Phanteks debuts its PH-TC90LS, a new 45mm high ultra-low-profile cooler designed for HTPC and SSF systems. Compatible with Intel LGA1155/1156/2011 systems, this model features a nickel-plated copper base, three nickel-plated copper heatpipes and aluminium cooling fins with P.A.T.S. (Physical Antioxidant Thermal Shield) and C.P.S.C. (Cold Plasma Spraying Coating), two patented technologies from Phanteks that promise to increase cooling. P.A.T.S. allegedly dramatically increases cooling performance by deflecting thermal radiator from other heat sources in your case, while C.P.S.C. promises better thermal conductivity on the soldered surfaces of the heatpipes through the copper base.

With the included fan, the cooler measures 95mm x 95mm x 45mm and weighs 273g. The bundled fan is a round PH-F90 PWM Premium Fan model, it has a white colored nine blades design, it spins at 1000-2500RPM and delivers 11.53-28.67CFM at a noise level of 19-26dBA. Also included in the package is a tube of Phanteks PH-NDC thermal compound.

The cooler will be available in retail stores for $29.99.
Phanteks introduces PH-TC90LS, a new ultra-low profile thermal radiator. With growing demands for cooling in constraint spaces, the PH-TC90LS has a slim profile and provides efficient cooling. Enthusiasts with HTPC’s or multimedia cases can achieve maximum cooling while maintaining quiet performance.

The PH-TC90LS is 27mm tall (45mm with fan) and compatible with small form factor cases with a 45mm clearance. The three 6mm Heat-Pipes are aligned to ensure optimal cooling. The three copper heat-pipes are embedded for better contact and performance. The PH-TC90LS is made to ensure it has the least amount of air and thermal resistance. To prevent mechanical conflicts with other components, the PH-TC90LS design follows Intel’s Keep-Out-Zone (95x95mm) requirements. Bundled with PH-F90 PWM Premium fans and PH-NDC thermal compound it is able to achieve massive airflow and perfect dynamic balance. The PH-F90 PWM fans with the support of the anti-acoustic and rubber bar produces low level dB (A) and eliminates vibration. PH-F90 PWM fans provide a simple solution for quiet and smart fan control by adjusting fan speed according to the CPU load.
