Phanteks PH-TC14PE CPU Cooler Review

 

Features and Specifications

Each color of the PH-TC14CS gets its own product page, very lavish. Here we have the information on the blue cooler’s product page.

 

 

First up is the introduction by Phantek:

Phanteks PH-TC14PE_BL ( Premium Edition ) twin tower thermal radiator design uses the latest aerospace technology. By using P.A.T.S to increase cooling performance and C.P.S.C Technology to enhance thermal conductivity, heat will easily dissipate, creating an opportunity for greater overclocking. Combined with Dual Phanteks PH-F140 Premium 140mm Fans, easy-to-install SoliSku mounting kit and PH-NDC thermal compound, Phanteks PH-TC14PE is setting the new standard of today’s CPU cooling.

 

The specs are very detailed!

Fits everything, weighs a fair bit, is not small, has an epic amount of surface area.

The fan airflow and pressure specifications look refreshingly honest, the fan noise spec I have a hard time believing. 19.6dB(a) is very quiet for a fan going over 1000rpm.  The PWM adaptor intrigues me, it’ll have to go on the oscilloscope for some electrical sniffing and then be torn apart for a visual inspection.

I think it’s about time for a page or three full of pictures, don’t you?
