Thermalright HR-05-SLI, Northbridge SLI Heatsink

Due to popular demand, Thermalright has released the SLI/Crossfire version of HR-05, the HR-05-SLI. Now you don’t have to worry about not having enough space due to your video card being too close to the north bridge chipset.

With HR-05-SLI, you can enjoy the immense cooling power of this heatpipe Northbridge cooler. Like HR-05, the HR-05-SLI can cool your chipset either passively, by utilising the air around it or actively, by attaching a 70mm fan or even a 80mm fan of your choice, in accordance to your noise level preference. Either way, the HR-05-SLI performs like no other Northbridge cooler we have come across.

So if you have a SLI or Crossfire system but find the stock Northbridge cooler too noisy then fret no more because Thermalright has it covered. The HR-05-SLI can also be used on non-SLI/Crossfire systems.

Compatibility

Due to the size and unusual design of the cooler there maybe a few compatibility issues that need to be mentioned. First thing to consider is will the heatsink fit your motherboard? To help you answer this Thermalright have provided a webpage that shows compatibility information with the most popular motherboards. For more information click here. The second thing you need to consider is that if you are intending to use two graphics cards in the system the length of the graphics card can be critical. For more information click here.
