Phantek aio

Quick google looks like it Phanteks Glacier cools about the same as other similar CLCs, so should be fine for a few years, maybe more.

Cheers doyll it's going in a phantek p600s case with 3x140 be quiet silent wings 3 at front drawing in cool air so hopefully will be fine thanks for the reply
 
Interested to know how this performs. The AIO is the only non-phanteks item in my case and would absolutely love to get one, assuming it's alright, and link all the fans/lights together.

It's arrived and looks quite nice will update thread when fitted and tested
 
Will let you know when I've fitted it and played about it attaches to the cpu header according to instruction no external power needed so will be set in bios

Oh that's a shame.
That's exactly how my Thermaltake cooler is setup but the PWM control is less than ideal. I've found that I've had to set an aggressive curve in the BIOS which makes idle noisy. Corsair nailed the solution by having a USB3 header connected to the pump, which is what I feel newer AIOs lack.
 
I'll let you know how it goes I'd it's to loud it will be sent back but the review I read praised the quietness

Well initial thoughts are it is noisier than my dark rock 4 air cooler that had 2 fans on and i didnt need to set a fan curve its not overly loud but it can be heard where as before my pc was silent on a plus side I can't hear the pump looking at setting a fan curve but might get me another 2 be quiet silent wing 3 120 mm and try them with the one I've got to see if that helps temp wise whilst gaming doesn't go above 60 and idles at 30

Assuming you didn't change fan curve Glacier One fans will running much faster at 50% than DR4 fans were, so definitely louder.
Dark Rock 4 has 2x 1400rpm fans, 50% speed is 700rpm.
Glacier One has 3x 2200rpm fans, 50% speed is 1100rpm.
3x fans are 1.8dB louder than 2x of same fan at same speed. Human ear needs about 3dB change to hear it.
But new fans running 400rpm faster will also be much louder, like 15-18dB louder, plus 2dB for 3rd fan is 20dB assuming they are actually runnng at same percentage to temp ratio as DR4 was.

My guess is Glacier One fans are quite good fans, but probably need slowing down. Then they will much quieter. ;)

Dark Rock 4 has 2x 1400rpm fans while Glacier One has 3x 2200rpm fans. 3x fans make about 2dB more noise than 2x of same fan, but 2dB isn't much. But at 50% speed your DR4 fans were at 700rpm, Glacier One fans at 50% are running 1100rpm. That is 400rpm faster so definitely much louder.

I would adjust fan curve to lower them to at least similar speeds as your DR4 was running. You can probably run them even slower and have similar temps. ;)

Cheers mate yeh ive split the pump and fan headers now so the pump is on cpu header fans are on opt header so can adjust fans but leave pump alone to do it's thing
 
I edited my post while you posted.

Glacier One fans are PH-F120MP V2. V2 is 2200rpm version while originals I have used manu of are 1800rpm. I haven't used new 2200rpm ones but no reason they shouldn't be as good ro better than orginials.

I was eyeing this cooler also - btw hows the 'infinity' thing look? ... I wanted to get this cooler and put some rgb fans on it. I mainly liked the look of the cooler.

It actually looks quite good to be honest easy to fit aswell was thinking of changing fans myself to Rgb but going to see if I can get a good fan curve first and have a play about to see what the best setting is for it doyll give me some sound advice which I'm going to try the pump is quiet so just the fan curve to sort
