Features

•Patented multiple support pressure vault bracket system allows users to add pressure to the mounting bracket system (40 -70 lbs), and to have a more efficient and secure mounting. (1366/1156/775). •Fanless design for low-noise operation •Proprietary through holes on fins for efficient ventilation •Heatsink is all nickel plated to ensure the best quality and performance that can last for years. •Soldered heatpipes, copper base and fins, to ensure the best thermal conducting efficiency. •Six sintered heat pipe design that are all nickel plated to slow the oxidation deterioration to the heat pipes, and to ensure longer usage and better heatsink performance. •Includes 120x25mm fan clips & 140x25mm fan clips and Chill factor III thermal paste. •Convex copper base design ensures the highest thermal conducting efficiency between the CPU and the heatsink.

Specifications

•Cooler dimensions: 110x 140x160mm (LxWxH) •Cooler weight: 860g (excluding mounting bracket and fan) •Heat pipe: 6mm Sintered Heat pipes x6 units •Cooler base material: C1100 Pure Copper with Nickel plating

A lot of the features that the HR-02 holds are typical of Thermalright's design. The use of sintered heat pipes, aluminium fin construction, all copper base and nickel plating can be found across their whole range of heatsinks to increase performance, improve aesthetics and for longevity. The HR-02 has 6x 6mm heat pipes instead of 4x 8mm ones as found on the Silver Arrow so heat transfer from the base to the fins should be fairly similar. The main difference in this case being the method in which the heat is dissipated away from the sinks. The cooler also uses a tower design but its innovation comes from its asymmetrical design to cater for tall RAM heat spreaders, and the proprietary punched holes to increase ventilation efficiency. Size-wise, the 860g behemoth is much deeper than the Venomous X and wider to increase surface area due to fewer fins.
