Phanteks PH-TC12DX CPU Cooler

What are the dimensions of the PH-TC12DX’s heatsink?

Which motherboards are supported? 
Please refer to our compatibility guide

What is P.A.T.S and how does it work?
P.A.T.S (Physical Anti-oxidant Thermal Spray), a technology that increases the cooling performance and reliability by deflecting thermal radiation from other heat sources, such as the GPU, South Bridge, North Bridge and etc. In extreme conditions, P.A.T.S. is able to withstand temperatures of up to 200 degrees Celsius.

What is C.S.P.C. and how does it work?
Cold Plasma Spraying Coating Technology is a brand new technologic forming deposit that displaces heat onto corresponding metals at a quicker rate. This technology enhances thermal conductivity on the soldered surfaces of the heat-pipes through the copper deposits.

What is airflow and how does it affect cooling?
Airflow refers to the motion of air currents around an object as it moves through the air.  It’s not just about the number of fans you have. The right airflow design is just as important for effective cooling. Air cooling uses thermal convection to achieve a cooling effect meaning cool air must be sent into the cooler. Design of the cooler fins, depth of fins and the gaps between fin to fin are a major role that creates balance of air pressure and airflow. All of the factors must be precise in order to achieve the best airflow.

Where do thermal issues come from? 
Processors, Graphics cards, Memory, N bridge, S Bridge, MOS, FET and all other components inside your computer produces heat, this is where thermal issues arises from.  The more robust your system, the more heat is produced. 

Why is cooling important for my PC? 
Computer can generate a lot of heat. Heat is the number one nemesis of overclocking. Overclocking generally entails voltage increases. This consequently increases the production of heat. Since computer’s components were not designed for extra heat, many of them can fail. 

Do I really need to use the SoliSku?
Yes, this bracket is designed especially for the Intel LGA 1366/1155/1156/775/2011 socket motherboards. It is designed to protect and prevent any bending to the motherboard when pressure or weight is put on the motherboard.

Should I remove the Protective Film under the cooler? 
Yes, removal of protective film is required before installation. This protective film is only used for protection of the base when inside the box.

What does CFM refer to in regards to fans? 
CFM is an abbreviation for Cubic Feet per Minute which is a means to measure air flow. The higher the CFM figure, the more air the fan is moving.

What does dB refer to? 
dB is a logarithmic measurement unit that describes a sound's relative loudness. In sound, decibels generally measure a scale from 0 (the threshold of hearing) to 120-140 dB (the threshold of pain). A 3dB difference equates to a doubling of power. A 10dB difference is required to double the subjective volume.

How long is warranty for?
PH-TC12DX’s Warranty is for 5 years.
