Now let’s see just how well the PH-TC14PE compares to other coolers. The results generated concentrated mostly at top of our charts battling against the likes of Noctua, Prolimatech and Thermalright. All the different fan configurations yielded very close results and as such matched the likes of the Prolimatech Genesis, Super Mega and Noctua. However, it is important to note that the Phanteks produced the same results as the Prolimatechs using lower RPM fans. In its stock configuration, the Phanteks cooler is comparable to the Noctua NH-D14. With a single fan, the Phanteks still kept up with the likes of the Thermalright Venomous X and even the default Silver Arrow setup. The most impressive results were yielded by the cooler running passively with no fans. These were comparable to the likes of the NH-C14, the ALC units and even bettered the Thermalright Archon in its out-of-the-box configuration.
