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...

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...
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...

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...
Abstract: Phanteks originally launched their TC14PE heatsink to widespread acclaim. In this review we take a look at that iconic cooler alongside its newer TC12DX sibling to see how they stack up against comparably priced air and water cooling solutions....

After having the opportunity to handle quite a large number of heatsinks over the past couple of years, I've learned a lot about what works and what doesn't. I've had the opportunity to ponder and ask myself, "What if I were to take the best, most eff...
In my position as a reviewer and one that gets to get his hands on just about everything case and cooler related, I am really torn with this review. On one hand, I sort of expect new companies to bring forward something completely new, not something ...
