Introduction

Recently we managed to get our reviewing mitts on the Thermalright HR-05 chipset cooler, that managed to combine a low price with better-than-stock cooling, but had an awkward fan size (70mm) and fiddly mounting system.

Today I have another HR-05, but this time it’s the IFX version, similar to the IFX-14 heatsink that we also reviewed recently. The IFX range is the extreme cooling bracket, where size and weight are far from limited. Hopefully this cooler will build on the headway made by the standard HR-05.
