With the water blocks for the Nvidia Geforce RTX 30 series, we start a new generation: the HEATKILLER® V! We used our 20 years of experience in developing and manufacturing high-performance water blocks for this product. With a list of unique highlights, this water block shows the absolute pinnacle of what is currently technically possible:Improvements over the highly acclaimed predecessor:Dual-layer flow pathRefined cooling structureImproved flow rateSymmetrical designScrewless front coverIntegrated aRGBIsolating standoffs made from high-performance plastic (PEEK)CNC cut thermal padsKryonaut thermal paste integrated"Our development always focused on improving the cooling performance." (Rico Weber, WATERCOOL CEO,Sep.2020)By raising the number of cooling fins directly above the DIE, we improved the cooling performance in this most critical area. The cold plate is milled from a solid piece of 99% pure electrolytic copper and makes perfect contact to all relevant components. The innovative dual-layer flow path layout distributes the coolant on two parallel layers. This improves the flow rate of the HEATKILLER® V block by over 30% compared to its predecessor.Symmetrical, wide flow channels reduce dead spots (standing liquid) to the absolute minimum and improve not only the flow rate, but also the cooling performance. newly developed standoffs made from an industrial-grade high-performance plastic (PEEK) isolate the massive 10mm copper block perfectly from the PCB.With all the technical innovations also come new design choices. The screwless top makes the HEATKILLER® V look like it's made from one piece. The symmetrical flow channel layout gives the block an absolutely unique look and sets it off from any other water block. The versions withnickel-plated coldplate and acrylic topalso come with integrated aRGB illumination to perfectly integrate the GPU block into an existing illumination concept.The acclaimed Kryonaut thermal paste from Th
