    Hi guys, I could be interested for my 17 R4 (6820hk+gtx1080). I'm from Italy so all depends on the price and the shipment. Thank you!

    Has it been tested to see what the thermals are like?

    I went ahead and just bought it anyways I figured what the heck I got my R5 as a display model at Best Buy for 600 bucks 1080 so figured I just take a chance

    Thank you for taking the time to get this built

    I hope for an R4 version in the future, but thanks for this heatsink and the amazing job done!

    You could buy the heatsink, and drill a hole yourself. Just make sure the Thread of the screw is not interfering with the copper of the heatsink, so it will only be tightened on the mobo itself, not in the heatsink.
    The only major difference between the R4 and R5 heatsinks are the position of the top screw located on the CPU side.
