Phanteks Glacier R160 and R220 reservoirs have RGB LEDs

Posted on Thursday, December 21 2017 @ 17:00 CET by Thomas De Maesschalck
Here we have two new products from Phanteks that will hit the scene in February 2018. These are two water reservoirs with an acrylic top, a nickel-plated copper plate to ensure single metal contact with the coolant, and aluminium fins for passive cooling. The reservoir also has a DDC pump mount so it's possible to use it as a pump/reservoir combo.

As with a lot of new gear, this product comes with integrated RGB LEDs that can be controlled via motherboard solutions like ASUS Aura, MSI Mysic Light and Gigabyte RGB Fusion.

The retail pricing will be $89.99 for the R160 and $109.99 for the R220.
Phanteks today announces two premium liquid cooling products to the Glacier Series. Inspired by the creation of water distribution plates in the modding community, the R160/R220 are developed to showcase and highlight the liquid element of your build.

DESIGNED TO IMPRESS
The R160/R220 features polished acrylic, sandblasted aluminum heatsink, and integrated high intensity RGB lighting to create a custom design reservoir. The large surface area and routing design gives the reservoir a unique look and stands out from the standardized reservoirs in the market.

FLEXIBLE AND VERSATILE
The R160/R220 is designed to be versatile and flexilble, from mulit-ports to fill and drain to easy installation with multiple orientations thanks to an included mounting bracket that fits on any 120 or 140 mm fan.

PERFORMANCE
The reservoirs are optimized to allow for better performance with unique heatsinks that help dissipate heat from the pump and coolant. Besides the aesthetics, the reservoirs make filling the loop easier and removes air bubbles from the loop. The reservoir is an element in water-cooling which users want to proudly present. Phanteks designed the R160 and R220 to bring them a step closer to achieving a custom build that will differentiate them from the rest.
