Description: Phanteks PH-TC140PE_BL

Why would you pay attention to it. Phanteks understand that your cooling devices by air do not need to create buzzing sound to have good effect.

With the included fan mouting, you can mount the 3rd 140mm fan for heat dissipation to create your own wind tunnel.

Who should use it: the people who assemble machine are trying to keep the system as quiet as possible without sacrificing cooling potential.

Socket compatibility: Intel LGA775/1155/1156/1366/2011; AMD AM2/2+/3.

Noise is rated: 19dBA
