Phanteks Intros Polar ST Series CPU Coolers

[btarunr]

Phanteks today launched the Polar ST line of air-type CPU coolers. These include the Polar ST4 (chrome) and the Polar ST5 (black). The aluminium fin-stack tower type fan-heatsinks. The Polar ST4 features four nickel plated copper heat pipes, and is rated for a maximum thermal load of 235 W, while the Polar ST5 has a more upmarket appearance with its black powder coating, and a die-cast metal top plate. The Polar ST5 has five nickel-plated copper heat pipes instead of four, which takes its thermal load value up to 255 W.

Both the Phanteks Polar ST4 and Polar ST5 include a 120 mm fan, specifically the Phanteks M25-120 PWM DRGB. As its name suggests, this is a conventional 25 mm-thick 120 mm fan with PWM control, and addressable RGB lighting control. Its ARGB LEDs are located in the impeller hub. The fan turns between 400 and 2,000 RPM, pushing up to 84.26 CFM of airflow, at up to 2.67 mm H₂O static pressure, and a maximum noise output of 35.7 dBA. Phanteks is including a thermal paste with 4.3 W/m-k thermal conductivity. Among the CPU socket types supported are LGA1851, LGA1700, LGA1200, AM5, and AM4. The company didn't reveal pricing.

Nobody asked for such things. And I would like to see these tiny, direct touch and low on heatpipes coolers handling well above 200W on sockets marketing mentions.

But Phanteks could bring their T30s to air cooling world instead - combining these dope fans, premium quality and aesthetics Phanteks used to be quite good at. I think we are in an era when it's not likely to move much forward performance wise (without going crazy with size) and air coolers just started trying not looking ugly, but still they don't tend to look good. Meaning what RGB croud would like to see in their cases instead of AiO. Or using Deepcool Assasin IV as example.

Yeah....
