Testing Phanteks’ T30-120: Dethroning Noctua’s Finest | Tom's Hardware

A Guy

Will see in a couple of weeks Was waiting for black Noctua AF-12x25 but looks like that is not happening anytime soon, and these have tested better in noise normalized cooling.

I have installed the 3 x PH 120 T30 on my EK-AIO and configured the radiator from top push exhaust to front pull intake. I eliminated 2 case fans (just a rear out and top in for RAM - both Noctua AF-14 140 mm Chromax). This Meshify 2 case, which is open airflow optimized, allows the exhaust, with the much greater positive pressure, to easily escape. I got cooler temperatures just replacing the fans in the top exhaust configuration and around 5c better moving to the front intake configuration. I get 0c-1c average core idle temperature over ambient.

These are great fans so far. Better temps and much lower noise (than Vardar which screamed at 2200 rpm). I would highly recommend them for radiators (or case).
These fans are quiet - all you can hear, when you raise the rpm high enough, is the air moving. They are really nice.

Thanks for the report. They are a little on the expensive side, but may be worth it,

Thanks Steve,

I guess it's a matter of how much you want to pay for marginal gains. However, for me, the stock Vardar performed well but could be pretty loud. I like a quiet PC so for me it was worth it. I had been waiting for black version of Noctua NF-A12x25 to materialize, for a long time - they keep getting pushed forward. The Phanteks T30 appear to be a bit better for around the same price, and they look better than the current Noctua offering color-wise.

In any case, they appear to be top of the heap at the moment.

Just ordered. Due to chip shortage, Covid, Ida, everything else, ship date is out to Nov. 22. Hope it gets improved.
