Abstract: Almost three years ago we upgraded our testbed built on an LGA 775 Intel Core 2 Extreme Q9650 processor with a new LGA 1366 platform with an Intel Core i7-920 CPU, which another 18 months later was replaced with a much hotter Intel Core i7-980X Extreme...
Well, despite this being the first product from Phanteks, it certainly looks like they already have a winner on their hands. The design of the CPU cooler is exactly what you'd expect out of a tower style cooler and it's great to see that Phanteks has incl...
Abstract: A lot of people think it’s a little odd that I happen to be Hi Tech Legion’s “cooling guy”. I mean, really, cooling isn’t something people typically get overly excited about, but you need to understand some things. After my parents pitched me over the ...
Phanteks PH-TC14PE is a typical super-cooler with all features typical of a product of this class. It is very large in size, heavy, completely universal and expensive, but at the same time remarkably efficient and moderately noisy. If we do not take i...
The Phanteks PH-TC14PE is a solid performing but massive cooler, and an awesome first offering to the cooling world. If you are in the market for a high end air cooler, and have a case that can handle it the put the Phanteks PH-TC14PE on the short li...

Large Footprint May Be a Difficult Fit In Some Cases, AMD Kit May Include Incorrect Screws, Hi Tech Legion Editor's Choice Award
Which came first, the chicken or the egg? Some say that the PH-TC14PE is a copy of another top flight cooler, but Phanteks happens to be an OEM manufacturer in the same part of the world. The PH-TC14PE certainly looks and, more importantly, feels of th...
Right so I've got money on you all being here to see if we have a new king of cooling, well the answer is basically... No not in our testing. The Phanteks only really pulled ahead in the most extreme of tests. In the tests that load the cooler in the way...
Build Quality, Best Air CPU Cooler To Date (The Danamics LMX Is No Longer Sold), Installation Procedure, 4 Different Colors To Choose From, TriFan Solution, Patented Technologies (P.A.T.S / C.P.S.C)
Price (For Some), Slightly Louder Than The Direct Competition
Phanteks caught many people off guard since no one really expected for the PH-TC14PE to outperform both the NH-D14 by Noctua and the Silver Arrow by Thermalright. Personally i would really be surprised if Phanteks managed to surpass both mentio...
Being an air cooling monster like the offering from Noctua, the NH-D14, it weights 970g without any fan installed, 1100g with one fan and 1250g with both fans installed. The heatsink can be found in different colors: silver, blue, orange or red. The f...
This was the first product of the new manufacturer, and what an entry to the market it is! They've really done their homework with the cooler, because there really is nothing to improve. In performance it's competing with the best air coolers on the m...
