Thread: Thermalright HR-02 AMD Edition - Passive CPU Cooler

With the Thermalright HR-02 offers the innovative high-end manufacturers from Taiwan once again an outstanding, unique product. The HR-02 is a passive CPU cooler - especially for Intel LGA 1366 systems - designed. The cooler provides silent cooling * of current processors at standard clock speeds. The unique cooling capacity of the HR-02 will be achieved primarily through the innovative design of the cooling fins in conjunction with the particularly large surface area. The Finns are provided with several air holes to counteract an air dam between the Finns and the optimum air exchange at any time - whether in active or passive operation - ensure.



An oval air duct in the center of the cooler provides for controlled air turbulence within the heat sink, whereby the waste heat can be dissipated more effectively. The heat sink is oriented towards the back wall, which may cause incompatibilities in not using memory modules with high Ramsinks be built also in the use of 140 mm fans. For overclocking projects, or at higher demands on the cooling performance, as a result of unfavorable thermal conditions inside the PC case can be used to combine the cooler, each with a 120 or 140 mm fan (corresponding fan brackets are included). Here are the current offers, in particular, temperature-controlled fan Thermalright TY 140 on his specially designed for the Thermalright coolers of the latest generation of optimized design.

In the active mode in combination with low-noise fans, the cooler also provides a far superior cooling performance that approaches the performance of the VenomousX and the Silver Spirit. Also at the HR-02's ingenious, patented mounting system, which was first presented to the Venomous X is used. The specially developed for this cooler mounting kit allows a perfect adjustment of the contact pressure for each Intel processor that is installed on the HR-02. The "Pressure Vault Bracket" allows the variation of the contact pressure 40-70 lbs. Especially in view of the current six-core processors, this is a landmark innovation. The system was specially designed for the heat these processors to be master.
