jk....I'm waiting for their results too....it'll be quite some time before I get to the HK vs. EK vs. KL350, etc

**skinnee** · 03-17-2009, 06:39 PM

Yeah, I had a 775 mishap.

DFI p35 board went to the silicon and copper graveyard last night when I was changing mounts. So, 775 has been put on hold until I can get a new board.

Good news is the i7 testing moves to the forefront and I can finally get cracking. Have some pressure drop tests to complete and then its full bore. I should be going full tilt by this weekend if all goes according to plan. mcoffey and vapor...we'll be in touch like normal I'm sure.

do you need a donation? I have a wonderful x38 t2r sitting in my basement. I was planning on putting it to crunching but not till summer and its looking like I will be on a new platform by that point anyway.

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.

I see you found part of what caused my PM tirade with you the other night.

i like my koolance backplate for the tests....its thick and insulated

**zlojack** · 03-17-2009, 07:49 PM

HESmelaugh also has some results published for this block which show it as being a winner, though I'm sure you've all seen the results already.

Alright, so for my testing do I pickup an HK LT or does it have to be an HK CU? The base is the same, the only difference is the copper top vs. Acetal (POM) top.

Oh yeah, then there is the availability of a backplate.

HK 3.0 = Doesn't matter if it's copper or POM top
HK 3.0 LT = Copper or POM top, but fewer channels than the regular HK

That's not the way it is. There are three models of Heatkiller 3.0

The HK 3.0 CU and the HK 3.0 LT are identical except for copper vs. POM in the top.

The HK 3.0 LC is the one with the different base (less channels) and no midplate. Also no SS on the top of the block (all black)

**skinnee** · 03-19-2009, 06:07 PM

I think I'm gonna go with the POM top, one because I think the Copper top is ugly and I can add a Supreme LT to the mix by saving a few bucks.

Sounds very good, will be interesting to see if the LT will be able to beat the Koolance 350 and Supreme LT. Can't believe you would notice much difference based on the tops.

Wow, I thought I was the only one who thought that the copper was a bit too much.

No I agree also the cooper one is very tacky! now nickle would have been nice.

**BringerOdeath** · 03-20-2009, 03:39 PM

I want to order the LT HK today but Gary doesnt Have any back-plates left. Does any other backplate work with the HK??

Mcoffey is using the Koolance backplate with his.

andyc

At least I know there's another option. WC should have been thoughtful enough to simply tack on a few dollars to the selling price and included ALL needed mounting HW.

**BringerOdeath** · 03-20-2009, 06:28 PM

Thx, guys! If I get one of these, can I just use the backplate?? Koolance wants $18 for the backplate....

The EK one looks like the best bet since it bolts through without threaded holes....I have to choose one of these, I don't mind improvisation! I jimmy-rigged my Fuzion V2!

**NameTaken45** · 03-20-2009, 06:41 PM

how do the HK's compare to the GTZ's???? on 775s?

I think the thread sizes are different. On the HK block it looks like it is a M4. Do you know what size is on the Thermalright?

That would be nice if it worked as I am also looking for a backplate.

I like the look of copper too, but the symmetry and layout of that top is just not pleasing to my eye. The POM has more contrast and while I still think its ugly, I'd rather have the POM in my collection versus the copper top.

Now, if I were running a chiller...looks be damned, I want to extra mass of the copper top. Thats what you need ShoNuff...a chiller.

**kpablo** · 03-25-2009, 09:57 AM

My HK LT 3.0 arrived today! With a backplate! XD That one it was out of stock on normal page of Sidewindercomputer... but in their checkout page, at the bottom of the page in their recommended product part, it was a link for the backplate... even knowing it was out of stock i added to cart... and i don´t know how but they sent me one! XD No.. is not the 775 backplate... I bought the EK Top for D5 too... this thing is damm huge!

Also... they lowered the cost in the printed receipt so even i did not had to pay a tax for international arrives! Definetely ill be going to do more bussines with Gary!

**beast200** · 03-25-2009, 12:39 PM

What temps are you seeing at what voltage? Also which of the two radiators do you have on the CPU block?

Thanks,
Eddie

**Mech0z** · 05-08-2009, 01:13 PM

Anyone seen flow test of the LC vs LT? Just wonder if the LT is much more restrictive as I will probobly use a XSPC Duel bay pump and therefore have some limited flow, and if its alot more restrictive, the performance gain the LT have over the LC might vanish due to lower flow.
