The Musashi is a beast! I had it on my old 4770. I OC it to 915/1000 and kept the card cool at a astounding 55C load! That is nearly a 25% OC! I think OC it to 1100 core @ 1.225v (didn't get a screen or anything D and my temps stayed below 60C! That right there is amazing on its own.

I'm looking at voltmodding my 4850 to be able to clock it at 875 mhz. It was done in a review I saw with the T-Rad2, but the HR-03 GT is considerably cheaper right now. If the T-Rad2 is the only cooler that'll get me that far, i'll go with that, but everyone seems to be adamant about the hr-03 GT.

And would I only put one fan or two fans on the HR-03? Would only one fit? Would I want to put two in push-pull? All details would be helpful.

guys guys guys, WHY are you all forgetting the Accelero S1 Rev 2.0? cost me less than 20 euros, makes my 4850 load under 50C, considering that thermalrights solutions cost over twice that, i think you can say you have a winner

Edit: Just looked at a gpu cooler roundup that included the T-Rad 2 and HR-03 GT, and it looks like the T-Rad 2 with fans at 1530rpm is absolutely king in every test. That looks like my best option since the Scythe Musashi doesn't have much information on it.
