Phanteks T30-120

anteks T3120 showed well in our testing, outperforming both competitors in both airflow tests, leaving both Noctua NF-H12x25 and the Thermaltake Tough...

The final verdict? Between our four test subjects, the Phanteks T30 120 was hands down the best performer in both airflow and acoustics, regardless of...

But one place where the T30's were absolutely scoring is build quality. These things are extremely well built.

This is a perfect fan for radiator use and overall, look, I've done a lot of fan testing over the past year.

I just swapped out my top exhaust fans in my [FormD T1 with Phanteks T30. I've been waiting for years for the Noctua A12x25 Chromax... but right before they were released these interesting and highly competitive fans hit the market, so I decided to give it a go. I previously had the Noctua S12A Chromax fans in this build.

I used a xspc 20mm rad with two noctua A12x25 but when pushed the fans where still loud, and with the the fans set as intake it meant the hot air was blowing over the mobo and GPU which was not great for internal temps, and the rear half of the case would get pretty hot even the computer was under heave load. Also the case was a nightmare for access and maintenance, needing a lot to be dismantled to even access the side panels to change ram etc.

Highly recommend swapping the radiator fans to Phanteks T30's, at least for high TDP CPU's. I tried the Vardar's, Corasir ML's and Thermaltake's Toughfan 12's (copies of A12x25) and they are no match for the Phanteks. I got 5-7C better temps than the Toughfans 12's (second best).
