Side by side, similarities can easily be drawn between the two Phanteks cooler. The obvious difference is the style of the cooler, the PH-TC14PE being the dual radiator one and the new PH-TC14CS being the top down C type cooler.


Here we have both with their fans attached.


Both coolers use the exact same radiators. For Phanteks, it’s a great way to cut costs but since we already know how efficient the heatsinks are, Phanteks saw little point in redesigning another.


Phanteks are the only company to deliver coolers in a plethora of colours. In total there are 5 variants, namely black, red, blue, silver and orange. The former three were sent to us to demonstrate how great they all look and how Phanteks aim to cater to people’s need.




For some strange reason, Phanteks bundled all white fans with the red variant of the cooler, and the black fans with the blue variant rather than the appropriate matching fans. Regardless, they are all winners in the aesthetic departments. I just hope Phanteks don’t have the same issues with their retail samples.
