Anyone with a HR-03GT (HD4850) on a Gigabyte UD3P???

With my 4850 reaching 90C on stock cooler when running Crysis benchmark, am looking at aftermarket coolers and the HR-03 GT is one I'm considering highly. I have the UD3P board and would like to hear from users of both the UD3P and HR-03 GT if they have any fitment issues when the HR-03 is mounted behind the 4850.

Thanks

Am hoping to order the HR-03 soon and attempt to go fanless. My case, Raidmax Sagitta has an 80mm fan right above the CPU hsf but am going to close that off and make another hole for a 120mm filtered fan that will blow directly on the HR-03 and possibly on the NB.

Will the HR-03 clear the NB - that's my only concern.

It might be hard to find that exact combination. Look around for reviews of the cooler and check the motherboards they used...then compare to your m/b. Short of testing yourself that might be the best you can do. And IIRC, you can mount the HR-03 in 2 configurations if you have room...one of the orientations won't go near the NB but it will take up like 3 of your expansion slots I think.

Thanks. Yeah, I realized my question might be a shot in the dark. I may just have to order it and eyeball the install before committing to it.
