Phanteks Makes its Foray into DIY Liquid Cooling

btarunr · May 31, 2016

Phanteks made its major foray into DIY liquid cooling, with the launch of two new CPU blocks, a new full-coverage VGA block for the GeForce GTX 1080, and a variety of fittings. To begin with, the company showed off two new untitled CPU water blocks, one features a bulged out frosty acrylic top, and the other a flat top with POM acetal inserts near the fittings area. Speaking of which, the company launched a boat-load of plugs, extenders, and compression fittings to go with these blocks. Lastly, the company launched its first full-coverage VGA block, with one designed for the GTX 1080.

Yeah, pretty surprising for a first go at it, isn't it? Nice looks, hope the performance is equally nice...

I kinda want the second block... and to do a custom loop again get 5.25 bay res + pump bay and go to town

The second block looks better to me, and appears to be solid, not flimsy.

Those CPU blocks look so much like Heatkiller's. Not that it's easy to make something look fresh in that category, though.

Those GPU blocks look amazeballs
