9. Alphacool Core Geforce RTX 4090 GameRock + Phantom with backplate
The core product series from Alphacool is characterised by high quality, outstanding performance and a uniform, functional design language. The core of this cooler is the copper cooler, which is milled from a single piece of copper together with the end terminal. The fine finish in combination with the hard and resistant chrome plating of the entire copper radiator meets the highest quality standards. The two integrated G1/4" brass threads, left in chrome, stand out visually from the terminal and are one of the key points of the new design language that is evident in all products of the Core series. The aluminium backplate, which is adapted to the design, forms a unit together with the terminal and convinces with a clear and homogeneous appearance on the back of the radiator. The lighting consists of digitally addressable RGB LEDs that illuminate the entire cooler evenly and well. The technical development can be seen in the water supply to the nozzle plate and in the optimisation of the jet plate itself. This was completely redesigned on the basis of many simulations and practical tests in cooperation with board partners. The fin thickness and distances have been changed, the cooling surface has been enlarged and the water flow to the core components with the greatest heat output has been optimised. The enclosed special soft heat-conducting pads with up to 7 W/mK adapt perfectly to even the smallest tolerances.

10. Watercool Heatkiller V for RTX 30803090 - Copper + Acetal
With the HEATKILLER V, Watercool launches a new generation of coolers for the current Nvidia RTX 30 graphics cards. Equipped with unique highlights, the latest version of the HEATKILLER V showcases what is technically feasible. An increased number of cooling fins enhances the cooling performance directly above the graphics processor, thereby improving the most critical area. The cooler base, machined from a solid block, establishes contact with all relevant components. The groundbreaking dual-layer inlet distributes the water simultaneously on two levels, resulting in at least a 30 percent higher inflow compared to our previous generation. The wide and symmetrically designed flow paths minimize dead spots (standing water) and accelerate the flow. The overall result not only increases the maximum cooling performance but also the flow rate of the HEATKILLER V. Thanks to newly designed spacers made of high-performance plastic (PEEK), the 10 mm solid copper block is ideally insulated from the circuit board. In addition to the technical innovations, the cooler's design is also impressive. The screwless cover gives the entire block a seamless appearance. The symmetrically designed channels further enhance the aesthetics of the cooler, making it a unique eye-catcher.
