They just use whatever fan comes with the heatsink I see nothing strange or wrong with that per se, look, when buying a car (for instance) you wouldn’t go replacing the tyres that came with the car for some race dittos, most of us anyway, but use the tyres it came with. Don’t get me wrong, I do...

Reversing the fan means that you will be pulling the hot air through the fins and directing it back towards the heat source. . Not reversing the fan would mean that hot air coming from the RAM and VRAM module/s would be pulled through the fins and out at the bottom of the case, hot air rises. Rever...

What is Lian-Li doing here?

Hi,

Perhaps you could shoot SilverSTone a mail asking them if it would be possible for you to buy one from them?, their Fortress case uses 180mm fans and even though I haven’t seen any 180mm replacement fans available at their site it could still be worth a try.

Did a search in the CPU cooling section and couldn’t find any previous posts regarding this cooler, so, I decided to put it up here.

Hi,

If you go for the HR-01 Plus don't forget to order the bolt through kit, the stock one is poor and also hampers the capability of the cooler somewhat.
