The new G-Changer radiator generation from Phobya has arrived! Innovation and cooling performance are the main arguments for this
radiator! That's it? No! There is much more to this radiator when
looking closer:
The choice of material is the basis for any great radiator. Copper
fins and brass chambers are the traditional and proven materials for
radiators with outstanding performance. The whole radiator was coated
with a robust black lacquer. The fins are coated with a thinner layer to
improve the appearance without compromising cooling performance. The
Phobya logo was machined into the sides of the radiator to show that
this radiator is a serious heat exchanger.
Based on the right choice of material and design the Phobya engineers
have implemented many technologies to achieve outstanding cooling
performance. The first idea was that improved flow rates result in
improved cooling performance. Therefore the G-Changer series feature
parallel double cooling channels to greatly reduce flow resistance of
the radiator. The fin spacing and size was chosen to work efficiently
even with medium-speed and slow fans to achieve the best noise- to
performance ratio. The unique design of the fins of this 60mm thick heat
exchanger additionally allows great performance increases when using
High-powered fans which makes it extremely versatile and perfect for any
application!
What good is great performance if the radiator is a pain to install?
To make installation quick, easy and safe the engineers at Phobya came
up with another innovative concept: The radiator is equipped with
connection threads both on the front and bottom which greatly increases
the possible mounting locations of this radiator. The two included black
thread sealing plugs safely seal the two unused threads shut.
The
M3 threads in the sides of the radiator are another new feature which
promises greatly eased installation: These threads allow quick and rigid
installation of the radiator in 5,25" drive bays. For easy deaeration
of the radiator a bleeding screw was integrated at the highest point of
the back of the radiator. When filling the system simply open the screw
slightly until all air is bled from the radiator. Then screw the
cross-slotted screw in again and you are set to go with a completely
bled radiator!
The radiator is shipped with decouplers which can be inserted between
fan and mounting frame. When the mounting screws are fastened the
radiator and fan form a unit which directs Airflow directly onto the
fins which ensures the best possible cooling performance.
Completely black version:
A new feature of the
now completely black radiator are now the brass seal caps in black
nickel. The version 1.2 means that the sides are fixated by a more
complicated and better-looking process!

Attention:
The
reddish brown "stains" on the fins is no rust. Please note that this is
a copper radiator and the note: "The whole radiator was coated with a
robust black lacquer. The fins are coated with a thinner layer to
improve the appearance without compromising cooling performance.". The
lacquer coat is made from the same material, hence the reddish-brown
"stains".
Attention: The radiator can be damaged, if the screws are screwed too
deep. Please pay attention to the right length of the screws. The
screws do not have the same size in every delivery.
Note: To avoid storage or manufacture-related residues in the
circulation, Please rinse the radiator completely before assembling.
