Aquatuning introduced the Phobya G-Changer watercooling radiator series, you can get them in 120mm, 240mm and 360mm versions. Full details and specifications over here.
Radiators are the core of any watercooling system. Therefore Phobya has set simple yet important goals for its new radiator series: Better cooling performance, less flow resistance, easier mounting, more features and a huge extent of delivery. All these goals were achieved in the new G-Changer series.

The choice of material is the basis for any great radiator. Copper fins and brass chambers are the traditional and proven materials for radiators with outstanding performance. The frame construction was coated with a robust layer of high-grade lacquer. The fins are coated with a thinner layer to improve the appearance without compromising cooling performance. The whole radiator is surrounded by a shiny metal frame which gives a great overall appearance to the radiator. The Phobya logo was machined into the sides of the radiator to show that this radiator is a serious heat exchanger.

Based on the right choice of material and design the Phobya engineers have implemented many technologies to achieve outstanding cooling performance. The first idea was that improved flow rates result in improved cooling performance. Therefore the G-Changer series feature parallel double cooling channels to greatly reduce flow resistance of the radiator. Additionally the channels were sub-divided internally to increase the contact surface of the coolant in order to draw as much heat from it as only possible. The fin spacing and size was chosen to work efficiently even with medium-speed and slow fans to achieve the best noise- to performance ratio. The unique design of the fins of this 60mm thick heat exchanger additionally allows great performance increases when using High-powered fans which makes it extremely versatile and perfect for any application!
