Phanteks Unveils RTX 4000 Series Water Blocks
With the new generation of GeForce RTX 4000 cards announcement, Phanteks today unveils the upcoming Glacier G40 GPU water blocks for RTX 4000 Series cards. The Glacier G40 GPU blocks bring the ultimate cooling performance with some unique water block features to build amazing water-cooled system. With the new generation of GeForce RTX 4000 cards announcement, Phanteks today unveils the upcoming Glacier G40 GPU water blocks for RTX 4000 Series cards. The Glacier G40 GPU blocks bring the ultimate cooling performance with some unique water block features to build amazing water-cooled systems.
Phanteks' Glacier G40 GPU blocks provide a high-performance water-cooling solution custom-designed for the latest GeForce RTX 4000 series cards. A clear acrylic jetplate directly over the GPU die ensures optimal heat transfer. The backplate is included with all models to provide a clean integrated look while also providing additional cooling to the back of the PCB. In addition, the full cover copper coldplate directly cools all memory and power delivery components on the PCB with high quality thermal pads.
The Glacier G40 GPU blocks also introduce some new features, such as a new fitting location to allow for better tube routing, even in more compact chassis. To improve stability, a GPU support bracket is added to connect the water block to the rear PCI bracket, so the GPU is mounted more secure.
Like all Phanteks' Glacier products, the Glacier G40 GPU blocks are made in Taiwan using only 100% copper, cast acrylic, anodized aluminium covers and extremely durably Viton O-rings known from the automotive and aerospace industries. The integrated D-RGB lighting beautifully complements the water block and can synchronize with Phanteks' D-RGB accessories and compatible motherboards.
The Glacier G40 GPU blocks will support the RTX 4000 Series with more to follow in the future. Please check the Phanteks website and social media for more details on support and availability.

EDIT, wait the second one actually has them on the side....
to launch a waterblock that only say rtx 4090 is almost to say that all 4090's are the same.
I apologize because I can't remember the details, but one of the PC tech sites had an opinion piece that AIB partners are mostly wasting their effort on custom PCB designs. Whoever the author was had the opinion that AIBs are better off just using the reference design, bolting on their custom cooler, maybe tweaking the VBIOS's power and fan curves, and calling it a day. I want to stress that this was the opinion of one tech writer and his reasoning is that these custom designs incur costs that shave down already skimpy gross margins.
Honestly i kind glad if this is the case by experience. I got the evga rtx 3090 ftw ultra.
I is a great card, but way to bulk. I ended in the need of the active back plate (i know that was all 3090’s).
It took forever to get a waterblock, i came super expensive, then super expensive active back plate. At the end i got i giant double block that is almost the same performance that a 3080 ti.
If we get most reference design pcbs and all boost higher if water-cooled i will call it a day with any 4090 and this Phanteks waterblock (their waterblocks are grest!) in comparison with the overpriced ekwb.
This is the 2 ekwb just for refernce that cost over $350 plus the 3090 itself
