Watercool Heatkiller V Pro for RTX 5090 Palit/Gainward ACRYL Ni-Bl aRGB

Expected to arrive late March

The new HEATKILLER V graphics card coolers for Palit and Gainward RTX 5090 graphics cards are the consistent further development of Watercool's already above-average successful RTX 4090 graphics card coolers, optimised for maximised performance.

Key features of the HK V Pro series:

• Modular high - performance base plate
• Dual layer airflow
• Symmetrical cooling design
• Design-integrated mounting threads in the connection module
• Connection module screwed to copper base plate
• Screwless - more compact design
• aRGB board with improved connector System
   

Modular Pro-Performance base plate with 60 x 0.25mm fins

With 60 x 0.25mm fins, Watercool are setting the standard for water-cooled graphics card coolers with their current PRO-Performance base plate. The PRO version is based on a generously designed cooling surface that ensures high flow rates and performance thanks to its channel geometry. The base plate of the Pro version is currently regarded as the standard in the water cooling sector.

All spacing to heat-sensitive components has been reduced to a minimum so that the heat from thermal problem zones such as the ram and voltage converters is ideally dissipated. Spacers made of the high-performance plastic PEEK insulate the cooler optimally from the circuit board and make installation easier.

Dual-layer inflow and symmetrical cooling design

The dual-layer inflow and the symmetrical cooling design can be found in the current version of our HEATKILLER V GPU cooler. The increased inflow is particularly important for the ultra-performance base plate. The division of the water into two levels ensures a better flow through the cooler. The symmetrical flow paths, which have been implemented through extensive flow simulations, optimise the flow and therefore the overall performance of the HEATKILLER V cooler.

High-performance thermal pads for GDDR7 RAM

Watercool's development department has invested a lot of time in finding the ideal thermal pads for the graphics card memory. They have found a thermal pad that lowers the temperatures around the memory compared to the very good standard pads.

Design-integrated side connection module

Another innovation is the connection threads integrated into the side of the module. For additional stability, the connection module is screwed to the copper base plate of the cooler. Together with the screwless panelling and the backplate included in the package, the result is a cooler that looks like a single unit.
In order to achieve the best possible design, the cooler has been designed so that the electronic components of the circuit board are not visible.

Backplate and aRGB in the package

The mounting of the cooler has been completely revised. In contrast to the previous versions, the entire cooling unit is screwed to the backplate. This not only makes installation easier, but also distributes the contact pressure optimally, which further increases the cooling performance.  In addition to the impressive appearance, better temperatures are achieved.

The aRGB board used now utilises a modular design and a compact plug-in system. The implementation as a circuit board ensures better durability. Thanks to the high compatibility of our LEDs, the Heatkiller V cooler can be integrated into any lighting concept. However, the plug-in system also allows the cooler to be used quite simply without any lighting.

Made in Germany

Production is performed with the utmost care on Watercool's state-of-the-art CNC machinery in Waren an der Müritz. Numerous work steps are carried out by hand and each product is perfected according to the four-eyes principle. Made in Germany of course.
