The HEATKILLER IV series

Watercool counts its HEATKILLER® CPU series water coolers among the best-known and most powerful processor water coolers in the world, and among the best performing and most popular CPU blocks on the market. Since its presentation in 2001, the model series has been constantly expanded and, in Watercool's word, perfected. The HEATKILLER® IV represents the most comprehensive and latest development, the most recent iteration of the franchise. Against the previous model it brings:

• Up to 3 °C better temperatures and cooling performance compared to its predecessor
• More flow thanks to the larger nozzle and collecting channel, resulting in fewer blockages (less clogging)
• The tool-free Easy-Mount system (EasyMount)
• Extra large connections and fittings, thanks to 25 mm spacing of the ports

New cooling structure and optimized flow

The cooling structure, or cooling engine, underwent the biggest overhaul of all developments. Watercool has given the cooler significantly finer, thinner fins to ensure a larger area and thus better heat dissipation. It made sure to design the slats in such a way that the flow does not suffer.

Compared to its predecessor, the separate nozzle plate (jet plate) is dispensed with: its mechanics are integrated directly into the lid. Watercool writes that the novel design "allowed us to increase performance, improve flow and optimize reliability".
