The controller is a Silverstone 3.5" but comes with a tri-knob PCI bracket and another for in-case fans:

but only $24 elsewhere

awesome, I might order one very soon. you can always wire 2 fans to each channel. THanks for the link, and CD's modding is awesome :rockout:

Sounds like 3x1900rpm SFlex with fan controller is the best option. Now to order a Heatkiller block.

How much better is the LT version of the HK 3.0 vs say my DTek V2?

Thanks on that. So he tested the LC version, not the LT for sale at Sidewinders. Should I opt for the extra $30 copper plated?

if you like the lookings, yes, but it shouldnt benefit performance really....

mlee49 · Sep 1, 2009

Ok I think I'll go with the LT non-copper base with the back plate. That with a PA120.3 and 3 1900rpm SFlex fans should help reduce idle/load temp range.

Velvet Wafer · Sep 1, 2009

it will get you 4ghz 24/7 stable, i promise ;-) at nice temps.

mlee49 · Sep 1, 2009

Promise? Thanks, I'll be back for a full refund if I dont get it!

i've been saying I want one for a while, but now with this D0, since it's like under 1.2v all the time, temps are no where close to being an issue :laugh:

I still want one though

I sold mine, it was gone within 15 minutes of placing the ad

do it CP,get it!^^

Wetbehindtheears · Sep 1, 2009

Got my HK ... just saving up for a Primochill Typhoon III then should be good to go...

mlee49 · Sep 1, 2009

Ordered the HK3.0 LT, backplate, 5 S-Flex 1900 fans, MX2, and have a 120.3 from Paulieg on the way! Need to stress the heat load on the block for before/after results. Thanks guys!!!

Thought I would throw these up just for comparison. This is a gamer I recently threw together from mostly parts I had lying around (it's the rig in my specs).

Here are some Vantage runs with temps :

HT off...

HT enabled...(had to bump vcore a bit)

I bet, things are still on demand, and I think everybody got one already :laugh:

I disappear for a month and some and I am back! How's everyone doing and what's been going on with your loops? Mine's doing fine and still keeping the status-quo with low CPU and GPU temps all thanks to basically everything watercool. I love their stuff, it's absolutely primo! For those who don't connect dots... Watercool is the company that produces the HK blocks. Everything that deals with transferring the heat in my loop has been watercool for about 4-5 months and I have to say it's better than my first two loops and they're managing a higher heat load :eek:

Hey well enough sucking german sausage~ How's the wet i7 love, brothers?

Well, even though you can actually buy them here it seems everyone loves the Heatkiller. The D0 took a bit longer to sell, even for a D0...
