Phobya Radiator Stand - Black - 2-Way Double - 2x120mm "Bench Edition"
Imagine your external set together so as they want, with the new state "Bench Edition" from the home Phobya!
Black Painted bright, the fairing design, and embedded in Hexx Phobyalogo then presents the basic framework of your new external sets. The possible combinations of obstructions to water cooling components are as varied as the range of individual products!
The Phobya Radiator Stand offered in several versions, designed for up to 3x 360mm radiator, this can alternatively 9x 120mm radiators as Phobya the 1080 NOVA are used, or .. for 2x 240mm radiators, alternatively 4x 120mm Quad radiators
What could make this radiator brackets so unique in the details:
Pump are one of the items here can be installed separately. Outside or inside, depending on how you put together their set. The recessed M4 holes allow the combination with various decoupling and pump types.
Pump compatibility with pre fixing screws including: Laing DDC, Laing D5, Eheim 1046 (HPPS, Aquastream, Watercool 12V), Eheim 1048, Magicool 12V, Phobya DC 260 & DC 400, EK-DCP and 2.2 DCP 4.0
Expansion Tank can on the side of the pump as well as those to the opposite side. Here again there is the possibility of internal or external mounting. On the Conditions page were also admitted wells, something bigger M6. By the selected hole pattern is an easy assembly of Others following containers possible: Alphacool Cape Coolplex Corp., EK Water Blocks EK Multi option, Innovatek Tank-O-Matic, Koolance Reservoir, Reservoir LUND, Magicool Plexiac, Phobya Balancer and XSPC Passive tanks.
Fillports facilitate the filling of the system and also look good yet! The opening of 1 inch, 2.54 cm, is compatible with virtually all offered Fillports!
Hose connectionis on an external set is always a sticking point. Here, the state Phobya Radiator several ways. Thus, the hose simply pass through the 18mm hole. Another possibility is a bulkhead quick to use, the system can possibly be separated from leakage. Also through bulkhead fittings, couplers & nipples could, valves or ball valves, various other options are found here the transition to the computer to be held.
Power supply is similar to the tubes is another interesting point. The many different Phobyaadapter and extensions could all be connected to a power supply cable, and so by the state, one each side are two holes, the other is a kind of slot, will be guided through the slot. Another possibility is to use a little extra power supply from your home Phobya (article number: 84 006) which is connecting to the computer internal power supply does not need.
Feet with the mounting holes enable easy on the feet of extra laminate flooring or package or a simple decoupling of the entire system. Also a fixed mounting on the wall or hang upside down at the desk is possible.
This is just a sample of what is possible! Attentive to discover many more customers with security was not thought of combinations of products can be mounted to the. Bottom line may be said: A simple installation of a water cooling is hardly possible!

Phobya Xtreme Quad 480 Radiator Kit Review
by Dark Mantis
The item I am reviewing here this time is an external radiator kit from Phobya the well known watercooling company.The concept is great and is an excellent way of keeping the majority of your watercooling loop and components outside of the computer case. There is obviously a benefit there if any leaks happen as they should be well away from your expensive electical/electronic hardware. Also very useful for people with small cases where the internal real estate is at a premium. It is supplied in two boxes with the usual Phobya logo and branding on them. One contains the housing, fans and odds and ends and the other the radiator.
On unboxing the larger of the two containers first, the housing is found to be solidly made out of 1.5 mm thick mild steel with a gloss black powder coated finish. This is done to a high standard and the unit I had for review was without any blemishes. The construction of this chassis is done as much as possible by bending which is better and more cost effective than welded seams. Also in this box were the four Phobya G-Silent 12 1500 rpm Red LED fans.
These are 120 mm fans which as you have already probably guessed have a top speed of 1500 rpm. They are built with a clear chassis with red blades. The blades simply pull out of the centre hub making cleaning much easier rather than having to dismantle the whole structure. An excellent idea. They have a low starting voltage of 5v, so a slow speed startup is possible if a fan speed controller is fitted. For 120 mm fans they are fairly quiet, rated at 25.5 dB/A, even at top speed at which they shift a very respectable 58 cfm of air each. Thats 232 cfm when working together. Another nice feature is that the cables are all braided in white with matching heatshrink terminating in standard 3 pin fan connectors.
Whilst still looking at the contents of the large box there is a four into one Phobya branded braided Y-cable to make it possible to connect up all four fans to one header with the obvious proviso that the header is powerful enough to handle the load.The one provided with this kit was 600 mm long and a dark red braided cable but others are available if some other colour was required. Three of the four outputs are only two wire even though they are into a standard three wire female socket. The forth is for the speed control feedback and as such has three wires and is marked as such.
In the second and slightly smaller box was the almost square radiator and a 2.5 mm thick sheet aluminium faceplate to enable mounting of the fans on all four corners of each. The ports on the radiator are standard 1/4" BSPP with fitted plastic stoppers to keep out any stray particles. They are both fitted on one end and spaced at 120 mm centres. The radiator is covered by a three year warranty from Phobya.Included are 16 M3 bolts for fastening the fans and four M3 bolts for fixing the radiator to the housing. Overall sizing is 262 x 240 x 45 mm.
Back to the housing again and on the top there is a 1" pre dilled hole for a fill port if required. Each side has many pre drilled holes of various sizes and combinations to enable easy fitting of any extra devices such as pumps and reservoirs. On the bottom of each side are two large 18 mm holes for pipework to pass through. One is two single holes and the other is a pair of holes connected by a slot. I did find that as I was using 10 mm ID 13 mm OD tubing that there was room to insert grommets first to stop any chaffing of the tubes. At the opposite end I installed a pair of bulkhead connectors to make fitting and dismantling easier. I was trying to get some quick disconnects for this use but was unable to get the ones I wanted in time.
The front and top both display a raised Phobya logo above a 250h x 240w mm hexagonal meshed area.
I tried various different configurations to see which worked best with my components and eventually ended up with the radiator fitted inside with the ports at the bottom and the reservoir over the pump on the left hand side externally. I used an Alphacool VPP655 variable speed pump and an Alphacool Cape Fuzion Core 10 Acetal Reservoir. The fittings were all Phobya Black Nickel and were nice quality.
To test the performance of the kit as a whole I hooked it up to my Gigabyte GA-P67A- UD5 and Intel 2500K CPU. Initially I just tried running it at stock speed and at idle it maintaned a 25C level with an ambient of 22.8C. Once I started up Prime95 and left it running for a few minutes after which I checked again and it still kept it to under 45C.
In conclusion the kit is well made and designed, easy enough to construct with very many mounting options available. If I were to find fault with anything it would have to be the use of M3 bolts as I am not a lover of these and prefer the more standard M4 and it would have been nice to have included a rear faceplate to match the front to just finish the unit off and stop any stray items from hitting the fans etc. whilst still allowing the airflow.
Overall an excellent kit and well priced as it works out to be somewhat cheaper to purchase like this than seperately. I award this 9/10.
