Review: Phanteks PH-TC14PE

Benchmarks: Core i7-3770K at 3.5GHz

You can debate build quality and presentation until the cows come home, but ultimately, it's performance that sets these coolers apart and the Phanteks is off to a flying start.

With our Core i7-3770K Ivy Bridge processor running at stock frequencies, the PH-TC14PE manages to keep temperature below 60ºC under extreme load. It's up there with the best we've seen and goes toe-to-toe with SilverStone's monstrous Heligon HE01.
