Furthermore, the HEX 2.0 provides CPU cooling requiring zero power consumption when the CPU is under low stress, up to a peak power of 35 watts when the CPU is heating up. Hook up the HEX 2.0 to your motherboard using the optional USB interface and unlock custom power Maps, LED configurations, and more. Review: A cooler in a class of it's own. - I first noticed this cooler while looking through benchmarks. I had to google it because it wasn't something well known and a brand and name I was familiar with. Naturally it came as a surprise that it was a HSF with a thermoelectric function to actively pull heat from the cpu. I've heard about them prior, but the difference was the performance associated with this particular cooler. It was always near the top of all cooling configurations (not including custom loops), competing even against AIOs with both 120mm and 240mm rads. On paper it was impressive. So i decided to take a leap of faith and try this cooler out, it was a difficult choice especially at this price point. But i dont mind paying a little more, so long as the product works and is essentially worth the time and effort. And I can clearly say that I was not disappointed in the overall assessment of this cooler. I've compared this with a Noctua d-14, Dark Rock Pro, and a h100 on an overclocked cpu at 4.8ghz, and comparatively it has worked much better than the Noctua, Dark Rock Pro, and is within 3-6c of the AIO. I won't delve too much into the performance because it is there. The Hex 2.0 does it's job wonderfully, it even has an app that allows you to control the Phononic LED colors which are RGB as well as allowing you to set your cooling preference. With that said there are a few things to note. The 92mm pwm fan that it comes with can get loud. I replaced this with a silent equivalent and have noticed a major decrease in fan noise maintaining the same performance. If you are overclocking on this you will definitely want to replace it. It needs it's own 6 pin and also needs to be connected via micro usb to have full rgb control. That's more cables than I would like but it is doable. The screw driver included is too short. I used a screwdriver that i received from a Noctua purchase, but will be purchasing a slim one for future use, so don't bash me too much on this quirk. Not enough RGB. The logo itself is about the size of a dime and I would like to have seen some of plastic fan shroud be included in that. Also, the fan shroud can be a bit awkward. My first thought was that it could be better imrpoved to provide a smooth open and closing function. Do I regret my purchase and is it worth the investment? I definitely do not regret my purchase. This product, while not revolutionary, is one of the best in it's class. It's compact size is perfect for mini itx builds. It works as advertised and is much easier to mount than other coolers. It looks sleek, it's built well with a few minor future improvements, and I can see it lasting for years. It will probably be the last cooler I will buy for quite some time as it has a smaller overall footprint than AIOs, while maintaining similar cooling power. Other tower or SFF coolers will not be able to reproduce the cooling results the Hex 2.0 provides. Some of you may be on the fence about buying a cooler now that AM4 is right around the corner, but I assure you that Phononic will support the new platform. I have emailed and received a response from Phononic, regarding this and it will be available in a matter of weeks. Whether it will be provided for free with proof of purchase or sold as a separate product I do not know. I may send a follow up e-mail to get an answer to this. I have seen Noctua selling their AM4 brackets separately on desertcart for about $8. This cooler has performed and exceeded my expectations and I am looking forward to seeing what other products Phononic will bring to the competition. If you need a small cooler with similar performance to liquid cooler alternatives, this is the product. Review: Great cooler, needs a price drop - I bought this cooler because I just wanted to try something different. I must say that I'm very pleased with the performance of this cooler. While it's not the cheapest best performing air cooler you can buy, it's probably the most efficient for it's size. I am running a Ryzen 7 1700 in an s340 elite case and everything fits fine. The Ryzen is over clocked to 3.7Ghz on all cores and under full load of Cinebench or cpuz stress tests I never see the temps go above 50c, and the cooler is still silent. I should have plenty more overclocking room with this cooler, great product. Cons: the 6 pin power connector is extremely bulky and takes away from the look of the cooler the RGB logo is pointless, it faces up or down and you can't even see it. This should be relocated to be on the top of the cooler expensive, better air coolers, albeit larger ones, can be had for 30-50 dollars less ## Features - Small form Factor high performance. Air flow - 44 CFM. Noise level - 33.0 decibels - Integrated and swappable 92mm fan - Supports TDP power for over clocking beyond 140W - Low noise design (33 dBA @ max speed) - Active/passive cooling (using our thermoelectric technology) ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B01JP7GEOE | | Air Flow Capacity | 44 Cubic Feet Per Minute | | Brand | Phononic | | Brand Name | Phononic | | Compatible Devices | Desktop | | Cooling Method | Thermal | | Customer Reviews | 4.4 out of 5 stars 37 Reviews | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00816789020012 | | Included Components | Item and manual | | Item Type Name | HEX 2.0 - CPU Cooler | | Item Weight | 1.8 Pounds | | Manufacturer | Phononic | | Maximum Rotational Speed | 2500 RPM | | Model | HEX 2.0 | | Noise Level | 33 Decibels | | Part Number | HEX 2.0 | | Power Connector Type | USB | | UPC | 816789020012 | | Unit Count | 1.0 Count | | Voltage | 12 Volts | | Wattage | 35 watts | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Phononic - **Power Connector Type:** USB - **Voltage:** 12 Volts - **Wattage:** 140 watts - **Cooling Method:** Thermal - **Compatible Devices:** Desktop - **Noise Level:** 33 Decibels - **Maximum Rotational Speed:** 2500 RPM - **Air Flow Capacity:** 44 Cubic Feet Per Minute - **UPC:** 816789020012 ## Images ![Phononic HEX 2.0 Thermoelectric CPU Cooler, Black - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81JtrFnCaPL.jpg) ![Phononic HEX 2.0 Thermoelectric CPU Cooler, Black - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61BLtT-aWqL.jpg) ![Phononic HEX 2.0 Thermoelectric CPU Cooler, Black - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/418v6yLhwFL.jpg) ![Phononic HEX 2.0 Thermoelectric CPU Cooler, Black - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81a7MgkD5AL.jpg) ![Phononic HEX 2.0 Thermoelectric CPU Cooler, Black - Image 5](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71J64B8KGML.jpg) ## Questions & Answers **Q: To the manufacturer: can you update this cooler so it supports am4 sockets as well? i'll bite! :) i want to test this on a ryzen.** A: I bought this for use with my Ryzen. It came with adapter brackets for either INTEL or AMD. I had to install some small plastic washers on the top of the board to get the backside bracket to fit snugly. **Q: Does the installation instruction video have subliminal background vocals? Pretty sure that video was encouraging me to worship satan...** A: If troll; 4/10 effort. If serious; I am sure Satan loves you anyway. **Q: how do i get the am4 bracket? i bought it and registered it but they never sent me one...what do i do?** A: you have to contact phononic, dont do the emails they dont get back to you, call the phone customer service and leave a message, worked for me i just received my am4 bracket **Q: Is it compatible with the Intel Core i7-4960x?** A: Yes. The i7-4960x is a socket LGA2011, which this cooler supports. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A cooler in a class of it's own. *by B***K on February 22, 2017* I first noticed this cooler while looking through benchmarks.

Still performs well though. -Cost, expensive! Better alternatives for less if seeking pure performance. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.pe/products/37027336-phononic-hex-2-0-thermoelectric-cpu-cooler-black](https://www.desertcart.pe/products/37027336-phononic-hex-2-0-thermoelectric-cpu-cooler-black) --- *Product available on Desertcart Peru* *Store origin: PE* *Last updated: 2026-05-20*
