Thermalright Peerless Assassin 120 SE ARGB CPU Cooler, TL‑C12C‑S 120mm PWM Fans, 1550RPM, 6 Heat Pipes, for AMD AM4/AM5 & Intel LGA 1700/1851

The Thermalright Peerless Assassin 120 SE ARGB is an outstanding air cooler that punches way above its price point. Installation was straightforward, it fits well in most mid-tower cases, and the dual 120mm PWM fans keep temperatures impressively low even under heavy gaming or productivity loads. Noise levels are very reasonable, with the fans staying quiet at idle and only mildly audible under stress. The ARGB lighting looks clean and not overdone, syncing easily with motherboard software, and overall build quality feels solid and premium. If you want near high-end air cooling performance without paying premium prices, this cooler is a fantastic choice.

Brilliant cooler for the price. Keeps temps low and fits perfectly in the case. Quality is very good and does everything you’d expect.

This cooler is fantastic. Previously, I had been using a cheapr £15 thermalright assassin cooler and was experiencing peak temperatures of around 90-97°c for my Ryzen 7600. This is okay as it is graded up to 100°c. Anyway. This was too high for my liking, so I decided to go for a larger air cooler. For £23 more, my temps have gone from 65°c to 40°c idle, while from 95°c to 70°c under maximum load. I would recommend this cooler to anyone running a ryzen 5000, 7000 and 9000 series cpu. I cannot comment for intel. It was relatively simple to install, typical mounting bracket with the screws. Ram clearance was not an issue, running crucial ddr5 32gb. Functions well, noise level is okay considering there are two fans and looks awesome in my nzxt h6 flow case. Worth the extra money!

Looks great, performs amazingly. It has kept my AMD 9800x3d nice and cool whilst running intensive games. It fits comfortable inside the Corsair 4000d airflow. It was easy to install and comes with the parts necessary for intel or amd cpus.

Easy to set up and has nice quiet fans. It’s currently cooling a 7600x in my PC so it never has to ramp up, I imagine it would do a good job with higher end CPUs that draw a lot of power.

This is a good system, i had to laugh when I saw the size of it, it IS a beast at around 2 inches larger in all axis compared to the single fan and heatsink on my previous machine, however, my buddies sent photos to show this is normal these days. The fans are quiet enough and my computer temps seems happy. All in all, seems good value, and can replace the fans easy enough as there are no proprietary fittings.

Keeps my i5-12400f at low temperatures when idle or light Gaming only peaking at ~41c

I was unsure of what Cooler Fan I needed and after looking at multiple, came across this setup. Bought and installed Had Stock AMD wraith cooler, which when running games the CPU would be about 75-80°c after installing and playing a few games with MSI afterburner showing stats on temp. Found the games I play now have the CPU at 50°c so definitely worth it for a cheap but very effective CPU cooler. So the cooling capacity is definitely good for a simple upgrade Fans are very quiet, on Idle didn't even know they were running Fitment is easy if you are used to building your PC, Fits straight onto my AM4 socket no issues. Just measure inside your case to make sure it fits. I did have to mount one of the fans slightly less flush than the middle one as the RAM Sticks/Motherboard RAM position will interfere but it won't affect performance as cooler is still completely covered by the fan area (Shown in photos)
