Thermalright Peerless Assassin 120 SE CPU Air Cooler, 6 Heat Pipes Cpu cooler, Dual 120mm TL-C12C PWM Fan, Aluminium Heatsink Cover, AGHP Technology, for AMD AM4 AM5/Intel 1150/1151/1200/1700

Product Information

For the most part, the new aluminium dual fin-stack cooler is identical to the original, spare for a few changes. Still, I probably would have bought their upcoming cooler/redesigned existing line with big LCD screen atop the heat sink, but they've been faffing around for too long now.

Problem is likely the huge varience in IHS surface and/or PCB thickness to socket depth and resulting IHS top height being higher with thinner motheboard PCB thickness. Better cooling】 With Full electroplating reflow welding process, Anodized brushed black top cover + fully plated heat pipes + finely micro-engraved copper bottom, the effective cooling area will be greatly increased. The Unofficial Noctua Subreddit was created as a place for users to find information, share and discuss Noctua products. For example, my MSI B450 PWM control on CPU (PWM control) fan header will idle fans slower than system (PWM control) fan header.The Peerless Assassin 120 SE arrives in a medium-sized brown cardboard box, with cardboard and molded foam for protection. Compatibility】The CPU cooler Socket supports: Intel: 1150/1151/1155/1156/1200/1700/17XX; AMD:AM4 AM5;for different CPU socket platforms, corresponding mounting plate or fastener parts are provided. The Peerless Assassin 120 will work on all modern CPU sockets including LGA 1200 and AMD's AM4 sockets, though there is no word on pricing or availability just yet. The included TL-C12CW-S ARGB fans are a white variant of the TL-C12C-S, come with white frames, frosty impellers, and ARGB illumination. The assembly measures 125 mm wide, 135 mm long and is 157 mm tall, featuring six, 6 mm heatpipes to bring heat to the 53-fins on each fin stack.

While they have a slightly lower pitch to thier sound, they aren't any quieter at the same temps vs the TL-C12.The Phantom Spirit 120 SE is a stylish and high-performing cooler with a sleek design featuring a large aluminum heatsink, all-black fans, and a black top radiator. My only nits are with the fan splitter cable, its black not white and the fan brackets are silver not white. let the first couple months go by for BIOS updates, new featurs, fixes and so on rather than being the one who has to suffer all the issuesI bought the 3900x on day one and had some "interesting" BIOS related issues for about 6 weeks and apparently the 3000 series had a much better launch than the 2000 and 1000 series Ryzen chips.

Also, you can install the fan at the rear instead of the front (like what I have in the picture), if you have room for it. The closely related Peerless Assassin 120 SE provides a black color scheme with a less refined top surface. what I was talking about is motheroboard PCB thickness and socket depth and maybe thinner PCB is decreasing socket depth from CPU seat to surface of motherboard. Phantom Spirit 120 SE aka PS120SE is 125x110x154mm (WxDxH) with base centered front to back and offset 12mm toward PCIE sockets under twin fin packs for better GPU clearance and weights 765g. I think the screws could accommodate this by being a few mm longer but that too can cause issues with a lack of downforce if you don't account for it.They feature an S-FDB bearing and can make use of PWM signals so you'll be able to run them quietly when needed. It stands head and shoulders above its competitors, including the highly regarded Deep Rock Pro and Noctua coolers. The Peerless Assassin 120 boasts a stylish design, featuring a sizable aluminum heatsink, gray fans, and a gray radiator top that conceals the heat pipes. I don't think it's any higher than the Freezer, but it's a possbile issue with the mounting screws that makes it awkward. So while you won't get the same cooling performance, you'll still get pretty close with two cooling towers and 120mm fans.
