The cooler was designed in several variations for well-known manufacturers corresponding to EVGA, ZOTAC, GAINWARD and lots of extra. The customary Heatkiller V-VGA model is designed for brief producers circuit boards, whereas the XL model was specifically tailored for playing cards such because the Zotac Trinity or Inno3d ICHill to realize optimum cooling efficiency. The HK V will probably be out there within the subsequent few days from chosen retailers in addition to immediately from Watercool’s on-line retailer, however with some delay.
“The focus of our development has always been to improve the deliverable performance.” (Rico Weber, WATERCOOL CEO, Sep.2020). This quote marked the start of the event of the brand new HEATKILLER V VGA cooler. In addition to a rise of efficiency, the main target additionally lay on enhancements in dealing with and sturdiness. The HEATKILLER VGA coolers, identified for his or her excellent workmanship, have additionally been visually enhanced.
FEATURES:
- Dual layer movement
- Refined cooling construction
- Increased movement
- Symmetrical cooling design
- Screwless cowl
- aRGB as customary
- Insulating spacers manufactured from excessive efficiency plastic (Peek)
- Stainless metal strengthened threads
- CNC minimize thermal pads
- Kryonaut thermal compound
WATERCOOL twin layer influx
The influx to the cooling construction has been utterly reworked. It now’s positioned with a vertical offset above a second stage. The inlet and outlet channels cross one another, however are spatially separated from one another. The new design permits a symmetrical association of the cooling channels. The benefit of the symmetrical design is a gradual movement via the warmth sink. Dead zones and hotspots are thus successfully averted. At the identical time the windage is diminished.
With the brand new HEATKILLER V the extraordinarily environment friendly cooling construction of the predecessor was additional refined. The enlarged cooling floor ensures exceptionally low GPU temperatures. To cut back turbulences, all cooling channels have been manufactured in a rounded design.
Screwless cowl, aRGB
With the brand new design of the HK V there are not any extra screws within the seen space, which supplies the cooler a really clear and distinctive look. The two acrylic nickel variations additionally characteristic built-in aRGB illumination. Here Watercool makes use of an LED strip with an immensely excessive density of 144LEDs per linear meter. This unusually excessive quantity was supposed to supply ample illumination.
Insulating spacers and stainless-steel strengthened threads
The expertise gained within the industrial sector introduced the high-performance artificial materials “Peek” to consideration. This materials gives 100% insulation between the cooler block and the graphics card’s circuit board. To keep away from points with the threads within the Plexiglas, Watercool inserted a sq. nut manufactured from stainless-steel.
Easy dealing with and very best warmth switch
With the Pre-cut thermal the set up has by no means been simpler earlier than. The award-winning Thermal Grizzly Kryonaut thermal paste ensures the warmth switch from the GPU to the cooler. Even the upkeep has been considered. By loosening two screws, the stainless-steel respectively aluminum bezel could be eliminated.
Announced choices:
- Backplate
- Vertical connection terminal (Plexiglas GS, Acetal)
There will probably be elective modifications for the HEATKILLER V VGA. Besides the compulsory backplate, WATERCOOL additionally considered modding with a vertical connection terminal manufactured from Plexiglas GS. The HEATKILLER V VGA is on the market in several variations for well-known producers. Besides EVGA, ZOTAC, Palit, Gainward, KFA2 there are lots of different manufacturers that produce graphics playing cards primarily based on the “manufacturer reference PCB”. The coolers…
