Thermalright HR-01-775 Passive Cooler

Due to higher processor frequency enabling computers to run even moreintensive business, multimedia, and gaming applications, the LGA775 processorhas been known to generate more heat than any other processors in the CPUmarket. As any PC enthusiasts would know, stability and heat control gohand-in-hand when it comes to building a good quality PC. Intel made a valianteffort in making a semi-efficient heatsink for the LGA775 processor, but letsface it...it just does not cut it! In response to more heat generated by theCPU, the fan RPM turns up higher and higher which translates into louder andlouder noise. Can your ears bare the noise?

Thats where third-party heatsink designer/maker comes in. The challenge was tofind better solutions in cooling the scorcher in the LGA775 core, plus withminimal noise from the CPU cooling fan. Once again, Thermalright has stepped upto take that challenge and introduced the HR-01-775*. HR-01-775 is a passivetower cooler that utilizes the fan that is already installed in your computer.It works side by side with the fan duct system developed exclusively byThermalright. Basically, the fan duct connects the HR-01 to the 120mm outtakefan, thus making the heatsink serve as a portal to the wind tunnel that leads tothe outside environment of the computer, effectively pulling out hot air andcooling the HR-01 (designed with its proprietary through holes for efficientventilation) at the same time. Lab results have shown that HR-01 with the fanduct works just as efficiently and as effectively as having a 120mm heatsink faninstalled to the HR-01.
