Phanteks at CES 2023: Polar Coolers, Glacier One AIOs and DIY Liquid, D30 Stackable Fans, Eclipse G300A Case

Besides the show-stopping NV7 full-tower case, Phanteks showed off a wealth of new gear at its private show on the sidelines of the 2023 CES. The D30-120 is a stackable 120 mm fan that can work either individually, or stacked in rows of three sideways, so a single cable can drive all three fans and their lighting. They attach to each other over contact points that are concealed by detachable bits in the fan-frame. The fans feature high static pressure, and FDB bearing, and are ideal for radiator applications.
The Glacial One T30 Gen 2 line of AIOs is Phanteks's highest performing line of AIO closed-loop CPU coolers, featuring Asetek Gen 8 pump-block architecture, reinforced leak-proof tubing, 240 mm and 360 mm radiator size options, and high-performance T30-120 FDB fans to cool the radiator. The pump-block features a large, square copper cold-plate that's optimized for next-generation processors with larger IHS. This should come particularly handy for processors with chiplet architectures.
Phanteks also showed off the Polar S4-120 Black, Polar S5-120 D-RGB Black, Polar S5-120 D-RGB White, and Polar T6-120 Black tower-type CPU coolers. The S4-120 is a value-ended tower-type CPU cooler with four 6 mm copper heatpipes, and includes an M25-120 mm fan that turns up to 2,000 RPM. This cooler is ideal as a quieter stock cooler replacement for 65 W TDP processors. The S5-120 has a slightly thicker aluminium fin-stack, with five copper heatpipes, and the same M25-120 fan, positioned as a slightly more capable alternative to the S4-120. The T6-120 is a D-type (dual fin-stack) cooler for 125 W or higher unlocked processors, and is capable of handling some overclocking. It features two aluminium fin-stacks skewered by six 6 mm-thick copper heatpipes, and includes a couple of M25-120 2,000 RPM fans.
For the DIY liquid-cooling crowd, Phanteks showed off the Glacial G40 full-coverage water blocks for custom-design GeForce RTX 4090 and RTX 4080 graphics cards that combine a nickel-plated copper primary material with acrylic tops. The company also showed us the Glacier R260 D5 flat-type pump+reservoir contraptions, the Glacier C370 CPU water blocks optimized for LGA1700 and AM5.
Lastly, we came across the Eclipse G300A, a compact mid-tower case that has been intelligently designed (stretched in the right places), to make room for not just a 360 mm radiator along the front panel, but also has been extensively tested to have room for both a 360 mm radiator along the front-panel, as well as an ASUS ROG Strix RTX 4090 graphics card. Besides these, you also get room for a 240 mm radiator along the top exhaust. The G300A is designed to be positioned a notch below the G360A.

What a fantasic design these RGB fans (Lian-Li as well) if you think about it. Blow warm air generated by the LEDs in the fan through your heatsink :kookoo:

And people call me crazy for buying Noctua products.

LED's like these dont produce heat though

What's the point of front intake fans that are half obstructed by the PSU shroud?

ChaitanyaCopied Lian-li fans.
Hopefully these can run faster

Have you...have you never used an LED before?

I mean, technically LEDs produce heat, and are actually pretty inefficient in that regard. I doubt that that heat has any observable impact on cooling, though.

Increased fan hub or impeller or frame sizes might have some impact, though, but probably also marginal.

Are the D30-120s basically the T30-120s but with linking capability? I'm assuming so going by the "30" in the first part, and if so, that looks like a great alternative to the thinner Lian Li stackable fans.
