Phanteks announces the release of the new Glacier G40 ASUS GPU block, designed specifically for the ASUS STRIX/TUF RTX 4090/4080 Series cards. The Glacier G40 ASUS GPU Block brings the ultimate cooling performance with unique water block features to build stunning water-cooled systems. Phanteks' Glacier G40 ASUS GPU Block provides a high-performance water-cooling solution custom-designed for the latest ASUS GeForce RTX 4000 series cards. A transparent acrylic jet plate is positioned directly over the GPU die to ensure optimal heat transfer. The backplate is included with all models to provide a smooth integrated look while providing additional cooling to the back of the PCB. In addition, the full-cover copper cold plate directly cools all memory and power delivery components on the PCB with high-quality thermal pads.

The Glacier G40 ASUS GPU Block also introduces some new features, such as a new fitting location to allow for better tube routing, even in the most compact chassis. To improve stability, a GPU support bracket is added to connect the water block to the rear PCI bracket so that the GPU is mounted more securely. Like all Phanteks' Glacier products, the Glacier G40 ASUS GPU Block is made in Taiwan using only 100% copper, cast acrylic, anodized aluminium covers, and extremely durable 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 ASUS GPU block will be available in Satin Black, Chrome and Matte White color finishes.

Availability: Available now.

MSRP Pricing:
  • Satin Black: €249.90 / £229.90 / $249.99
  • Chrome: €269.90 / £244.90 / $269.99
  • Matte White: €269.90 / £244.90 / $269.99

Beautiful blocks! I may go with these over EKWB just for that port placement. No need to worry about extra height clearance (length is still a different story)

Looks like it’s just a render anyway but yeah, IRL you’re better off with a second 90 deg adapter

Meh. Besides the size of aircooled 4090. The stock cooling is rather good and silent. My Asus rtx 4090 tuf is very silent I silent bios while remaining with in respectable temperature.

Hahaha true. Those adapters is a abomination. Looks ugly, a fire hazard and to much current throw to little a connector.

A few bad cables and all the sudden it's too much current for a little connector? It look Galax over 1500w to burn one. GN just tortured one for 3 days and couldn't get it to melt.
I wish Jay hadn't made those videos and said such foolish things. Its still the best option around to connect a gpu, not to mention cleanest. Nvidia just really messed up and didn't manufacture all the adapters with the same cables, or even the same flimsy solder plate. But that is an Nvidia thing. If you terminate all 16 cables in the actual connector like you're suppose to, it's not going to have problems, as long as it's plugged in all the way

It's definitely not a clean look, if you're using that nasty ugly adapter that comes with the card.

I have ordered a cable from Cablemods. I really hate that adapter. It's make an eyesore out of my pc and the wires on the adapter is so stiff to. Nope I have nothing good to say on that adaptor. Even if the adapter is not a fire hazard. It does not change how it looks and the fact it's not good for cable management.

This is my own pc with that adapter. An eyesore in my pc in my own opinion
