Phanteks PH-TC90LS Low Profile CPU Cooler Unboxing & First Look Linus Tech Tips

2012-11-17
welcome to my unboxing and first look oh it fell at the fantex pH tc9 DLS this is a low profile cooler from fantex and the last cooler we looked up from them was anything but low profile was like a huge plague tower thing and came in a variety of colors let's see what they have to say for themselves about this one so supports LGA 2011 LGA 1155 and 11:56 it's low growl it's a low pro that some low profile LGA 2011 cooler especially given there's like six core processors on there so their patented physical antioxidant thermal shield technology dramatically increases the cooling performance and reliability by deflecting thermal radiation from other heat sources non-toxic able to withstand temperatures up to 200 degrees this is only 27 millimeters taller 45 millimeters of the fan incompatible small form-factor cases with a 45 millimeter clearance the three six millimeter heat pipes are aligned to ensure optimal I can even see the heat pipes okay the pH f9d pelion premium fan uses you updraft floating balanced bearing I've never even heard of that before so I guess that makes it quiet eliminates vibration and provides a simple solution for quiet and smart fan control takes only less than a minute to install thanks to the provided mounting kit normally requires four screws and made of high purity yes their thermal compound is like a diamond compound like something like an icy ICS compound cold plasma spraying spraying coating technology as a new innovative deposit that transfers heat onto corresponding metals at a more rapid rate enhances the thermal contact if attea the soldered connectors and whatnot in hooha let's see what kind of a TDP it's rated up to it looks like we don't ah yeah up to 130 watt TDP so in theory this thing can handle six cores after a floating balanced bearing up to from 1000 to 2500 rpm and at 19 to 26 decibels is the actual rated thing we got going so here's this floating bearing fan which I'm sort of interested to check out so I guess so it's something to do with the actual force that it exerts down on sort of the lifts it a little bit and reduces the overall friction so that's sort of neat I don't know how well that would work sideways or sideways or would it yeah I know I should still move it away so okay here's a backplate for LGA 1155 and 11:56 very sturdy very thick that's about what you'd want okay more more packing materials here more accessories in a box that's what we got so I guess more mounting gear so here is an accessory for presumably fan mounting okay next is screws for LGA 1155 and 11:56 and finally screws for LGA 2011 then a nice big thing of included thermal compound very nice okay now we have there we go heatsink itself which is okay how exactly does this work so there's in theory three heat pipes in there here maybe you'll be able to see them a little bit better down there so there's a thick base that has there too you can see that these aren't just bare metal these have that coating that they're talking about that apparently reflects heat away from this and then also allows heat to be conducted more more better sort of off of them by the air so you melt this just by using the included bits of pieces so you kind of have it on there and they're saying they're saying this thing's capable of cooling a six-car the basis machine smooth so you can do the obligatory sort of finger shot and here thing and then it's a sort of a raised base and then attached to the larger base that actually also acts as a mounting plate and this sort of merits some some testing at some point in the future here guys to find out how well this could handle something like a six core because I mean in something like our shuttle PC over there that has an extreme edition in it something like this if it performs better than the included cooler could be absolutely amazing and would make more space for cable management and for cooling of other components inside the case as well so thank you for checking out my unboxing and first look at the fan tax pH TC 90 which is a low-profile cooler for Intel sockets it also includes a little instruction manual here that gives you all the information you need about how to install the fan clips and all of that good stuff don't forget to subscribe to Linus tech tips for more unboxings reviews and other computer videos
