The HEATKILLER V is the perfect choice for those who want to equip their graphics card with powerful and stylish graphics card cooler. This water cooler is specially designed for NVIDIA RTX 4080 Founders Edition and provides optimal cooling performance for the GPU, voltage converter and VRAM. In order to keep the temperatures in the area of the GPU core low, we have heavily optimized the cooling structure around the graphics chip. The 48 x 0.3 mm fins used ensure high cooling performance with a consistently high flow rate. A flow-optimized acrylic jet plate ensures an ideal coolant distribution.

Familiar technologies from the HEATKILLER V, such as the dual-layer inflow and the symmetrical cooling design, have also been incorporated into the PRO variant. The split inflow and the symmetrical, wide flow channels ensure a constant high flow rate. According to Watercool, the development department has invested a lot of time into finding the ideal thermal pads for the hot GDDR6X RAM. Accordingly, special high-performance thermal pads are included in the scope of delivery.



Design-integrated connection terminal
The laterally mounted connection module has been completely integrated into the design of the cooling block. With the terminal, the connection threads also move to the side of the HEATKILLER. This compact design allows the cooler to be installed in almost any case.
Like a tailor-made suit, the HEATKILLER thereby wraps around the whole graphics card. This way, the water-cooled RTX 4080 FE becomes a visual highlight in the computer.

Backplate and aRGB in one package
The new HEATKILLER V PRO integrates the backplate into the assembly concept. Not only does the black backplate ensure a better distribution of forces around the cooling block, it also further enhances the unique design of the cooler.
The pre-installed aRGB strips now use a modular plug-in system. The high compatibility ensures that the HEATKILLER V Pro can be integrated into almost all lighting concepts.

The HEATKILLER V for NVIDIA RTX 4080 Founders Edition is available from 239.95€ in two different color variants.

Features
  • High Performance Cooling structure
  • Selected high performance heat conduction pads for the GDDR6X RAM
  • Dual Layer Inflow
  • Symmetrical cooling design
  • Design-integrated connection threads in the terminal
  • Screwless design
  • Insulating spacers made of high-performance plastic (Peek)

I used to be a massive Watercool fanboy.

I find Heatkiller blocks to be far more aesthetically pleasing than other brands. Not to mention the great performance.

But with the release of the RTX 3000 series, I feel Watercool dropped the ball and left us hanging. Where the hell are the RTX 3070 blocks? Better yet, why not a RTX 4070 block?

Sadly and because of this, I had to lower my standards to EKWB.

Can't even buy their products in my 3rd world home country (Australia). They look nice though.
