Thermalright HR-05 Northbridge Cooler
Introduction, Packaging and Package
Published: 9th February 2007 | Source: SpecialTech | Price: |
Thermalright have an excellent reputation when it comes to making top-line air coolers.
The HR 05 is a cooler that is trying to combat the extreme temperatures that North Bridges are getting to nowadays. We take one incredibly hot ATI RD600 North Bridge and put the HR-5 to the test.
Packaging
As is usual with Thermalright products the packaging is minimal but excellent.
Whilst not "stand out" in retail stores, it will do it's job.
As you can see the inside of the box shows just how well the HR05 is packed. Plenty of foam to protect the cooler itself from the worst of couriers.
Package
The Thermalright HR-05 comes with a total package covering everything you'll need for installation:
Brackets for installation on:
ATI: Radeon Express 200, Radeon RD600
Intel: 975X, 955X, 945G, 945P, 945PL, 925X, 925XE, 915G, 915P, 865PE, 848P
nVidia: nForce4 SLI Intel Edition
SiS: SiS 656, SiS 661FX/964
VIA: P4M800, PT880 Ultra
Also included is:
* Thermalright Thermal Paste
* Instruction manual for installation on all chipset types
* Foam Padding for chipset surround
* Thermalright Sticker
All in all everything you would want to have with a North Bridge Cooler.

Nice review m8 
Another EXCELLENT review. I was really surprised when I opened the box and saw how big mine was.
I also like how they have 2 versions (straight and offset)
Also like you pointed out it is beautifully made (especially compared to other finned Chipset coolers).
