Review on Phanteks Glacier PH C360A_01 Digital RGB Lighting by Smiley Edwards

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Good pace for Ryzen! unique flow.

If you are not familiar with chip design, this option is suitable for Ryzen chips because they flow evenly through the chip and not from the center to the outside. Intel has processors in the middle overall. Ryzen has chiplets that are slightly off-center, and there are either two or three of them. You can google the image to see it. This design makes more sense and requires some guesswork as to water block orientation for better cooling. (Only a few degrees difference, but every little bit helps) One could argue that it doesn't matter as long as the flow is right and the material (copper) can be properly cooled. So many themes with competing ideas that I wanted to try. Well done, clean and elegant. Temperatures are on par if not a degree or two lower than ek products. This is my first time using a Fantex block and I am pleasantly surprised. I will definitely use them for builds in the future. I might try a water block from them later.

Pros
  • Easy to read control panel
Cons
  • There are disadvantages
