I have a HR-01 and I would like to install a 12cm fan on it. Is there a fan wire clip that can be purchased? What is the fan duct for and how do I use it? What is S-type clip and where do I get one?

How come I didnˆt get either one with my HR-01? Would HR-01 be able to be installed on my dual-processor motherboard? I have a HR-01-775 and I just recently switched from a LGA775 to a K8 system. I¡¦m really having a hard time removing the LGA775 adapter from the HR-01. Are there any particular ways of removing those fasteners and bracket? I’m interested in getting a HR-01 for my CPU but I’m not sure if it will be too tall for my case. How can I make sure and are there things I should know before I buy?

FAQ 1

Question :	I have a HR-01 and I would like to install a 12cm fan on it. Is there a fan wire clip that can be purchased?
Answer :	Fan wire clips are now included in all HR-01 packages. If your package doesn¡¦t include a set, mostly likely you¡¦ve purchased an earlier version. If that¡¦s the case, please contact your local retailer, or write to sales@thermalright.com

FAQ 2

Question :	What is the fan duct for and how do I use it?
Answer :	The fan duct is included HR-01 in every HR-01-K8 package. If you want maximum performance in true silence, you will need to attach this fan duct to the HR-01 and then connect the other end of the fan duct to the rear 12cm exhaust fan.

FAQ 3

Question :	What is S-type clip and where do I get one?
Answer :	S-type clip is a heatsink clip designed specifically for HR-01-K8 but can also be used on the Ultra-series. Its purpose is so that the heatsink can be rotated 90 degrees to face the rear 12cm exhaust fan to work with the fan duct for maximum performance and silent operation. The S-type heatsink clip should already be included in your HR-01-K8 package. If not, please contact your authorized Thermalright dealer, or write to support@thermalright.com

FAQ 4

Question :	I have an AMD AM2 system. Would I be able to install HR-01?
Answer :	Thermalright has developed a new retention mount called the AM2 RM. For more info, please click here.

FAQ 5

Question :	I noticed that there are orange and blue fan ducts for the HR-01. What is the difference between them? How come I didn¡¦t get either one with my HR-01?
Answer :	When the HR-01 first came out, only the 775 version was included with the blue fan duct. But the fan duct was too long to be installed on some of the LGA775 systems and was creating a force to push off the heatsink from the CPU. To solve this problem, we developed a shorter version of the fan duct, in orange. So now, two different versions of the fan duct work with different type of systems - the blue fan duct works with the K8 system, while the orange fan duct works with the LGA775 system. Depending on what resellers you purchased your HR-01 from, and what promotional sales they offer, some offer the fan duct with HR-01 while others just offer HR-01 without the fan duct but at a promotional discount. If you would like to purchase either the orange or the blue fan duct, please contact sales@thermalright.com for more info.

FAQ 6

Question :	Would HR-01 be able to be installed on my AMD dual-processor motherboard?
Answer :	Our HR-01 working with its special heatsink clip, the S-type clip is perfect for most AMD Dual-Processor boards such as the Tyan Tiger K8W s2875. You can rotate any of the two HR-01 to best fit your configuration and then strap on any 12cm fan.

FAQ 7

Question :	I have a HR-01-775 and I just recently switched from a LGA775 to a K8 system. Im really having a hard time removing the LGA775 adapter from the HR-01. Are there any particular ways of removing those fasteners and bracket?
Answer :	Please refer to below link for removal of LGA775 adapter from the HR-01-775 For HR-01-775 to work on a K8 system, you will need to purchase the S-type heatsink clip. Please contact your authorized Thermalright dealer for more information or write to sales@thermalright.com.

FAQ 8

Question :	I’minterested in getting a HR-01 for my CPU but I’mnot sure if it will be too tall for my case. How can I make sure and are there things I should know before I buy?
Answer :	HR-01’s total height is 160.5mm while most ATX Tower cases have a width of 200mm or above so in most cases, the HR-01 will fit fine. Things to watch out for are side panel funnel and fan. You might need to remove these before installing HR-01.
