Phanteks PH-TC14PE Dual Tower CPU Cooler Review

Packaging

The front of the PH-TC14PE’s box features a similar styling to that of which we saw when we took our first look at Phanteks with their PH-F140TS 140mm fans. The grey, black and white swirls make for an eye-catching design with glimpses of the 4 different coloured coolers available.

Moving on to the rear of the box, just as featured on the packaging of their 140mm fans, we see an advertising statement regarding the cooler in 10 different languages. The statement outlines some of the key features such as P.A.T.S and C.P.S.C technology.

The left panel is home to the key features and their allocated description as well as information about the mounting compatibility and thermal paste included; Phanteks’ own PH-NDC thermal compound.

An enormous list of specifications is present on the right side of the box. Information about the 171mm maximum height, 1250g weight and 5 year warranty are always welcomed to aid the consumer in their purchase decision.

The Intel “SoliSku” mounting kit consists of a thick and sturdy backplate including a pre-attached LGA 775 rubber spacer along with the necessary spacers, screws and clamps.

The AMD mounting kit features two brackets and the necessary screws and washers.

Phanteks supply a vast accessory package featuring 6 wire fan clips, 12 fan clip adapters, 6 anti-vibration rubber bars, 16 rubber acoustic dampers, a quiet speed adapter (Q.S.A.), 1 ‘Y’ fan splitter, a tube of their PH-NDC nano diamond thermal paste and the cooler’s mounting bar.

Two double-sided, lengthy and informative user manuals are provided, one for French and German speaking users, the other for Spanish and English speaking users.
