First up on our list we have the new Phanteks Shift XT, which can now fit an optional (sold separately) QHD display in the front panel of the case. While the display is high resolution, it is also quite small, but it could be handy for displaying custom images or hardware monitoring tools if you need to keep an eye on system temperatures.
While the Shift XT is interesting, Phanteks has something even bigger up its sleeve with the new NV7 chassis. This case has been designed from the ground up to highlight system components, using a strong, defining outer frame that accentuates the hardware inside. It is a really clean-looking case that would be perfect for those who put a lot of effort into aesthetics while building a system.
We also have the new Eclipse G300A, which is a smaller case but thanks to its mesh front panel, you'll still be able to get plenty of cooling for high-end components.
Phanteks is also debuting its new Revolt SFX 850 Platinum PSU, which is ATX 3.0 compliant, making them ready for new generation graphics cards like the RTX 40 series.
On the cooling front, Phanteks has a bunch on display at CES this year, including a new range of Phanteks Polar Air Coolers, with 4 & 5 heatpipe designs in single and dual-tower heatsink options too. There are also two new Glacier One T30 AIO liquid coolers, available in 240mm and 360mm radiator configurations, with the new Asetek Gen8 pump and an RGB-lit CPU block. The new radiators are thicker than the previous generation and the new T30 fans deliver high air pressure to move air through the radiator at up to 3000RPM.
If you are looking to upgrade your case fans, the new D30-120 fans can be chained together for easy installation and they also offer smooth RGB lighting throughout the fan blades. Once all put together and set up, they look very clean and might be some of the nicest RGB fans on the market.
There's also new custom liquid cooling gear, including new Glacier water blocks for new-gen graphics cards, a new Glacier R260 pump/reservoir combo with a D5 pump inside, and a new C370 CPU block with PLA material, allowing for diffused RGB lighting through the block.
