Thermalright: HR-01

[nZone]

Originally I had Thermaltake Big Typhoon with Pentium D 945@3.74GHz. The temp was 44-45C idle. I reseated the heatsink many times but the results were still the same.

Finally, I decided to replace the Big Typhoon with Thermalright HR-01. My configuration is push-pull orientation (for air flow). Now the Pentium D 945@3.74GHz is idle at 29-30C.

It is an amazing result and I'm still being WOW-ed!

Nice cooler, first I've read of someone putting fans on it. If that isn't cool enough, this should push some air for ya.

hahaha LOL will that fit in my case?

Yeah the new revision has a fan clip for optional fan. I thought a passive heatsink usually doesnt like high air flow, but I notice when I put my tri-cool fan into medium setting the cpu drops 2C.

I dunno, I have the HR-01 as well. Its a good heatsink. However judging by your initial temps, it looks like you may have had it applied wrong or something. There shouldnt be that much of a temp difference. If you check benchmarks, the typhoon should have lower temps than the hr-01. I dunno, that would be my guess though. I had the scythe ninja before my HR-01 and they both had almost identical temps. I would have thought the typhoon has the lowerst temps because of how the fan blows directly down, unlike the hr-01 which blows side to side.

That was my reaction WOW! I have a Antec P180. I have the top fan @low as intake; the rear @medium as exhaust; and on the HR-01 I have a 120mm @medium as pushing.

Well I had the typhoon on my previous PD805@3.6 but the temp never over 35C. I replaced the cpu with the 945; the temp was >40C on idle. I have reseated a few times and it yielded the same results. So it could not be what I did wrong (not that I know of). I gave up because it was pain to try to remove everything just to re-seat the typhoon. When I got HR-01; I didn't think there was much a difference or probably worst. So it came as a surprise.

Typhoon was warm to the touch while HR-01 was cold to the touch (with my fingers).
