Phanteks PH-TC14PE

I have this on my previous PC and will be using it on my next build instead of a water cooler.

The installation is pretty standard, but one of the clips will not fit unless you orient it the way it's meant for that socket. This is the 2 side clips that you screw the metal piece to down it down.

Hard to explain, you'll see it when you install it.

Noise is low, fan is amazing and the cooling is amazing. Beats all other air cooler.
 
Top of the line high-end air cooler it beat even some 120mm AiO WC kits.. in many sites it keep performing as the best air cooler.
 
Remember to put the middle screw in the mount plate first before you bolt it down on each side. They have some great customer service and the warranty is super great. I loved the heat sink and especially the fans. But final went back to my trusty old Megashadow. They are all around 2-5 degrees of each other. Plus the smaller footprint was better on me in the end.
 
Thanks everyone for responding i was already pretty set on getting it but you reinforced my decision :)
 
The performance is outstanding. On my rig, temps are 3-5 degrees cooler than my previous Noctua D14. But what really sold me was the choice of colors (I chose blue) and that led to blue and white sleeved cables. Yeah, I got a bit carried away but what fun!
 
Yeah, you won't be disappointed. They are one of the best air coolers around. They also look really cool.
 
How does the PWM fan work ?

I see these are 3 wire fans, and there a adapter to PWM but can you adjust profile in MB bios and read rpm fine .

Cause in many new MB Z77/87 if you connect 3 wire fan to CPU header it runs 100% ,at least on Asus MB .
 
That is why I like using a fan controller. The 4 pin plug {PWM} is what allows the fans to speed up and slow down by setting it in the bios. Being it is a 3 pin plug it will reduce the voltage to slow it down. But maybe the settings on the board might help you out a little {Duty Cycle Settings}. Other then that buy 4 pin pwm fans. Or as always grab a nice fan controller and be happy.

ok, thanks . Are you using the PWM adapter , that is what I am curiuos about .

My MB (P8Z77v-pro does not support duty cycle on the CPU headers (there 2 4 pin headers for CPU fans).
Of course I can use other headers but you don't get the adjust options for them as there meant for only chassis fans .

your motherboard should support voltage regulation without any issue, it work with the manual fan profile, I use 3 Pin fans directly on my mobo and they run in normal operation at 1300RPM ranging up to 1700RPM..

my only controlled fans are chassis fans 2 and 3 and generally they do not hit their max speed (1800RPM).. and thats during high load.. for me work fine even in turbo mode the mobo manage good the voltage for fans, the only thing i noticed while using this fan control its the mobo temp are increased by 2-3C compared to leave the fan control disabled.

I love this heatsink.. looks good.. cools really well and is super quiet.

Yes, if you use the chassis fan headers but you don't get all options with chassis fan in manual mode like you do with CPU headers (you can't lower min % from 40% with chassis headers ) .
 
But, keep in mind, the thing is ginormous (though I absolutely love mine).

I managed to get mine in a Cooler Master HAF XB. If I would have put a top fan in then I couldn't have got the top on it though.
