Optics and Connections of the PHANTEKS Glacier RTX 2080 / 2080Ti ASUS Strix Water Cooler
It is a full-block design that covers all relevant heat sources of the graphics card and thus effectively cools - so the GPU, the memory and the voltage converter. Nickel-plated copper and an optimized channel structure are used to optimally transfer the heat.

The lid is made of transparent acrylic glass in the middle and black aluminum on the outside. The connection terminal has four holes (G1 / 4-inch thread). Due to the flat design of the cooler, the connection of multiple graphics cards in a SLI network is easily possible.

The digitally addressable RGB LED lighting is equipped with the same RGB connectors used with other PHANTEKS products and can be controlled via the RGB LED control (if present) of a PHANTEKS enclosure. Via a 3-pin connector, the connection to corresponding motherboards is possible. Compatibility with the ASUS ROG Aura and MSI Mystic Light RGB LED headers is also available.

The sealing ring of the PHANTEKS Glacier RTX 2080 / 2080Ti ASUS Strix is made of high quality Viton. The material is also used in aerospace. It has a very high durability and is highly resistant to high temperatures and reactive liquids.

Why should I cool my graphics card with water?
Top performance in the graphics card segment continues to be paid for with equally top-class heat development. Because only if the clock screw turned to the stop and the calculation units are used to the last segment, the decisive advantage over the competing products can be achieved. Smaller structure widths and more efficient layouts can limit this problem, but not completely switch it off. Because the next generation is expected to be up to the maximum.

The problem is exacerbated by its own overclocking, because the temperatures can reach critical levels. In short: Anyone who also wants a low volume in game mode or even while playing Benchen and possibly wants to turn it on at the same time, can hardly avoid a water cooling system. In addition to the usual components (radiator, pump, expansion tank) of course this is a matching cooler for the NVIDIA Glacier RTX 2080 / 2080Ti ASUS Strix graphics cards necessary - as this model of the Wakü specialist PHANTEKS.

Note 1: For integration into the cooling circuit, connections are required that are not included in the delivery. The original cooler must be removed before installation, which invalidates the manufacturer's warranty!

Note 2: As compatibility with new graphics cards may increase and package sizes may change infrequently, please check the manufacturer's website to determine if you can use the PHANTEKS Glacier RTX 2080 / 2080Ti ASUS Strix waterblock and which accessories are included with the waterblock.

Note 3: No additional backplate is required for this Glacier GPU water cooler as the existing backplate of compatible graphics cards can be used!
