fan, just a thought

it would ruined the structure as the case isn't that solid.... furthermore i have sound card that is blocking as well.....

trust me, u better get that air flow flowing in ur case right
otherwise the hr-01 would end up like stock cooler that doesn't perform well

btw, what casing u using

im using Tt amour Jr , so if i using the HR-01 , if i add a fan on the side panel , make it blowing in or blowing out better??



any suggestion? or any other gd cooler but with low noise

u using hr-01 & wanna put case fan on the side panel!!! dunno if it's fit, ask shawty, he used his ultra-120 on his thermaltake tsunami case b4 selling it & can't use the side panel case fan cause of the ultra-120 height, same goes to me when using hr-01, i have to place the side case fan outside the case

maybe u could turn the transparent window upside down, so that the case fan will be place bottom at the pci slot instead at the cpu cooler

about the case cooling & all, better visit this website, really great & help me a lot. [Link]

what happened to your coolermaster HSF? wanna sell?

Lian LI OEM casing that branded under GT ... model number is OEM-007


Who are u referring here.....

who using coolermaster here? can't spot any

wrong person i guess..

oops sorry, saw wrongly, it's a TT

what hsf is tht?

Thermalright SI-120... very nice and cool well....

anyway tried new setup .... HR-01 with CoolerMaster 12CM fan and two thermaltake 12cm fan on HR-03.

idle result so far:

X1900XT
Voltage regulator: 51c
GPU core: 41c
Temperature chip: 37c

C2D 6600: 20c

Chip set: 32

eh ,

the temperature of the CPU so low meh??
what programme u used 2 test the CPU & chipset temp??

i wonder if i use the HR-01 what will my temperature b .

im now using DS3 , e6300 ,Tt amour Jr..

Stock cooler , after OC 2 2.8 ghz. temp is around 55 C using coretemp.

im newbie here

maybe his room is air-conditioning
btw, nice temp, so f*kcing low
