Watercool Heatkiller Rad 360-S

[VSG]

Watercool makes a much awaited debut with the release of the all-new Heatkiller radiators. We take a look at the Heatkiller Rad 360-S here, published alongside the thicker Heatkiller Rad 360-L. Both come in multiple color finishes, excellent build quality, and increased case compatibility!

Am I the only one counting a pretty consistent 17 fins within that inch-wide caliper jaw opening? Also, it would be great to see radiator thicknesses mentioned in the discussion of flow restriction, as it can be pretty hard to keep track of which radiators are which thickness (i.e. are all thin radiators single-row? Are all single-row rads thin? And so on.). Beyond that, great review!

Oh, is there any word on a 140mm variant of this series?

I don't have enough radiators here to do a thin vs thick class, so I tend to talk about it in the discussion section underneath the plots themselves. But yes as more recent radiators get added then obviously I can make separate plots too.

No 140 mm radiators planned at this stage. Also, if the photo has any parallax errors, note that you need to account for also half fins etc in the gaps. There are 15 fins more often than not in this particular core, 16 in some places, 14 in more places than 16.

Thanks, the white one especially was not the easiest to photograph on my white backdrop. As for your other query, I addressed it on the comments section of the other review too, but quite clean. If I don't mention anything specifically, which I now realize I should based on the comments, it's a good thing. Keep in mind that these were among the first radiators made ready, so Watercool themselves would have probably tested it first too, meaning they were likely flushed before they came my way.

Nice radiators for any reasonable fan speed.
