Phanteks Launches TC14S Slim Dual-tower CPU Cooler

[AlRayes_BRN]

Phanteks announces the release of the PHTC14S. A slim dual tower CPU cooler designed from the concept of the PH-TC14PE.

 

The PH-TC14S incorporates the dual tower and performance from the PH-TC14PE but in a slimmer form. PH-TC14S’s slim form elminates any conflicts with high RAM and VRM modules in newer motherboards. The six 6mm nickel plated heatpipes with the slim aluminum fins improves heat distribution and creates better thermal convection resulting in immediate cooling.

 

 

Standing only 6.3 inches in height and 2.83 inches in width, the PH-TC14S follows INTEL’s Keep-Out-Zone. Thanks to the slim design, compatiblity issues of high RAM and VRM modules are non-exsistent. PH-TC14S uses Phanteks’ patented P.A.T.S. technology which has been proven to withstand high temperatures and increases cooling performance by reflecting thermal radiation from other heat sources.

 

The PH-TC14S includes the new seven blade PH-F140HP II PWM High Static Pressure fan with MVB II. The PH-TC14S also comes with the Solisku Bracket, a easy to install bracket that allows for a direct contact with the CPU and compatible with AMD and INTEL sockets.

The recommended retail price is PH-TC14S_BK - $49.99

Hmm... The pricing's Ok I guess, it'll all come down to performance though, hopefully it does relatively well.

LOL people still use Air Coolers?

[WereCat]

LOL people still use Air Coolers?

Yes. Why shouldnt they? I prefer good air cooler over AIO any day.

[ZeroKoolGuy]

Yes. Why shouldnt they? I prefer good air cooler over AIO any day.

 

LOL okay.

[MonkeyFace]

LOL people still use Air Coolers?

 

Good air coolers are quieter than AIOs out of the box...so yeah, people still use them.

Good air coolers are quieter than AIOs out of the box...so yeah, people still use them. 

Also, an air cooler just makes more sense in a lot of situations.

[carolkarine]

LOL people still use Air Coolers?

 

yes, they're much less prone to failure, especially in a system where you'll be running it for long periods of time.

 

 

Yes. Why shouldnt they? I prefer good air cooler over AIO any day.

 

also, something like the NHD-15 or the Dark Rock Pro 3 compete with 240mm rad AIO's.

 

 

LOL okay.

 

don't be an ass. it's unbecoming.

[VulsaviiK]

LOL people still use Air Coolers?

 

Even crazier, there's even newcomers to the market. People have their reasons for buying them

[Mooshi]

@ZeroKoolGuy Noctua backhands many AIO units as does some other tower coolers, the only justification to even get an AIO in the first place is aesthetics or if you're using really small case (or one with poor support for a real tower cooler) and an AIO is the only real higher performance option. Unless it's a full system loop for some crazy high overclock and you have some graphics cards that put out more heat than all the AMD jokes put together, liquid cooling is kind of pointless and impractical. It's pretty to look at, but that's about it.

I assume you are the same types of old "nerds" who use Mechanical Hard Drives (Have not used since they invented the SSD), Optical Drives, (Have not used since they invented the Flashdrive), and probably use 32-bit OS (Have not used since we all switched to 64 long ago). So yeah as someone who configures a shit ton of High-performance Gaming System's, Workstations and Server System's for Small-Medium Businesses, Large Offices, Educational, Medical (Over 300 System's last month), etc it just does not make sense to me. If you are going to OC, then use a good Corsair H-series AIO. If not, the stock Intel Heatsink is fine for the lifespan of the product. Of course most of you use AMD which have serious quality control issues and thermal design inferiority, degrade at considerable rate versus Intel chips. So I guess I should not be surprised LOL.

Listen, I was not being super serious just making a jest. It was in bad taste but now that you all freaked out I figured I would explain my position.

Engage the flaming AirCooler Fanboys. Again though, I was only semi-serious. Should have just refrained from commenting but can't take it back so will trudge forward.

Oh also, Noctua has about the worst Product Support, and Availability in the business. For those of us who do this for a living, we just can not use Noctua. At least not for those of us here in the US (Biggest Market $-wise).

That is so far from the truth it hurts. I have used hundreds of both, and supported them. This is just WRONG. I have to RMA 3x Corsair H-series out of the hundreds we have used. I have had to RMA dozens of Aircoolers. So yeah. Nice try spouting baseless BS there bud. It don't fly with me.

No one is being an ass, it is just that unlike you I speak from EXPERIENCE. I don't just run around the internet READING about others' experience. Whatever, think what you want I am just stating my opinion, based on my years and years of experience. Maybe you should try actually doing something instead of just reading benchmarks, and write-ups from noob reviewers who don't actually have much experience. I know I am speaking to an empty forum here as you are all pretty much the same type of people who just read about stuff and watch review video's instead of actually getting a job building System's or servicing them but I am just, "keepin' it real." Hopefully, people won't buy into the whole "Aircoolers are still awesome even though the Technology is ancient".

 

I think it is hilarious how everyone praises Noctua and acts like they are the best thing ever because of a few benchmarks that don't really mean anything IRL. How about the fact you can't ever buy more than a few units at a time? If even that. Only .00001% of the market assembles their own System's. Do you understand that? We (those who build our own System's) are so far in the minority it is not even funny. Meanwhile, any noob can walk into Fry's, Best Buy, etc and grab a Corsair H80i or such. Factor that in or you are just being naive. And while you are at it, factor in that it is nearly impossible to get support for Noctua products in the US. Which is where most of the money is.

That is just pure ignorance in your comment. You are just assuming that people you are writing to are here just for tech while bnever done anything ... Everyone has different experiene. And he said Noctua as an example .. there is still a lot of other products that are very good. Noctua is just more widely known.

In all honesty, you act like a teenager going through puberty with excessive mood swings and attitude and definitely not an IT professional. Please act your own age, I mean come on, you are use words like "old nerds, noobs, keepin it real"

 

And then bash on AMD, which most of us don't actually use.

"Of course most of you use AMD which have serious quality control issues and thermal design inferiority, degrade at considerable rate versus Intel chips. So I guess I should not be surprised LOL."

And forget that Intel was actually behind AMD in performance and power efficiency, albeit a time ago, but you seem completely ignorant of this fact.

 

This entire post is cringe worthy.

I am right because I spew a lot of words.

Ok.

[Sintezza]

LOL people still use Air Coolers?

 

lol and you still using an aircooler too?

Your post is so full of shit and ignorance that I stopped at the half and moved on.

LOL Okay kid. How many system's have you built? 10? 50? 100? I have built and supported THOUSANDS. Come on.
