Hey all, I was just checking out Thermalright's upcoming HR-03 GTX cooler and had an idea so I sent them this following e-mail:
Hi, I was just checking out your upcoming HR-03 GTX cooler because I am soon to be the proud owner of a GTX 260. While I like the design, it is large and with a 25mm fan it takes up a total of 3 PCI slots. I have a large case (a CM Stacker 810) and it would be nice to see a variant of this cooler that sets the cooling fin array perpendicular to and above PCI slots instead of wrapping the heatpipes 180 degrees to make the cooling fins parallel to the card. This would free up the PCI and PCI-E slots that are adjacent to the card while providing cooling and airflow to the entire PCI slot area. Some cases with large side-panel mounted fans would prove very effective with such a cooler.
Just an idea that would be easy to implement and one I would be more interested in purchasing than the HR-03 GTX.
Thank you.
If anybody here likes this idea as well, give a shout out to Thermalright so maybe they could make it. I used their tech support e-mail address as they do not have a general comments section.
