Thermalright HR-05 Northbridge Cooler
Conclusion
Published: 9th February 2007 | Source: SpecialTech | Price: |
Thermalright have managed to impress me once again with their excellent heatpipe cooling solutions. The Thermalright HR-05 is a great solution for several groups of people:
* The quiet computing enthusiast
* HTPC/Media PC owners
* Hardcore Enthusiasts
The fact that the cooler fits a huge range of motherboards and is also available in an SLI version as well makes the Thermalright HR-05 very versatile.
Recommended e-tailers:
£14 inc VAT @ SpecialTech non-SLI version
£17 @ SpecialTech - SLI version
From these awesome prices the Thermalright HR-05 is a big winner on the price front too.
I will not hesitate to give the Thermalright HR-05 the coveted OC3D "Editors Choice" Award, as well as the "Value For Money" Award. A top-notch product.

awesome review as always kemp, we all know ur busy, would be pretty cool to see what temps would be with a fan on it.
Also like you pointed out it is beautifully made (especially compared to other finned Chipset coolers).
Thermalright spare no expense when creating their heatsinks, they are definitely of the highest quality without question.
