Phanteks announces T30 120mm Fan and Glacier One 240 T30 AIO

Today, Phanteks announced its all-new T30 120 mm fan alongside an update to the already popular Glacier One series AIO CPU coolers. The new T30 120 mm fan ($29.99) features a mode switch that allows the user to select between three different fan configurations including Advanced Mode, Performance Mode, and Hybrid Mode. The Advanced Mode option is for extreme performance and allows the fan to spin up to 3000 RPM. The Performance Mode setting is used to accomplish a balance between performance and noise with a maximum fan speed of 2000 RPM. Finally, the Hybrid mode furthers noise reduction by allowing the fan to remain at 0 RPM until the PWM signal reaches 50%. The top speed for Hybrid Mode is set to 1200 RPM.

The Glacier One 240 T30 AIO CPU Cooler ($169.99) adds a pair of T30 120 mm fans to the already famous Glacier One AIO cooler. Below are some highlights from the Phanteks press release and product information sheets.

Rotterdam, The Netherlands – August 12th, 2021 – After years of development and rigorous testing, Phanteks today releases the ultimate T30-120 cooling fan alongside the new premium Glacier One 240T30 All-in-One Liquid CPU cooler. Developed in collaboration with SUNON, the Phanteks T30-120 fan brings unparalleled performance to PC cooling for any scenario. The new T30-120 fan incorporates the latest innovation in engineering with the premium LCP (Liquid Crystal Polymer) material to achieve unprecedented cooling performance and acoustics. With its builtin fan profiles and a wide RPM range, the T30-120 can be tuned for silent, balanced, or extreme performance operation via a simple switch. The new Glacier One 240T30 includes the new T30-120 fans and thicker 38mm radiator to deliver 360-sized performance in a 240mm form factor. The pump unit features the highly reliable Gen7 pump from Asetek with PWM control and an infinity mirror pump cap with tempered glass and aluminum panels.

T30-120 Ultimate Fan

Glass Fiber Reinforced LCP (Liquid Crystal Polymer) Material

Constructed from the absolute best glass fiber reinforced LCP (Liquid Crystal Polymer), the fan blades and frame are immensely rigid and durable. The T30-120 fan is build to last using the very best glass fiber reinforced LCP material for both frame and blades, instead of the regular PBT material that is used for most fans.

Optimal Aerodynamics

Thanks to the excellent material properties of LCP (Liquid Crystal Polymer) and high precision manufacturing, the T30 is designed with exceptional aerodynamic features. The T30’s fan blade tip has a continuous and small 0.5mm clearance (distance of the blade tip to the inner frame) to reduce turbulence and deliver unparalleled noise-normalized performance.

Increased Fan Thickness to 30mm with 25% Larger Fan Blades

The Phanteks T30-120 features a unique 30mm fan frame that results in a 25% larger fan blade. By increasing the total height of the T30-120 fan from the standard 25mm to 30mm the actual fan blades are 25% higher. This results in significantly higher airflow performance and a better airflow vs noise ratio.

These look to be very good, for sure. I wouldn't hesitate to use them but they wouldn't fit in my current build.Tom's mentions that they aren't all that "pretty" but that can be resolved through 3D printing some covers/caps/fandannas

These are definitely on my short list for my next build.

These made me look for 38mm thick Noctuas. Sadly, they are not a thing in 120/140 mm.

Toms hardware has a decent review of these.

Read that a few days ago, they look to be excellent fans for sure. Expensive, though.

I got my 5 pack of arctic p12s for $30 and they are supposed to perform similarly to noctua fans

You've got to look for industrial outlets to get 38mm thick fans again. Tempting to pick up some 3000 rpm 140x38mm Deltas and throttle them down.

Yep, Just have to watch the amps if plugging them into the mobo connectors. Some of those suckers are 3A per fan.

Time to hack some PSU peripheral modular connectors to Deans T-connnectors to power them! :D

That, or use multiple Fan hubs if you aren't comfortable hacking cables.

I put a SATA-powered 10 port fan hub in my last build and then added a 2nd 8-port Molex-powered hub just so I could split the load of 10 fans among two fan hubs. (Technically, only 9 fans on the hubs since the rear exhaust fan is connected to the mobo pwm connector)

Using two fan hubs also helped out with the cable management on the backside of the mobo tray in the case since I didn't have to route all the fan cables into one large "charlie foxtrot" of cables.

Might still want to keep an eye on the max current a fan hub can take.
