Phanteks PH-TC140PE_BL

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. The big, ugly 140mm fan on this device spins at 1200rpm speed and move 78.1cfm air, but your ears will not hear, because PH-TC140PE_BL only creates 19dBA maximum noise. Want more air cooling? 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
