If you have a Gigabyte RTX 3090 Ti Aorus Xtreme or the RTX 3090 Ti Gaming and you're not happy with its cooling performance, it might be worth knowing that Phanteks has just launched a new water block for those cards.
The new Glacier water block is bundled with a backplate and thermal pads to improve passive cooling, even if the RTX 3090 Ti GPUs don't have back-facing memory modules like the RTX 3090 cards. However, the block will undoubtedly help drop GPU temperatures and control other hotspots, as long as you have a decent custom loop to back it up.
Like in other Glacier blocks, the copper base that makes contact with the chip is nickel plated. The top is clear acrylic and has VITON O-rings for added reliability and longevity. Depending on which bundle you've chosen, the cover plate on the top and the backplate can come in black or chrome.
Both variants have D-RGB lighting that can be synced with other Phanteks' D-RGB accessories or via motherboard RGB software from motherboard vendors. The Phanteks Gigabyte bundle will be available in late June, priced at €229.99/$229.99/£194.90 for the black version and €249.99/$249.99/£214.90 for the chrome version.
