Separately sold optional accessories like backplates and a vertical port terminal further improve the value of the new HEATKILLER® V platform. Vertical port terminal, both from POM and acrylic.The pads can be easily removed without tearing. CNC cut thermal pads provide cooling for RAM and voltage regulation. The acclaimed Kryonaut thermal paste from Thermal Grizzly guarantees perfect contact between block and GPU die. The versions with nickel-plated coldplate and acrylic top also come with integrated aRGB illumination to perfectly integrate the GPU block into an existing illumination concept.

The symmetrical flow channel layout gives the block an absolutely unique look and sets it off from any other water block. The screwless top makes the HEATKILLER® V look like it's made from one piece. With all the technical innovations also come new design choices. newly developed standoffs made from an industrial-grade high-performance plastic (PEEK) isolate the massive 10mm copper block perfectly from the PCB. Symmetrical, wide flow channels reduce dead spots (standing liquid) to the absolute minimum and improve not only the flow rate, but also the cooling performance. This improves the flow rate of the HEATKILLER® V block by over 30% compared to its predecessor. The innovative dual-layer flow path layout distributes the coolant on two parallel layers. The cold plate is milled from a solid piece of 99% pure electrolytic copper and makes perfect contact to all relevant components. 'Our development always focused on improving the cooling performance.' (Rico Weber, WATERCOOL CEO, Sep.2020)īy raising the number of cooling fins directly above the DIE, we improved the cooling performance in this most critical area. Isolating standoffs made from high-performance plastic (PEEK).Improvements over the highly acclaimed predecessor: Our new FTW3 cooling block combines all the knowledge and experience we have gathered with the HEATKILLER V generation and combines it all in an incredibly beautiful and elegant package. In the end, it wasn't quite that bad with our FTW3 cooler because after all we 'only' needed 1 year longer and the result is definitely worth seeing. Some of you might remember the drama behind Duke Nukem Forever.
