This is the first review I've seen, and as far as I know not a re-post.

Bah!

Conspicuously missing from the comparisons is the Masscool/Sytrin KuFormula VF1 Plus -- arguably the best VGA cooler on the market today!

This reminds me of the absence of the Tuniq Tower 120 in recent CPU cooler tests...

Sorry, but I smell a rat here! 😉

Yeah, I just looked at it a bit closer, the performance seems almost too good considering it was on a x1900.

LoL!

Thank you!!! 😉

It can be mounted two ways (facing up or down) so I don't think any CPU heatsink would get in the way. I use an Thermalright XP-120 now with the HR-03 mounted facing up and it doesn't touch. As for ramsinks, I don't use them so I don't know. The fan would blow on the ram some though depending on how you mount the heatsink

What do you mean up or down? It still comes out the same way, actually, there is only one way to install it from the looks of it.

You can have the heatsink and fan on the back of your video card (the side without the GPU) or on the front of it depending on how you set it up. It comes with 2 sets of instructions depending on what you want to do. I put mine on the back since I have a sound card below and I thought it might end up hitting that. Really though I think mounting it on the front would be better since the fan would blow straight up at the GPU.

I was using a Sytrin. It was good until I bought 7 harddrives and now there are two 120mm fans blowing all that heat right at my video card. Not to mention that cooler is pretty loud even on low (well I noticed that more before I bought all those harddrives)

I just found my original post about the Sytrin. It still is good if you don't have alot of stuff in your case:

THG has now reviewed it. Seems like a beast of a GPU cooler & an excellent performer. With the right 120mm silent fan....it could get my business.

mine does better than that review

using a nexus 92mm 1500 RPM fan on it

Edit: I wanted to note that i put my heatsink in front of the card instead of behind. it's also a pretty hard heatsink to install 🙂 but id say it was worth it....
