phobya 360ltb

   When i informed some people (industry contacts) a while back that we were expecting a complete watercooling kit/loop by Phobya i didn't receive the best response since many of them told me that Phobya products are not quite on par to others from more well established manufacturers like XSPC, Alphacool and EKWB so although i always like to make up my own mind regarding a product that did raise some flags. Well after having tested the 360LT by Phobya quite thoroughly and for roughly 3 weeks now i see that my information was wrong (or was perhaps right for other models by Phobya i really can't say) since not only the quality is high but also because we were impressed by the looks and performance of the kit. XSPC with their RayStorm 750 RX360 V.3 kit still leads our charts with a very small gap from the Phobya 360LT kit but performance aside both kits are more than enough to cover even the most demanding users. Another positive thing about the 360LT kit is the pump since it's inaudible even from just 50cm away so that was a pleasant surprise after the somewhat loud Laing pump of the Alphacool kit.


   Right now the 360LT Pure Performance Kit by Phobya retails for 174.99Euros by Aquatuning Germany but unfortunately we were unable to locate it for sale in the USA so unless we missed something the only way out is getting it from the EU. That being said the price tag is a little higher than what we had hoped for (still less compared to the Alphacool NexXxoS Cool Answer 360 DDC/XT Watercooling Set) but the 360LT does very well in terms of performance and looks better than most similarly priced kits out there. As for the missing hardware parts we were assured that this was an isolated incident so we will not be deducting any points for that (still if you receive the same kit and you are also missing those parts feel free to email us so we can change our conclusion). In all the Phobya 360LT watercooling kit is a very good choice for enthusiasts, professionals, gamers and even just very demanding users alike and that's why it gets our Platinum Award.
