Know before you buy
No, this base plate is specifically engineered for the RTX 4090 ULTRA and is designed to be used as a replacement component for the HEATKILLER V PRO for RTX water cooler series.
This ULTRA base plate features a significantly increased cooling surface area with a fin density of 100 x 0.15mm. These refinements are designed to provide superior thermal management compared to the standard PRO version.
The base plate is constructed from high-quality copper that has been nickel-plated. This combination ensures excellent thermal conductivity while protecting the metal against corrosion.
Yes, this is designed as a direct replacement component. However, it requires disassembling your existing water block, so you should be comfortable with custom loop maintenance and thermal interface application.
By significantly lowering operating temperatures through its increased surface area, this base plate can help maintain higher boost clocks for longer periods. While it doesn't guarantee higher overclocks, it provides the thermal headroom necessary to push your card further.
