Phanteks PH-TC90LS Low Profile CPU Cooler Review @ Hi Tech Legion

The Phanteks PH-TC90LS CPU Cooler is a low profile cooler aimed squarely at meeting the needs of the small form factor builder. With an overall height of 45mm with the fan installed, the Phanteks PH-TC90LS comes in under the ~50mm mark we normally see as a limitation in HTPC builds. However, small stature does not leave the PH-TC90LS short on features and cooling performance. The PH-TC90LS incorporates the same technologies we have seen in Phanteks larger builds and retains their P.A.T.S. and C.P.S.C. technologies. Somehow, Phanteks has managed to pack three 6mm heat pipes into the PH-TC90LS, attached to a nickel-plated copper cooling block and aluminum fins. A 92mm 1000-2500rpm PWM fan provides the air movement, and does it quietly, topping out at 26 dBA. To further aid in noise reduction, rubber vibration damping is used to isolate the fan. The PH-TC90LS comes with a 5-Year Warranty, and premium PH-NDC thermal interface material is included.
