HEATKILLER® GPU-X³ GTX 560
The unique design of the HEATKILLER® GPU-X³ guarantees outstanding performance. A cooling performance in
the range of current high-end CPU coolers, a flat design as well as top quality materials distinguish the new GPU-
X³ series.
The bottom plate consists of pure copper. The cooling structure of the GPU is extremely fine-tuned and offers a
higher performance than most CPU coolers. The thin base ensures even more performance.

Attention: The Watercool company assumes no liability for any damages caused to hardware. If
uncertain hire a specialist to carry out the modification, or use our modification service. By
disassembling the original cooler you may cause the manufacturer´s warranty to become void, if
uncertain contact the manufacturer of the Graphic card.
Preparation of the Graphic card
Remove the original heatsink and all remnants of the thermal pads.
Place the pre-cut pads on the graphics card as illustrated. Normally, both sides of the pads are covered with a
protective film which must be removed before the installation.
Make sure to place the pads on the right components.
No. 1 – thermal pad 0.25mm height (color light grey)
No. 2 – thermal pad 1.00mm height (color light blue)
Instead of the thermal pads, you can use a non-conductive thermal compound on the RAM components, which
slightly increases the cooling capacity in this area. However, we recommend using the enclosed heat conducting
pads.
Apply the thermal compound to the GPU area evenly.
