Thandor Ex Member What's the fuzz all about?	3dfx Heatkiller 01.09.05 at 21:02:29 I've a question about this watercooler : Who made it ? (3dfx or 3rd party) Is it common (I thought it is quite rare) Does someone on this board own it ? _{And if so, could you take a photo of the bottom of the cooler ?. Thanks} And also a picture of the 3dfx Heatkiller

The "heatkiller"-series is made by watercool, the company is AFAIK only at the german market.

It is quite rare indeed because in 2000 the watercooling-thing was still in the fledgling stages so this cooler hasn't been sold in great numbers.

Yes, it was intended for a 5500 as the two heatsinks clearly show. Wink

Anybody else idea's on that?

Opinion- From an engineering standpoint I would not have flow going from one chip to another. You are only taking heat collected from one chip and passing it over the other before heading to the heat exchanger.

Better to have a "Y" block with equal coolant flow going to each chip and then from there two outlets running to your exchanger.

Chances are neither here nor there as the limit of the boards is the ram speed rating not the VSA-100 chips typically.

Looks nice though.

Really his set up is fine as long as he get ideal heat transfer, it really comes down to your fan/rad combo, i bet a 80mm fan/rad would be overkill as it is for those 2 vsa chips.
water does not heat right up like air does(for disbilevers turn stove on and put hand down lol, now put a pot of water down and put hand in, if you ran a pump and rad/fan combo you could keep your hand in there for ever) so its easy to maintain a constant temp, the factors being,

rad size
fan size/amount
speed of fluid
fluid mixture
total amount of fluid

for me though i'd go with Gary's idea because i like to go big Tongue

As BFG3dfx stated: that's no problem because the temperature difference between the intake and the exhaust of that coolerunit is very small, I would say not more than 1°C.

In a "normal" watercooling-setup the total amount of temperature difference is not more than 4-5°C, even if you cool CPU, northbridge and GPU. It's more a constant heating-up to a maximum watertemperature in front of the radiator because the relatively small amounts of heat compared to other watercooled devices like cars.
