Heatkiller waterblocks at sidewindercomputers.com!!!!

[DeanB]

Mind sending me a picture or two of the problems?

Can't wait for your testing, Hondacity.

I received a Koolance 350 last week ... I was just a bit underwhelmed by the finish on this block - on the top plate, in particular. Picky, I know

[inonefly]

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

Hi bundymania, do u know how/what they did to remove the copper treatment before nickel plating? I'll have to check it with my local nickel plate shop see if they can do that. too bad i cant buy it directly from watercool.de

[generics_user]

afaik it's just a clear layer of paint, but the easiest way to know for sure is to drop an e-mail to watercool.de

most of the time they reply within a few hours

If you find out can you post here? After seeing that I am pretty sure more than a few people will be interested in nickel plating.

Every time someone posts something new and the thread moves to the top I get all excited looking for some #'s. Nice to see it is on a bench now! This thread is like crack.

[lazy]

wow that pump set-up is awesome mcoffey, what is the gain in using it like that>?

[Metric]

the best block ya can get atm !

Nice nickel plating

I plan on doing the same thing this summer, but in black chrome

When is sidewinder going to get the GPU heatkillers???

Also what happened to the real silver plated bitspower fittings?! Now all there seems to be is this stupid "shining silver" which is not actually real silver at all...

[generics_user]

Considerable,

I'm using it on a i7 bench rig with KL350 block, and 2 gtx 295's with DD blocks. All the flow you need and plenty more. I really like those pump set ups, and I'll be replacing the ones in my rad box with them.

Very strong flow rate, and I can't get over how tuff they look. Pumps can probably run 5 years like that with the EL v2 tops.

Anyways, still haven't gotten around to swapping out the KL 350 with the HK3. Been having to much fun benching the dual GTX 295's.

well there are alot of people with dual 295s but no one with your testing experience and both waterblocks

just think about it

[Taylor01]

I don't know if you guys know this yet or not but www.performance-pcs.com has them and the GPU blocks and rads.!

[msimax]

i ordered 2 4870x2 blocks last nite to go on my chiller

[Camaroz06]

I've always liked tubed rads for some reason, and this is the first one that's designed well enough to suit my needs. At least appears so, so I ordered me one of those bad boys Should kick some serious ass on the MC bench

thanks for the heads up,

How would I even try to integrate this into my case? I sorta want it...Guess it would have to piggyback (really piggyside)

You´re right more like piggyside depend on your taste. I used to use that radiator before with socket 939. It can run passively with stock x2 3800 + nb + older generation of GC.
On oc system it need some fans or just put single huge fans othwerwise it get warmer passively and the temperature increase rapidly. It has dense fins desity though.

actually it's supposed to be mounted on the side

maybe a MM pedestal on top of a MM case can give this rad a home

Or on the top of a Lian Li PC-343B

To anyone that purchases the MO-RA2, enjoy your 78 feet of 6mm I.D. copper tubing.

it's 3x parallel and not much more restrictive than 3 normal rads in series so total id is 18mm

I realize that it's 3x parallel, that doesn't matter. It's still 78 total feet of tubing the water has to slug through....and I haven't even mentioned the 60 180º bends yet...hmm, just did. I think the reason these rads "aren't restrictive" is because no ones properly flow tested them yet. Most of the Euros that use this rad love low flow and run their pumps @ anything but full pressure and even when they do, it's not a very high pressure type pump.

[Mabyboi]

Absolutely beautiful blocks, does anyone know if their GPU block for the gtx 260 will fit the 55nm version? or if they will be making one?

[BringerOdeath]

If I but the copper version of the heatkiller, can anyone have it nickel plated for me? If so I would get the normal one and how much would it cost? I will send it to whomever can have it done for me cheapest LOL!!

[nebuchanezzar]

Are you guys done....YET???


I'm waiting for results here. Now quite yer clickety clickety, and start benching ASAP!...

Just kidding...

The block looks like good supreme competition, and I've always had a soft spot for all metal/copper construction. That's one thing I really liked about the Stinger V8 and Enzotech blocks. Delrin/acetal works, but there's just something about an all metal block that spews durability/quality/I mean business.

We just need some high flow dedicated loop DDC with top or D5 performance type of testing....

Carry on with the goodnes..
Take it easy and have fun, and looking forward to some more results..

I have mine setup finally. Still looking forward to a test with a "real" flowrate . Very impressed with it though. My first glance I didn't think the bottom was in the greatest of condition but it's fine. It's not lapped mirror smooth like some blocks though so there may even be room for some improvement with a lapping job. I'm too lazy to do it myself but I expect to see some other posting mirror shine blocks eventually

[NaeKuh]

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.

WTF did the TESTER throw his NB and MOSFET ON THE BED WHILE TESTING?!?!?!

Sorry to say i dont really trust you guys nor have faith in your methodology when it comes to testing.
Wheres the Ambients? Wheres the Air Delta in and Air delta out? Where is YOUR COOLANT TEMPS?

Dude we dont even have a Flow chart, sorry but please dont post up BS tests like this one this forum.

Your block is inconclusive as of this moment until we get real numbers, and your gonna confuse the noobs.

Andy hurry and throw it on your bed. I want to see some numbers on this block.

[Taylor01]

Yes me too!

[Martinm210]

I'm holding out for McCoffee or Skinnee's results, I love my Supreme too much and it's going to take some logged temp results posted before I'm changing out blocks.

[NaeKuh]

actually skinnee got his i7 setup, i think he's gonna start testing very soon on them.

Oh crap that reminds me i need to send him my RD-30 so he can test these blocks with variable pressure and flow.
