Phanteks PH-TC14PE Dual Tower CPU Cooler Review

Multiple Fan Configuration TemperaturesWe will repeat the load tests with our CPU at stock speed and overclocked, but this time we will use high powered 1850RPM Scythe AP-15 fans in push-pull configuration. This test will show the heatsink’s true potential with fans that perform excellently on heatsinks and radiators. It will also outline whether or not the bundled fans are offering acceptable performance. Since Phanteks’ PH-TC14PE supports the use of triple fan configurations, we will also test the cooler using three Phanteks PH-F140TS 140mm 1200RPM fans.

We can see that the heatsink offers decent performance when dual 1850RPM Scythe AP-15 fans are equipped. Just over 1^oC is shaved off the CPU temperature with both overclocked tests. The triple fan configuration also offers a performance increase, sporting the lowest CPU temperature and best cooling potential of all 3 fan configurations.
