Introduction
Phanteks has recently started to branch out with more products to add to their already popular name; they have set a standard in the cooling market with some of today’s top performing air coolers. The quality and superb performance reputation they have built, helps keep the air cooling market competitive and creates a leveled playing field with other top contenders like Noctua, be quiet!, NZXT and Cooler Master.
In the past, we have seen some pretty unique air coolers from Phanteks. With features from beefy tower style coolers to color matching heatsinks, Phanteks has a style that fits everyone’s needs. Today…we are going to be looking at 2 new coolers that not only looks aesthetically pleasing, but have a price point that can fit anyone’s budget. We have for you today the Phanteks PH-TC12LS and Phanteks PH-TC14S.

Our goal is very simple, to be the best in the industry.”
Moving on, let’s first look at the package and specifications of both Phanteks Coolers.
The Phanteks PH-TC14S at load overclocking was far from bad. It also does look nice. Definitely a cooler I would consider.
Review would have been more helpful if the TC12LS was compared to a more similar established cooler like the Prolimatech Samuel.
Hi Dave, Unfortunately, due to the nature of hardware advancements, sometimes we don’t always have every cooler available to compare. What we do is compare to coolers that we (or the reviewer) have already tested on the same platform so we can keep data consistent. However, we do understand where you are coming from and as we continue to grow our data base we will be sure to add similar products for comparison in the future.
Thanks!

So would either of these be a good value to pair with my FX-6300 CPU then? I have a Deepcool Assassin on it now, but it’s just a tad HUGE, lol.
I think either of these would work on an FX6300 at stock. If you start overclocking I would stick with the Assassin. I have one too, using it on an A10-6800k APU
Is it compatible wit AM1 socket??my motherboard MSI AM1 l
i mean PH-TC12LS..is it compatible with AM1 socket (AMD Kabini)
