 Today I ' ve got the Thermalright T - Rad2 for review. Thermalright is most sound known for its HR - 03 VGA cooler and Ultra 120 Extreme CPU cooler, both of which have a makeup for being some of the principal heatsinks on the marketplace. Unfortunately, the HR - 03 is large heatsink that takes three slots by itself and Thermalright has taken mark of this take cover the launch of the T - Rad2. The heatsink itself is only two slots thick, just because fraternal as the stock cooler for the HD 4870 or GTX 280. Strapping a necessary fan to the heatsink makes it three slots thick - - just as peaceable as the HR - 03 without a fan.

 The T - Rad2 has an incredibly thin and unique plot that makes factual incompatible with a few card designs. Before deciding to tenacity the card, brew sure to yes apparent Thermalright ' s ATI and NVIDIA graphics card compatibility check list to insure that your card will be effective to opportune the T - Rad2. During testing I checked some of the cards I had lying around and had a few non - reference cards that did not fit due to capacitors and chokes being moment the way of the heatpipes.
