Phanteks Launches the NexLinq Ecosystem
Phanteks introduces the NEXLINQ ecosystem, a next-gen solution for enhanced cooling, fan and lighting control, and refined system aesthetics. Featuring the new Linq 6 connector, NEXLINQ simplifies cable management and elevates DIY PC builds. The ecosystem includes the NEXLINQ Hub, M25 Gen 2 Fans, and Glacier One 360M25 G2 AIO Liquid CPU Cooler, delivering ultimate performance and customization. Fully compatible with the G400A chassis and future products, NEXLINQ offers a seamless, optimized setup for gamers and PC enthusiasts.
The Phanteks NEXLINQ Hub, with the Linq 6 connector and NEXLINQ App, simplifies fan and lighting control across your system. The hub streamlines connectivity, reducing cable clutter, while the app offers an intuitive interface for fine-tuning fan speeds and lighting effects. With support for CPU/GPU temperature-based fan RPM adjustments and customizable RGB effects, users can easily personalize and optimize their builds. The Phanteks M25 Gen 2 Fans boost cooling efficiency with a daisy-chained unified fan frame and Linq 6 connector, ensuring fast, clean connections and reducing cable clutter. Designed for optimal airflow, they excel at cooling radiators and heatsinks under heavy loads. With options for regular or reverse airflow, users can fine-tune thermal performance. The fans also feature integrated D-RGB lighting, delivering dynamic, infinity mirror style visual effects.360 mm High-Performance Cooling with Glacier One 360M25 G2 AIO
The Glacier One 360M25 G2 AIO Liquid CPU Cooler offers top-tier cooling for demanding gaming and heavy workloads. Equipped with M25 Gen 2 Fans, it simplifies cable management for a clean, organized build. The large copper base and fin array provide exceptional cooling performance, even for high-end CPUs, while the mesh AIO cap with an integrated fan ensures extra cooling for surrounding VRMs and key components. Inspired by the G400A chassis front panel, the mesh cap delivers a cohesive aesthetic. Designed for easy installation, the Glacier One 360M25 G2 also ensures compatibility with motherboards and RAM, enhanced by the efficient Linq 6 connector system.

6 Comments on Phanteks Launches the NexLinq Ecosystem
First time seeing software from Phanteks. Let's see how it competes with the others.
We have 2.5" SSD mounting bays going to waste in just about every PC case on the market, but no - this set of fans requires a completely arbitrary block of plastic that doesn't fit in any bay and needs to dangle loosely by the rat's nest of cabling, or get stuck to the back of the motherboard tray with the included adhesive pad that's good for typically 3-6 weeks of adhesion. It looks great to me; yes, the title bar looks like Vista's old black theme but it's refreshingly simple and clear. There's no valid reason why most of the other ARGB software suites are such a bloated mess - they literally have only two jobs:
- Fan speed
- Lighting control
Such a simple pair of tasks shouldn't need a 1.2GB install with account creation, telemetry, promotions, other "value-add features" (marketing BS, basically), and so much feature creep that even Microsoft or Adobe would feel outdone. Also, CAM, Synapse, and iCUE are hardly good examples of bug-free, stable operation.
