Thank you for this wonderful review All the questions I had in my mind were answered in this video Thanks again And I wish you success

Please enjoy watching 🙏

u guys are really one of the best content creators regarding gpu blocks.. i really wish u would get more endorsement from waterblock companies.. try emailing them about ur channel

This waterblock is so well made, pretty clean and solid. Another great video and looking forward to the next one! I wish maybe one day I could have a heatkiller block in one of my builds, but here in Brasil is hard to put my hands at one of these yet.

I literally bought this exact GPU block 2 weeks ago after getting a good recommendation and after watching your video on the 4090 Heatkiller block. It looks really well made (tho quite heavier than I thought) and the footage and reviews here are really good for helping with decision making! Keep up with the good work!

Watercool makes some of the best wateblocks on the market ( probably second only to Optimus Cooling but those are much more expensive ) . The only negative side with them ( much alike Optimus Cooling ) is that they do only offer an extremely limited list of supported GPUs. Most of the time they do only support FE and Strix/TUF , with FE seeing very limited supply and Strix/TUF being most of the time overpriced. Imo this is a big strategic/marketing mistake that for some reason many watercooling companies are making these days. It would at the very least be smart to offer some waterblock covering the reference PCB designs where there is much wider offer of SKUs from partners like Palit , PNY , MSI , Gigabyte etc etc .

Watercool from what I know and if you check their website is a really small firm located in a rather small town. It's not that they don't expand, but overall I think they prefer quality over quantity. While I totally agree with you that it would make sense to offer blocks for the reference PCB design, I think they just focus on a few enthusiast products and it already takes them a lot of time to get the blocks done, that they offer, because their man power and resources are limited. It's all made in Germany, nothing outsourced to Asia or elsewhere. They used to have a forum thread where their employes announced new stuff and answered customers questions and usually most of the enthusiasts were like "Asus does the best PCB/power delivery so give us the best waterblock for the best card that we can get".

@@Joh_Lam Yes i am aware that they are a small team with limited manufacturing capabilities but i do rarely see their SKUs go out of stock which means their manufacturing capability exceeds their current demand which itself is constrained by the models they do cover. Money is money nobody will say no to more , at least havent crossed somebody who would yet XD. But jokes aside even if we assume that they can not expand and have enough capacity to only take care of two variants then they could keep the Strix for the ''enthusiast'' ( there is nothing enthusiastic about the Strix on 4000 series since they are power limited so the difference is marginal reagardless of the PCB design ) crowd and offer a reference PCB variant instead of the FE . At least that would help to bring up the demand to match their current manufacturing capacity and if anything else make them more money which could potentially incite them to grow etc .

@@alb9229 Well, I do agree with you, makes perfect sense. Now that I think about it, I actually had one of their GPU blocks back for the RTX 20 series, which was reference PCB. And for the RTX 30 they made them as well. So, I guess only this generation they somehow decided against it for some reason!?

Thank you for this tutorial it helped me out

Thanks for your comment. 🙏 I am happy to hear that and I appreciate your feedback. I hope you stay tuned for future videos.

I own a PNY 4080 Super which would fit with the Alphacool Core. I have the opportunity to get a 4080S FE card which would fit with the Heatkiller V card. Would you say the Heatkiller is a better overall block than the Alphacool Core?

What radiators u use for testing ?

Thanks for your comment🙏and thank you for watching! I decided to go with a single 30mm Alphacool radiator, the ST30 360mm because it's a full copper radiator and has 5 ports for convenience. 3x Noctua 25mm fans to cool. These were chosen because they are fairly standard sizing. Hope that helps

Thanks for your comment 🙏 It should be compatible. The next video will be the 4080 super strix teardown. I already put it on a 4080 water block and it fits. Should be the same for the TUF. Hope that helps
