Phanteks is finally ready to launch its own lighting and cooling ecosystem. Named Nexlinq, this ecosystem offers a comprehensive solution that streamlines cooling, fan control, and RGB lighting while minimising cable clutter. Alongside Nexlinq, Phanteks also introduced the first cooling hardware compatible with the new system, including 120 mm and 140 mm fans, a hub, and an AIO 360 cooler.
At the heart of Nexlinq is the Nexlinq Hub, which uses the new Linq 6 connector to simplify connections and reduce cable management hurdles. The accompanying Nexlinq App provides an intuitive interface for controlling fan speeds and RGB lighting effects across your entire system.
Alongside the software and hub, Phanteks also introduced the new Phanteks M25 Gen 2 fans compatible with Nexlinq. Designed for optimal airflow and cooling performance, these fans are suitable for radiators and heatsinks. Their daisy-chainable design, coupled with the Linq 6 connector, further simplifies cable management, allowing you to connect multiple fans with a single cable. These fans also have a variant with integrated D-RGB lighting with an infinity mirror effect at the centre, adding additional visual flair. Reverse blade models with D-RGB are also available.
For those seeking a new CPU cooling solution, the Glacier One 360M25 G2 AIO liquid cooler could be worth considering. With a design inspired by the newly launched Phanteks G400A, it features a mesh covering the pump AIO and the integrated fan. In addition, the radiator comes paired with three M25 Gen 2 fans.
All these Nexlinq-compatible products will be available this month. The hub costs £21.90/$24.99/€24.90, and the Glacier One 360M25 G2 AIO costs $99.99/€99.90/£89.99. The new M25 G2 120-mm fans start at £4.99/$5.99/€5.90 for the standard non-RGB variant, while the M25 G2 140 starts at £6.99/$7.99/€7.90. There are also 3-packs of the 120 mm fans starting at £13.99/€15.90/$15.99 (non-RGB) and 3-packs of 140 fans starting at £18.99/€21.90/$21.99 (also non-RGB).
