The RTX 4080 is a powerful graphics card and most air-cooled models are indeed massive, taking up a lot of space inside of PC cases. One way to shrink down the size of the graphics card and improve performance is to add a liquid cooling block. Today, Phanteks is announcing its new Glacier G4080 Asus GPU block, compatible with the Strix and TUF RTX 4080 graphics cards.
The Strix and TUF RTX 4080s each have bulky triple-fan coolers. The Glacier G4080 replaces this with a slimmer liquid cooling block, custom designed for Asus's custom Strix and TUF cards. The 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.
The full cover copper cold plate directly cools all memory and power delivery components on the PCB with high-quality thermal pads. The Glacier G4080 ASUS GPU Block also introduces some new features, such as a new fitting location to allow for better tube routing. To improve stability, a GPU support bracket is added to connect the water block to the rear PCI bracket so that the GPU is mounted more securely.
The Phanteks Glacier G4080 Asus GPU block will be available in Satin Black (£229.90), Matte White (£244.90) and Chrome (£244.90).
