Packaging and Accessories


Once again we see the plain old brown Thermalright box which is perfectly functional and it protects its contents quite well. The only thing which distinguishes this box from any other package in the HR-03 series is the small HR-03 GT logo printed on one of its sides.

Thermalright’s packaging goes to prove that what they have inside is what really matters and this holds true when you see how well this cooler is protected in its benign box. The heatsink itself is first wrapped in plastic and then it is cushioned on all sides with contour-fitting foam. All of the accessories and mounting hardware are held in a small box which is pushed off to the side.


Thermalright really doesn’t skimp on the accessories and this is something else we have come to appreciate with their products. Not only do you get all of the necessary mounting hardware but you also get a blissfully full tube of thermal compound as well as a perfectly diagramed instruction manual and a sticker with the Thermalright logo on it.

The only area where I would like some additions is with the mounting hardware where Thermalright could have added a few extra rubber stoppers. The small black rubber stoppers are easily misplaced during installation and in my past experiences with Thermalright products; I have lost my fair share of them.
