Heatkiller waterblocks at sidewindercomputers.com!!!!

Guys the Heatkiller CPU block are now avilable at Sidewindercomputers.com!!!
http://www.sidewindercomputers.com/heatkiller1366.html

holy crap!

I hate you. If this was only posted last week when I ordered my replacement apogee gtz.

They also have the LT version in pom instead which I woulp prefer being black for about $15 less....

wow that is a nice looking block. never seen one before

Too bad they don't have the FC GPU blocks...

I'm not in love with the look, but it does perform a tiny bit better than the ek supreme (I believe from the few tests I saw)

I ordered some heatkiller blocks from aquatuning.de a week ago.

How are these supposed to perform vs Supreme LT and KL350?

& swiftech GTZ... it is also an injector class waterblock.

Does it have plasma injectors and quantum phase inverters?

no thats the KL-350.

also has a mater antimater ractor to keep your cpu cores a little cooler then other other blocks.

:rofl:

Imba Block 0_0

I haven't seen how it performs on an I7 but I think bundymania had numbers on it vs other cpu blocks....

Yeah, I think the problem with that review though was that he had a pretty low flow setup which means the testing is worthless to most of us here. Feel free to correct me though, I would love to believe the results.

i have 2 coming in from germany.... and there here before mine..

I'll take some pictures of the Lt I ordered yesterday, and then maybe skinnee can borrow it.

the lt is gorgeous.... hmmmmmm I want it... I think I will buy one when summer roles around and i get my computer back home again :)

Cant wait to see some results, the 350 and EK LT are the two I am eying. A third would be nice to compare.

I can't wait to see results on the 3 blocks also, I have been procrastinating on what new block I will get for my current build in progress....I can't seem to choose, not enough data!!

I still have my fuzion V2 jury-rigged on and I am enjoying my 2 Koolance GTX 295 blocks!!:D

The HK blocks perform well traditionally. I was using the Heatkiller 2.0 and I was impressed. If you go back and search this forum many compared the current EK Supreme's baseplate to the baseplate Watercool used in the HK 2.0 block. I'm just happy we can finally get HK gear stateside. Big "Thumbs Up" to Sidewinder!

Check out HK's 295 block.

[IMG]http://i160.photobucket.com/albums/t...HKGTX295-1.jpg[/IMG]

Looks much lighter than all Ive seen so far, what a work of art.

no standoffs. . .

Why is standoff's the new anithema?
Oh noes! I can't tighten it down with all my might.....
Every block I have owned didn't have them. My Aqua Computer block doesn't.

In the product description for the 295 block it states that special distance rings prevent over-tightening in the VRM-area. So it sounds like standoffs are included.

HK 3.0 nickel plated .. can't buy it like this.

Can anyone confirm if the block comes with a backplate and if the block works with 1/2" ID 3/4" OD Bitspower/Feser Compressions?

want these in UK!

Backplate is sold seperately and it won't work with 1/2" ID Feser compressions, it's not even close. It does work with the 45° Feser 1/2" compressions just fine though, I have it lying here in front of me :)

the copper look so thin ? :shrug:

Le Chuck. That looks very nice!
When will see more pics of your builds/worklog? I want to see that hardrive block in action. I also think you showed us a homemade-rad box once too. Keep us posted on projects :)

looks amazing! is that a normal HK3 with a nickel plated top?

Looks like compression fittings won't work on these right?

not without 45 degree adapters!!

Aquatuning.de is your friend.

Amazing store and great folks working there. Super cheap and delivery is fast :)

this makes me confused on what block i will get for the i7

(mcp655, mosfets will be cooled in the loop not to mention on a evga classfied)

this block seems good

cpu 350
heatkiller wb
apogee gtz
d-tek v2
ek supreme LT

which one to get so hard decision?

How about buying em from Watercool http://www.watercool.de/online-shop/ it's Germany (EU) so no worries.

yes it wont work with BP 1/2" or 7/16" compression fitting, only way it to use a 45 :
http://i69.photobucket.com/albums/i4...MG_01871-1.jpg
iv been using it for a week now and its grate, got it from aquatuning.de .

finally you guys over there can get this block

i still wait for mime because this dam aquaero is out of stock :mad:


and FYI: the top part on the full copper version has a clear coat so you it doesn't get stained over time :up:

Very trick block and you just can't beat German millwork and Engineering IMO.

give us a small preview, and i hope you also got the original watercool backplate!

Not sure it makes any difference, but I always like to get it right per the instructions is possible.

andyc

---

afaik away form mb

does the 1366 backplate come with those red standoffs so the backplate is flat on the motherboard backplate?

how is the mounting mechanism? it looks great on the pics!

will post some results once i get my rig done, i can't do comparisons between other blocks but with the aquaero i will be able to measure flow and water/core delta :up:

Thats a good thing! As the phobya block proved with its 1mm base, heat is transferred much quicker with a thin base.

Makes my GTZ look like a a Thermaltake block :(

Wow thats a fantastic looking block. Too bad it doesn't use the 1/2" compression fittings. I would've considered this block for my i7 build coming up. I'm still thinking of either the koolance 350 or dtek v2 though. Still would like to see the results of the block.

neither does the Dtek

i don't see the problem in not having compression fittings, 7/16" tubing on thick 1/2" fittings is just as secure as the ocmpression fittings are ;)

@mcoffey
did it come with English Manual?

I just like the cleaner look, but yeah I realise that theres no real advantage. I may still consider it though.

http://www.sidewindercomputers.com/bishsiro45bg.html If you buy a couple of these you can use your 1/2" compression fittings!

I found these on effizienzgurus.de not too long ago IIRC. They were posted by Bundymania.

Very nice! Looks like the 1/2" fittings are just a little too big though :(

Hi

I can't see any opions on Aquatuning of Sidewinder for the Nichel plated version. Did you do it yourself?

Or is it just a special "onetime" version?

Thnx

Nice job!!

Gr Yil

any updates andy?

I got my block from Sidewinders today. I really like it so far, it's aesthetically pleasing, has good instructions, great mounting mechanism, solid backplate (although optional), and fairly minimalistic.

I can't speak for the thermals but it's damn sexy.

Here are a few pictures:

Wow... I am certainly buying one of those as long it is at least as good as a GTZ.

So can my compressions fit on this waterblock?

waiting for some temp #'s is killing me! :D

I got mine this weekend...I think I might get it nickel plated since I don't have a loop to add it to at the moment while I wait for new gear to arrive :D

It's a heavy block! Very solid and nice construction. I got the backplate for it as well.

Sorry for the less than stellar pics, but the lighting wasn't great...

LT uses Delrin, so no... you can't nickel plate it.

Also... I am begging for some temp numbers. Even really sketchy ones, I am curious to see how it compares to other blocks in a high flow setup.

My guess is multiple weeks away...if the quantity of blocks is any indication. Good testing takes time :yepp:

thanks, guess i'll have to get the CU version then :) cant wait to see some more testing #s, gonna buy one at the end of this month.

Pics of the inside?

could someone open one of these up so we can see what the internals look like?

Thankee

If there are any left :P
I ordered mine friday night & should be getting it tomorrow since sidewinder is so close to my home

There are already pictures of the fin design, use google to find them.

Some internal shots in this link:

http://translate.google.com/translat...istory_state0=

To those that have them and have seen the inside what is your gut feeing on these? Better then a koolance 350?

Man I'm really thinking of buying this block now. Even if it doesn't fit 16mm compression fittings. I may just go with 1/2" barbs with 7/16 tubing.

I could've sworn I've seen some temps for this block. I'm pretty sure it did better than the koolance 350 block. I can't support this for sure, but just the other day I was reading a forum and it was comparing the koolance 350, heatkiller 3.0, ek supreme lt, and d-tek v2. I'll see if I can find it.

Yep found it, http://www.xtremesystems.org/forums/...ight=hondacity

Certainly much better looking than those FUGLY Koolance blocks.

the best block ya can get atm !

Damn! That nickel plated block looks very good. Great pictures Bundymania.

yeah and check the last picture with special version of the logo plate - only available direct at watercool.de , because you have to mount the block vertically at gigabyte S1366 Boards.

http://www.abload.de/img/cpu-wasser2zrfv.jpg

http://www.overclockingstation.de/showthread.php?t=3514

i wonder how the mounting mechanism works...that stud in between the mobo and waterblock seem i dunno...:confused:

..to bring light in the darkness -> here is the manual :D

http://www.watercool.de/_uploads/Fil...0_A5_(GER).pdf

Man, I really can't decide now, Suprem LT, K-350, HK 3.0........:(

if the race starts between those 3 little fellas, i personally would prefer the Heatkiller 3.0...the CU Version of course and than you have to nickel plate it asap :)

Hey Bundymania, I know there's a sort of treatment on the copper top to keep it shiny. Did you have to remove that before doing the nickel plating?

yep, the company where the block was nickel plated did that job for me

That's what I wanted to know. Thanks!

I've got a place here that will do it...so I guess I'll go see them for a quote.:up:

no one has any results yet??? I want one.

Well, if Bundy's results are confirmed by others the HK will pretty much take be your only real choice. Better cooling AND better flow... that is nuts.

I am curious what the results will be on a higher flow/pressure system though.

Hmm... I'd love to do a makeshift capscrew mount like this for my ek supreme.
Any ideas guys?

Looks like it's a cap screw, spring, with some type of threaded rod... not sure whats behind there or he uses a backplate.

i'll be testing this block this coming weekend ...i'll be curious how it performs against the k350 and the supremes...
