Phanteks launches Glacier G40 liquid cooling block for Asus RTX 4090 and RTX 4080 GPUs

The RTX 4090 has arrived and it is truly a beastly card. We've seen many incredibly chunky air-cooled models so far, which means many looking at this GPU may be considering liquid cooling. Phanteks has those people covered with a new set of GPU water blocks. 

This week, Phanteks is launching the new Glacier G40 Asus GPU block, designed to work with the Asus Strix and TUF series RTX 4090 and RTX 4080 graphics cards. With the block installed, you'll have a much slimmer graphics card that can be plumbed straight into a custom liquid cooling loop for the best performance possible.

The Phanteks Glacier G40 Asus GPU block uses a transparent acrylic jet plate 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. Finally, a new fitting location has been placed on the card for easier tube routing, and each block comes with a GPU support bracket if you need to eliminate any sagging and secure the graphics card further.

The Glacier G40 Asus GPU block will be available in Satin Black (£229.99), Chrome (£239.99) and Matte White (£239.99) colour finishes.
