| With the PH-TC14PE, Phanteks
really shows a remarkable cooler. In terms of cooling capacity this
cooler has been able to set a benchmark for others to come. But it's not
only the performance that is on a very high level, also the build qulity
of the PH-TC14PE is excelent. Furthemore we also like that you can get
this cooler in five different colors, which are white, black, red, blue
and orange.

| The
installation process is easy and you can mount the cooler quickly. In fact we could mount it perfectly well without even looking at the manual. This means that unexperienced users should also have no problems installing this cooler. Furthermore
Phanteks provides mounting brackets for all recent Intel and AMD sockets which makes this cooler a good allrounder.

In our tests we used the two fans included in the package and also a third fan (same model, PH-F140). At 12V the fans are slightly noisy while to 7V are completely silent. With only one fan set at 7V we reached 67 °C on our CPU, but adding the other two fans the heatsink has reached the top of the chart. Excellent results in both situations, at 12V and 7V. The ambient temperature was 29° C.
