  With today's hardware using more and more power we see that heat is forming serious issues for your pc hardware components. Aftermarket cooling companies like Thermalright come to the rescue and today we take a look at their latest heatsink designed for Geforce 8800 VGA cards.

Introduction

Madshrimps (c)


Thermalright has build up quite a reputation from back in the Atlon XP times, offering truly the best heatsink one could get at the time. Since then they've grown bigger and better by creating new heatsinks for every available market. Back in 2006 we already saw what the HR-03 is worth for Geforce 7 series VGA cards, to accommodate the increased heat output of the 8 series the engineers went back to their drawing table and came up with the 'Plus'-edition.
