Thermalright is a name to be reckoned with in the world of PC cooling. The company
has a history of creating efficient, effective, cooling products.
Their only real objective is performance, pure and simple. Nowhere
is this illustrated more clearly than in the packaging. If you've seen one Thermalright
box, you've seen them all. It's a plain cardboard box with nothing to indicate
the contents except for the company logo on the top and the model number on
the side. Other companies fill every square inch of the outside of their packages
with color, pictures, feature lists, and ad copy. Thermalright simply
lets the product speak for itself.

The HR-01 Plus is
an updated version of the HR-01,
their first tower heatpipe cooler, which dates back a couple of years. The HR-01 was an excellent performer, and
this new version has two more heatpipes and a more secure mounting
system. It's touted as a fanless cooler, so it should perform
better in limited airflow situations, such as in the case of a silent PC. However, unlike the original HR-01, the Plus comes with wire clips for a 120mm fan, and grooves cut into the edges of the fins to accommodate the clips. This change makes it directly competitive against all other tower heatsinks, including Thermalright's own.

on fins for efficient ventilation |
Helps the heatsink take
advantage of system airflow. |
| Six heatpipes for well

Two more heatpipes than
the original HR-01. |
| Large multiple fins soldered
to copper base (nickel plated) for effective contact in transferring heat |
It and every other heatsink. |
| Light weight and easy installation |
Though 600g is nothing
to sneeze at, it's much lighter than than the Ultra-120 eXtreme. |

multi-platform mounting adapter |
Sounds good. |
