The Phanteks PH-TC12DX is the first cooler by Phanteks that I have had the privilege of taking a look at. After the experience, I would have no problems recommending it as a great alternative to the OEM coolers many users use. The TC12DX is offered in fou...
While Phanteks PH-TC12DX did not manage to beat our reference coolers in tests, it doesn’t mean that it would be a bad cooler. The temperatures with PH-TC12DX were very reasonable and the differences between Noctua and Phanteks were negligible. 2c dif...
The Phanteks PH-TC12DX is a solid heatsink that is well built, comes in multiple colors and has thermal performance that rivals 120mm all-in-one water coolers. Making things even more impressive the TC12DX is less expensive than most AIO coolers, ...

Bottom line the Phanteks PH-TC12DX is priced right and has now moved to the top of my list with some of the best performing coolers at this price and size. Discuss in the Forum...
Speaking in absolute terms, Thermalright has set the bar quite high with its True Spirit cooler and the value it brings. With the True Spirit you would pay about one dollar for each degree of better performance when compared to the stock Intel cooler. On...
The Phanteks PH-TC12DX is a good CPU cooler, with a great look, high construction quality, and good performance.It is a lot smaller than the PH-TC14PE (which showed an incredible cooling performance on our tests), presenting, as expected, a little less pe...
