Designed for use with Nvidia’s latest 10 Series GeForce GTX graphics cards, the first within Phanteks latest line up are the G1080 water blocks – compatible with GeForce GTX 1070 and GTX 1080 GPUs. Ensuring the blocks are highly compatible with a variety of add-in board partner products, Phanteks has designed a total of 5 cooling blocks. Visually identical and composed of the same materials and build quality, the G1080 is compatible with MSI, ASUS, EVGA, Gigabyte and Nvidia Founders Edition graphics cards. Crafted from automotive and aerospace grade materials, the blocks consist of an anodised, chrome plated aluminium plate, with a polished acrylic surface in a nickel finish.

Keeping up with the current trend of disco aesthetics and “RGB Everything!” – Epilepsy be damned, as Phanteks has provided full support for their own RGB-equipped chassis, as well as third-party solutions such as MSI Mystic Light Sync and Asus Aura Sync. Phanteks makes this possible through industry standards, including a 4-Pin RGB adapter for full control and synchronisation. Not skimping out form over function, the premium high-quality engineering that’s been applied to these full-cover water blocks is said to deliver a high-tier of performance and improvements, that meets the needs of water cooling enthusiasts.

Ensuring efficiency and the best possible performance, Phanteks includes its PH-NDC Nano Diamond Thermal Compound. Given the level of RGB integration, the supreme coating of polished acrylic and the level of performance that the Glacier1080 is set to deliver – the term Lights, Camera, Action! Feel almost too good to pass up.

Crafted from a unibody copper base, fine-tuned at 0.4MM wide and 5MM high, the Glacier C350i features an integrated construction of cooling fins in order to provide improved conductivity. Phanteks states that this also adds to the overall improvement of heat dissipation during extreme sessions of overclocking. Supported in full for RGB configurations, a 4-Pin RGB adapter is also included for MSI Mystic Light Sync and Asus Aura Sync. Taking note of UV coolants and the ever growing trend of RGB customization, it would appear that Phanteks seeks to provide a far more efficient solution with cross-compatibility – allowing easier management of lighting preferences. Compatible with Intel LGA 2011-3 and LGA 115X CPUs, those on the latest Kabylake platform will benefit greatly thanks to the extremely fast clock speeds offered by the architecture.
