This product is designed for the NVIDIA GeForce 9800 GTX and Radeon HD 3870/3850 graphics cards and features a copper base, six heatpipes and aluminum fins.

The cooler ships without fans but includes mounting kits for two 92mm or one 120mm fan. The T-Rad² measures 228mm x 104mm x 24.3mm (L x W x H) and weighs 398.

More pics here

If it will also support HD4xxx graphics, then it will be a must buy hardware for me. I'm sure it will perform well like all Thermalright products.

Looks awsm, but isn't 400g gonna rip the cards to shreds?

The idea of any hi-fi system is to reproduce the source material as faithfully as possible, and to deliberately add distortion to everything you hear (due to amplifier deficiencies) because it sounds 'nice' is simply not high fidelity. If that is what you want to hear then there is no problem with that, but by adding so much additional material (by way of harmonics and intermodulation) you have a tailored sound system, not a hi-fi. - Rod Elliot, ESP

Looks pretty good. Hopefully I'm able to get the HR-03 Plus for my 8800GTS (G80). Not going to upgrade my graphics until the next ATi/Nvidia cards are at a good price, so I want to make it last

_{once upon a midnight dreary, while i pron surfed, weak and weary, over many a strange and spurious site of ' hot xxx galore'. While i clicked my fav'rite bookmark, suddenly there came a warning, and my heart was filled with mourning, mourning for my dear amour, " 'Tis not possible!", i muttered, " give me back my free hardcore!"..... quoth the server, 404.}

Good thing my case supports that long video card holder thing. Because this looks . I would go two 92mm fans just to get moar coverage though. I'm glad it supports the 4 series.

edit: too bad it doesn't fit on the 9800GX2.

Yeah, and I thought my 200g Accelero + 120mm fan was heavy... Imagine that thing with two 92-mills...

No it isnt

'by turning down the fan speed about 10%, a dual chip Nvidia graphics card will get hot enough to fry an egg. We sped up the video while the pan was heating up - this took about 15 min.'

Still doesn't sound legit. It's a ton of air in between the pan and the card.

Or they heated a pan up on the stove, and then dropped an egg in it...

EDIT: If they want to create a slightly more believable video, they should have left the egg in there from cold. Or touched the pan or something to prove it was cold.
