Phanteks PH-TC12LS CPU Cooler Review – Quiet and Low-Profile Ready

REPORT ANALYSIS AND FINAL THOUGHTS

In our review of the Phanteks PH-TC14S, we said that, “with each product of theirs we come into contact with, we start to see just how passionate they are about what they do.” After spending time with the PH-TC12LS, we stand by that original statement. It seems as though everything they do is topnotch, in terms of quality and performance.

Sure, this isn’t a high-end air cooler meant for enthusiast level overclocking, not by any means. However, for those looking for a cooling solution that can fit in even the smallest of cases, without compromising too much on cooling performance, this is a real contender. Whether you’re looking for a cooler for your new Mini-ITX gaming build, or a relatively quiet option for your HTPC. This cooler will meet your needs, and then some.

It isn’t without its faults, the mounting cutout placement we mentioned earlier could definitely be better, but this is a relatively small issue, especially when you consider that most will install this cooler once and never take it out of their system, until it is time for an upgrade.

If you’re in the market for a low-profile CPU cooler, you should definitely give the Phanteks PH-TC12LS a real hard look. For that, we award it our Technology X Silver Seal!
