Phanteks EZ-Fit System – The Complete Water-Cooling Package

We’ve all seen those impressive custom gaming PCs, decked out with water cooling loops. Well, with the Phanteks EZ-Fit system, building your own water-cooled gaming PC is nice and easy to achieve.

The Phanteks EZ-Fit system provides you with everything you need to build a high-performance cooling solution, from CPU and GPU blocks to tubing and fittings!

It’s a Block Party

The stars of the show are the two water blocks. First up is the Phanteks Glacier EZ-Fit 450CPU block, which is for cooling your processor. This amazing piece of hardware boasts a 100% pure copper cold plate, with a fin array made up of 0.15mm fins. This offers a huge surface area to dissipate heat into your coolant of choice.

Phanteks has encased the cold plate in a POM body, providing a fantastic view of your coolant flow. Plus, with a few cheeky RGB LEDs housed here, you can turn your CPU into the center point of a visually stunning PC.

The second cooling block is the Phanteks Glacier G40 ASUS GPU block. I’ll give you three guesses what this one is for. The G40 has been custom designed for ASUS ROG Strix and TUF Gaming RTX 4090 graphics cards.

These powerhouse GPUs are known for being a tad bit toasty, but you can easily tame those thermals with the Phanteks Glacier EZ-Fit G40 ASUS GPU block. The cold plate is milled from a 10mm copper block, so the G40 can directly cool the GPU die, its memory, and power delivery. This plate boasts a fin array made up of 0.6mm fins, with a jet plate positioned directly over the die for maximum heat dissipation.

The cold plate is sandwiched between an anodised aluminium backplate and acrylic front plate. With this back plate, the rear of your GPU will also be directly cooled, further enhancing its performance. Meanwhile, the clear acrylic plate channels your coolant through the block and the integrated RGB lighting illuminates it, to create a visually stunning effect.

Can I Get That as a Combo?

Next, we have the Phanteks Glacier EZ-Fit 140RES-D5 pump and reservoir combo. This unit consists of a 210ml reservoir and a D5 pump, all contained in an acrylic body, perfect for delivering all the coolant you could ever want.

What’s even better about the 140RES-D5 is how versatile it is. The mounting system offers multiple installation options, thanks to its innovative mounting bracket. Install the 140RES-D5 anywhere you can position a 120mm or 140mm fan – even on top of the fans or radiators themselves! Furthermore, routing pipes to and from the 140RES-D5 is made nice and simple, as it offers multiple ports on the sides for easy access.

Much like the CPU and GPU blocks, the body of the 140RES-D5 is constructed from a clear plastic, featuring multiple LEDs. This, again, allows you to see your coolant flowing into the reservoir and exiting through the pump. All lit up by your favourite lighting effects.

Keeping it Chill

So, those were the showpieces of the Phanteks EZ-Fit system, but there’s much more to see. A cooling loop needs a way to dissipate heat, otherwise it’ll eventually just become overloaded and your hardware will throttle. Luckily, the Phanteks EZ-Fit system includes a premium radiator perfect for cooling your loop.

The core of the Phanteks Glacier EZ-Fit 360RAD-30 consists of around a dozen H90 copper tubes. Attached to these in a single wave pattern is an array of copper fins, with a density of nineteen fins per inch. All this is encased in a sturdy steel frame that protects the delicate core from damage and provides the mounting points for securing the radiator in place.

All the Small Things

Now, how do you get coolant flowing from one component to another? With pipes of course! The Phanteks EZ-Fit system boasts not one but two different types of tubing to create a loop. These are the Glacier EZ-Fit 16 PVC soft tubing and Glacier EZ-Fit 16 HI-PMMA hardline tubing. Having both options enables a wider range of people to get into building their own cooling loops. If you’re a novice, you can start out with the PVC, which is easy to cut, and you don’t really have to worry about bending it.

The hardline tubing is for those more confident in their skills. The High-Impact PMMA is an easier to work with material than others, but still requires some skill to cut it to the correct length and create the perfect bends. Even better, the EZ-Fit Tool Set, has everything you need to cut and form your pipes, save for a heat source. This set includes a tube cutter, three bending guides, a bending insert, sandpaper, 24-pin jumper, and a squeeze bottle.

Each of the EZ-Fit system core components come equipped with integrated fittings. But, what if you want to use a different component or change the colour scheme of your gaming PC? Then you’ll need fittings that are compatible with Phanteks hardware. That’s where the Glacier EZ-Fit F16G1/4 fittings come in. With these, you can upgrade any hardware that boasts a G1/4 5mm thread to be compatible with Phanteks EZ-Fit components. They are also compatible with both soft and hard tubing with a 16mm outer diameter.

The Whole Package

Now, you can go full Wilko Pick’n’Mix with this amazing hardware, or you can choose from one of the two pre-packaged water-cooling kits.

The Phanteks EZ-Fit 360 D30-Kit consists of a 450CPU block, 140RES-D5, 360RAD-30, three powerful D30 fans, multiple HI-PMMA tubes, a length of PVC tubing, and a Tool Set. Everything an enthusiast needs to build a custom loop.

Meanwhile, the EZ-Fit 360 Soft-Kit contains the same components, minus the hardline tubing, bending tools, and fans. An excellent selection of hardware, ideal for first-time builders.
