Mine arrived this morning, already took a few pictures with and without the aftermarket coolers (Enzotech low profile on the SB and HR05 IFX SLI on NB, they fit just fine.
You need to be extra careful though, cause there are printed circuits EXTREMELY close to the mounting holes on the bottom of the board (i.e. around 1mm clearance ).
The HR05 comes with nice soft washers, but i think i'll add bigger ones made with electrical tape.
I'll post the pictures later in the evening.

Looking forward to them

OK, here we go with the pix:

Only HR05 SLI installed



HR05 SLI with SilenX 80x15mm fan



HR05 SLI with fan and Enzotech CNB-S1L on the SB



Same as above, another angle



Socket area, with HR05 SLI installed, for those who want to install the TRUE blowing towards the back of the case




Sorry for the picture quality, but the light was changing very fast today from bright to dark and i wasn't in the mood of closing the windows and setting up the tripod for slower shooting times or using the flash, so i just set the camera on full auto and hoped for the best.

Good stuff, so have you tried the Ultra extreme on it yet?, what kind of room is there?

Also, will the HR-05 fit on if you turn it 90 degrees anti-clockwise?

[Kelainefes]

I don't own one but i think that with the HR05 SLI it should fit easy, but maybe there could be contact with the "thing" that you fasten on the screw, don't know its name
Probably fixable with a little filing.

The HR05 SLI will fit facing towards the DDR slots no problem, and will leave enough room to operate, but you need to install the fan how i did it, on the other side it would get in the way.
And not install a fan at all, if you wanna install a TRUE with the HR05 turned that way.

Either way you cant use the first PCI Express 16x and if you install it facing towards the DDR, you probably can't use a very long card in the 1x slot, not with the fan hooked with the stock wire-clips.

Oh sorry, I thought you had bought the HR-05 so the Ultra extreme would fit on? Whats with the HR-05 then?

What cooler will you be using?

[Kelainefes]

I got a SI-128 SE, enough for my needs now, but wait, i see the TRUE 120 just went down in price mmmh... will think about it, it's still round 48 euros (more or less 32 GBP).
I bought the HR05 just to cool the NB as much as possible, and because it looks damn good, ofcourse.

[Clunk]

Ah ok....it will be interesting to see what NB temps you get then
