This block looks very similar to my beloved EK Supreme.

Too be honest, I kinda like it...:D

That looks yummy for temps D: Thats a lot of surface area!

Langer got the full set sent to him for his build. Quite the builder he is!

That is one nice build...:D

[zlojack]

That block piqued my interest when I saw it in his build.

[alejo]

You guys should take a look at their 4870x2 block.

[RedRaider]

post a pic .... please

[Kayin]

ALL Heatkiller's stuff is amazing. Pure porn it is...

[alejo]

Sorry! I was posting from school on from my phone...anyway. It's their "LT" version made of delrin and copper. I wonder if they'll have a full copper variant.

[RedRaider]

Now that is sexy...:slobber:

[zlojack]

Very nice!!!

[RedRaider]

Fuck It...

I'm getting one of these...:afro:

Hello one and all... I see my reputation proceeds me. Ashamed

I've been talking a lot with Rico from Watercool the past few months.

He has actually kindly shipped me a special Heatkiller v3.0 PromtheusCU edition just yesterday - I haven't yet received it.

I asked him to send me some pictures of his shop and the manufacturing process - he's going to email those to me in the next couple days.

From what Rico tells me - the Heatkiller v3.0 is going to be a serious contender - there have been a number of improvements with this new series - and he says it's quite a lot larger and about %25 heavier.

I'll ask Rico to write me some detailed specifics on his design. And I'll offer my own opinion as soon as the block arrives in the mail (shouldn't be more than a week).

Thanks for the kind words folks, and I'm happy to have turned some of you towards Watercool products. Their gear is up and above top notch!

Here's a translated version of the Heatkiller 3.0 writeup:

The HEATKILLER ® Rev3.0 CPU sets new standards in performance, quality and ease of assembly. The development of new high-end processor cooler has been consistently on the current CPU generations.
A central Anströmung, coupled with a nozzle plate, and a very fine Kühlgeometrie, give the cooler an excellent cooling performance. The baseplate is geometrically Heatspreader to adjust and provides thus, for optimum contact with the CPU.Trotz very expensive Kühlgeometrie the flow resistance is extremely low. For the use of quad-processors, has a plug-in cooler distributor plate, the individual CPU cores will be parallel angeströmt.
A modular structure allows easy HEATKILLER Open ®, a change to a different bracket system is possible at any time and with few handles done. Holders sold separately and spare parts guarantee, even after several years, a smooth operation.

The GTX 280 block is particularly pimp in my opinion. MSI uses a Watercool block on it's 280 HydroGen. here (http://www.bit-tech.net/hardware/2008/11/25/watercooled-geforce-gtx-280-shootout/1) is a review on that card/block.

[RedRaider]

Thanks for the pictures of HeatKillers shop...:coolup:

I'm definately ordering that CPU block...:slobber:

[zlojack]

Very nice pics!

It's always fascinating to see the shops.

There seem to be some nice new blocks hitting the market.

[Linchpin]

That's a damn good looking block in my opinion, I'm still debating on which block to get for my i7 build but this will certainly be on the shortlist.

[skinnee]

I always like see the shop pictures.

[Baleful]

Thank you very much for that. This blocks look to be a real contender.

[alejo]

The block only costs 68 bucks at aquatuning.de after the 19 percent tax is taken out for people outside of Germany. Too bad it's like 50 bucks to ship.

[RedRaider]

Boy-O-Boy, I want to see these two blocks head-to-head.....:king:

I was asking WHO made the block for that when I posted the News Item Just today .... Hot shit !

[bigslappy]

I need TWO !

[HESmelaugh]

A while ago, German manufacturer Watercool announced their new CPU block, the Heatkiller 3.0.

It is available in three different versions:

HK 3.0 CU
http://www.abload.de/img/hk30_cu_775_1jqtv.jpg

HK 3.0 LT
http://www.abload.de/img/hk30_lt_775_12pkm.jpg

HK 3.0 LC
http://www.abload.de/img/hk30_lt_1366_1kn7k.jpg

Here are the characteristics of the different versions:

HK 3.0 CU
Basically the standard version and direct successor of the Heatkiller 2.5. It has a copper top and stainless steel top-plate (decorative purpouse only).

HK 3.0 LT
It is built identically to the CU version but uses POM for the top. It's slightly cheaper than the CU due to the POM.

HK 3.0 LC
LC probably stands for "Low Cost". The LC is the version with the lowest price. It does not feature the stainless steel top plate, has slightly fewer channels in the base and no midplate.


There are three mounting plates for the HK heatsinks. The mounting plates can be applied to each of the versions.

775

1366

Here's a pic of the heatsinks base:

I'll post internals as soon as I get permission from the people who made the pictures.

[HESmelaugh]

Whoops, overlooked this thread!

Thanks for moving! :up:

[bigslappy]

Any prices YET ??

[BiNGE]

Do want! :crack: Looking to replace an Swiftech GTZ on this i7.

[Chilly]

What material is the midplate? Looks like steel? Even if its stainless wouldn't that cause issues? Forgive my ignorance if I'm wrong.

[grumpy]

Thats one sexy block. Be nicer if somebody on this continent sold them.

[Xilikon]

What material is the midplate? Looks like steel? Even if its stainless wouldn't that cause issues? Forgive my ignorance if I'm wrong.

No, SS is close to Copper so it's not a problem.

Welcome grumpy :)

[Kayin]

Yeah, I chose stainless for all my mountings as well, especially with some input from Xil here. No degradation+no reactions (normally) means perfect material for this usage.

[Chilly]

No, SS is close to Copper so it's not a problem.

Welcome grumpy :)

Good to hear, I actually went and did my own research and figured out my self, but the reassurance is great!

Heres a nice graph I found during my research!
210

[HESmelaugh]

Prices in Germany:

HK 3.0 CU: 63 Euros -> 90 USD
HK 3.0 LT: 49 Euros -> 69 USD
HK 3.0 LC: 34 Euros -> 48 USD

[HESmelaugh]

Ok, here's a comparison of the CU/LT base and the LC base (pic by Bundymania):

http://www.abload.de/img/img_58926lvh3ife.jpg

As you can see, the channel density is slightly lower for the LC version.

For other internal pics, refer to the early posts in this thread (those pics are by SimonS, if I'm not mistaken).

[Gazmtk]

R3 get your ass into gear an organise a group buy :rolleyes: I think we have found a replacement for the supreme's.. and I love the look, not too blingy but not too ghetto :)

[alejo]

Watercool is making some very nice backplates for both 775 and 1366 now. I think any group buy should include some of these also:

Group BUY .....................PLZ !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[HESmelaugh]

bigslappy, see #40.

If you guys decide to group buy, it probably won't end up costing much more than those prices plus shipping. Whats the VAT in the US?
It's ridiculously high in Germany (almost 20%) and since you can buy VAT-free outside of Germany and then pay local VAT instead, you could end up paying less for the blocks than us. :)

[bigslappy]

No VAT here in US & Yes I missed that post ... My Bad !!


.. Group Buy !!

RR Get it in Gear WillYa ?

I WANT THE COPPER TOP ONES !!!

[Chilly]

Depending on price (lost my job recently :sad:) I would jump in a group buy for this.

[Septim]

very nice block... should be a good match up with an rd30 or 2xddc with tops...

[Eternalightwith]

I'm in. I want the Copper one with the AMD bracket.

David

Can you find out if the AMD bracket is for AM2+ mounting specs ?

[HESmelaugh]

AM2+ and AM2 are identical mounting specs AFAIK.

Its definitely AM2.

[Langer]

The block will work just fine with AM2+

In fact... I'm off to the post office in about 10mins to pick up my custom - "PrometheusCU edition Heatkiller r3.0" for my AM2+ board.

[breezyjr]

I'd be in for a group buy.... if it can be arranged relatively quickly.. ie. within the next month.

As an aside... @Langer.... looks like you're using H2O cooling for memory, what are you using????

I keep think about doing it, just because I can, but want something good, I think I've only found a version by FUFUFUFUFUFUFUFU and the OCZ flex memory (which wouldn't work well with an I7 X58 board with tri channel memory)....

Just wondering what you're using....

RedRaider Technology Store will be sending PM's next week to those who have showed interest.

[Langer]

I'm using a Mips Computer waterblock on the ram. This too is a custom job - the cooler is called the RAM FREEZER 4 and initially I didn't have enough length to cool my Dominator ram (because the naked Dominator has added PCB height for cooling). After negotiating a sponsorship, I asked them if they could redesign the block for Dominator support - they obliged and now offer this design in their store.

There is a link to mips in my sig.

Here's the ram courtesy of Corsair - note the extra bit at the top:

Ready... Set... FIGHT!

In all seriousness, I wonder how close it will be as we all know with enough flow/pressure the EK is the best, so I wonder if the heatkiller 3.0 will... Kill it :p

[Eternalightwith]

Also, is this a group buy for the CPU block only?

I might be interested in buy a NB and/or mosfet block as well.

RedRaider Technology Store will be sending PM's next week to those who have showed interest.

[alejo]

Put me in for 1 CPU block.

[mcoffey]

Ready... Set... FIGHT!

In all seriousness, I wonder how close it will be as we all know with enough flow/pressure the EK is the best, so I wonder if the heatkiller 3.0 will... Kill it :p

I'll buy one and throw it on the bench against the EK on several different CPU's. Should be interesting given the hype.

Make your mind up quick. Give me model #'s. Will only get what you buy.

[Eternalightwith]

I want a mosfet WB for the ASUS M3A79-T. Anyone with the board know the total mosfet bank length?

Edit: Langer I think our boards are pretty much similar, what's the length of the mosfet bank?

[bigslappy]

RR = 2 Copper 775 CPU blocks any idea what the price gonna be shipped ??

Here's the sizing:

Thanks Langer.
Changed my mind. Going with a FUFUFUFUFUFUFUFU Mosfet block, but it still helped me out to figure out what heatplate I needed to get.

Dave.

[breezyjr]

I'll take a copper block as well.

[Langer]

I could have called those results... come to think of it, I did.

The EK and the HK3 are very similar in design; the HK3, however, just has 'more' of everything (grooves, flow, weight, etc). It makes sense that it should be the victor!

[Sniper]

Bravo to the Victor then I guess eh haha.

[froze]

Does the block come with the 1366 backplate or it's a separate order?

sidewinder doesn't carry it...

aquatuning.de is.....

I ordered for all the people who said they wanted one. If anyone backs out, they will not be allowed in any future RedRaider Technology Store Purchases...:fact:

This is a little more involved than some here believe. It takes time and coordination, not to mention the language barrier...:shake: I am obtaining them directly from HeatKiller...

Thanks Red. I appreciate the efforts!

My experiences with Watercool haven't been the most expedited either Red, but they are a meticulous company who will ensure the best results and satisfaction for us all.

And no-one at Watercool speaks fluent English - which tends to complicate phone-calls as my German is heavily-broken at best.

They're great guys though for sure. They're pretty much in touch with the community, so much that they're asking for the communities wishes before designing a product (was the case with the HK 3.0 and is the case for the next revision of their 9x120mm/9x140mm (!) radiator).

The fact they can't speak English (you know that better than me probably, I tend to talk to them in German ;)) all that well is probably what has kept them from having a US distributor.

And aquatuning.de is the largest German (European?) watercooling mailorder. I'm getting a HK 3.0 as well as soon as their 12% discount on everything special kicks in on 22nd February :)

Welcome Nickel020, great to have you here. Wow, a 9x rad... holyshit that's freaking massive. Would love to see a MM case custom built to house 4-5 of these.

And we'd like to have that rig crunching for us as well... hehe... monster rig, monster OCed, monster points...

This is their current 9x120mm radiator btw (Mo-Ra = Monster Radiator :D):

And you need this to mount the fans:

With that thing and 9 fans at 120mm you get temp delta air-water of less than 2C ona CPU only loop :D I'm only using it with 5 fans though.

I always wondered why Watercool has no US distributor, the Mo-Ra seems perfect for you guys in the US where people put 2 Thermochills in one case ;)

No problem :)

The shop is OK. I had some issues RMAing my XSPC Laing top (was one with the crooked threads) a while back (I made a 300$ order) which pissed me off. It took quite a few emails with them telling me there's no cause for RMA but they eventually agreed to exchange it for a Watercool top and I'm ordering from them again. Many people are reporting good RMA service otherwise, maybe my guy just had a bad day and didn't want to back off from his original statement or something.
