Aiming to stamp its authority in another segment of the CPU cooling market, Phanteks has released a mid-range model in the PH-TC12DX. Does the dual fan PH-TC12DX have what it takes to shine in an overly-cramped market?
Utilising four 6mm heatpipes in a U-type arrangement, Phanteks' dual fan PH-TC12DX CPU cooler targets mid-range users who have a taste for aesthetics. Backed by a pair of equally striking 120mm – PH-F120HP – fans, the PH-TC12DX sets itself as a direct competitor to the likes of Thermaltake's Frio and Sapphire's Vapor-X. Phanteks is hoping that the patented P.A.T.S. and C.P.S.C. technologies employed by the PH-TC12DX are enough to set it apart from the relentless sea of competitors.
Shipping in black, blue, red and white colours, can Phanteks' PH-TC12DX prove that aesthetics and balanced performance aren't two mutually exclusive characteristics of a mid-range CPU cooler?

Excellent coolers, ive a few of them in my systems. this is another winner. up there with noctua
Only thing is their fans are not normally as good as Noctua’s. but these seem better
