HR-01 Plus equiv/replacement on vert mounted mobo?

[ListysDad]

Need some advice please.

My pc sits just 30cm from my right rear and is quiet enough that typing is much noisier than the system - even with 5 fans and 6 hard drives squeezed into an Antec Solo

However, I've decided that I'd like a tower CPU cooler to rid myself of the CPU fan. I have enough air flow through the case as two 120mm fans blow into and over the HDs and the system fan and PSU fan take that air out. The CPU sits just behind the system fan.

I'd decided on a HR-01 Plus but that seems to be discontinued here in the UK

I was attracted to that cooler due to its high effeciency at very low voltages - should I be forced to put a fan in!

I'm concerned that a heavy beast may damage the mobo which is mounted vertically.

Advice folks please!

Hi
From what I understand the HR-01X (XEON) and the HR-01 PLUS are exactly the same, only difference being the mounting hardware they are shipped with.

I was able to find one at Scan.

Edit:
For some reason I couldn't link directly to the cooler.

Thanks Walle

Unfortunately they only have the Ultra 120 Extreme for an AMD cpu and that doesn't perform as well at low air flows.

The HR-01X is listed under Intel coolers. same cooler Listys, you just need the mounting hardware for your socket.

Classic Thermalright stunt. renaming the coolers when all that differs is the mounting hardware for the socket itself, not the actual cooler.

I've rechecked it, HR-01 Plus and HR-01X...same cooler.


Edit:
You need the Thermalright S-clip or better still, the Thermalright AMD Socket AM2 / AM3 Bolt-Thru-Kit Rev.2

So -----> the HR-01X together with the S-clip or the AMD Socket AM2 / AM3 Bolt-Thru-Kit Rev.2

...and your green to go.


I should perhaps point out that I do use the HR-01 Plus myself. for both my systems.

Thanks Walle. I've emailed Thermalright distributors in the UK to see the cost of the AMD kit. Fingers crossed!

You're welcome Listy.
