Thermalright HR-03 GT: Heavyweight GPU Cooling

The HR-03 GT Kit
As we've seen in the past, Thermalright ships their coolers in plain cardboard boxes, trusting to their engineering prowess to gain them respect instead of exterior appearances. (Please note: this does not work with romantic relationships.) So what do we receive in the kit?
We get a ginormous heatsink, bracket mount, backplate, RAM sinks, fan clips, screws, caps, washers, and even a tube of good quality thermal paste, which is a nice touch. Now that we have everything unpacked, it's time to prep the video card.

As you will see in the review we did compare the Thermalright to both the stock nVidia cooler and the Sparkle fanless 8800GT cooler. The results for all three are in the performance chart on page 4.I have revised the article a bit to make it clearer that the article compares the Thermalright HR-03, the stock nVidia cooler, and the Sparkle fanless 8800GT.

It's in the name I guess, ThermalRIGHT? ;)I do wonder tho, why didnt you overclock the card and include Temps at various speeds as well?

"I do wonder tho, why didnt you overclock the card and include Temps at various speeds as well?"I was wondering the same. When someone is looking for info on such a heavy duty cooler, that should be the obvious test.
