ThermalrightPeerless Assassin 120 Mini White CPU Cooler, 6 Heat Pipes AGHP Technology, with 120mm PWM Fan, 1500RPM Speed, for AMD:AM4 AM5/Intel LGA 1851/1700/1150/1151/1200/2011,PC Cooler

Perfect cooler, easy install, looks nice, and was the perfect size for a compact case. Great temps and very low noise.

When my lian li 360 LC stopped working, I was rushing to buy another cpu cooler to get my pc working again. This time I wanted something more reliable than LC, because pumps will eventually fail overtime. It was between this and maybe the Noctua. I'm soo happy I chose this, even though zi love Noctua, this was way cheaper and performed just as good. Keeps my cpu temps at 35-40c. Incredible for an itx cooler! Might upgrade to it's bigger brother for more cooling! Happy to know I don't need to worry about pump failures.

Great for budget, cheap, and value for money builds. Noise may vary.I've become a fan of this cooler despite owning two of the Peerless Assassins and other variations. 1st off is the compact nature, and have shoved this into a Zalman Cubix case, literally have 2mm of clearance but allowing the system to run on a Ryzen 5600, some people have run it on higher end hardware like Rzyen 9800s and even the x3d processors. I'm replacing my trusty DeepCool AK400 for a 5800x I'm putting on my primary Bazzite gaming pc. The key of this cooler is the recessed nature of the fan, allowing it snugly fit into places others can't and it offers good cooling. It is best paired up with 1-2 intake fans at the front and an exhaust fan from the rear, ensuring a good flow of air and keeps the CPU happy. For most standard CPUs, I usually see it going from 45-60 C and will go to 80s and even 90s depending how the user pushes the system. I wish Noctua would release a fan specifically for this cooler, the best combo is now noctua fans + thermalright coolers for a superior air cooler. Sure the Noctua fans are more expensive, but combined with the thermalrights sturdy and robust features, it can cool the most aggressive CPUs.

I purchased this cooler to replace Thermalright's fantastic SI-100 low profile cooler due to a CPU upgrade (going from a 5700G to a 5700X3D) and I elected to upgrade my cooling as a result.Cooler was easy to install, since the installation method is practically identical to the Peerless Assassin 120 and the mentioned SI-100 I've used before for my own builds and a few friends.Although cooling was fantastic for a 135mm cooler, VRM temps improved thanks to the low position of the fan, and overall clean aesthetic, the one annoying issue I've noticed is how I received the cooler.The extremely tight packaging resulted in several fins bent when I removed the cooler from it's foam protection. Although fixable with a taped-off flathead screwdriver (to avoid ruining the white finish), I believe a better packing method could be used.

Cools my 7800X3D perfectly, and fits well on my Meshroom D. Easy to install and quiet.

I'm done with water cooling. This looks great, and cools almost as well. Less to worry about - I've had pumps die on me, and this is just a cheap fan replacement if it ever gets to that point.Low cost, high performance, looks great.

It is smaller than my SE that cools i7 12700 that has more than 180W TDP but is good enough for 9800x3d that is less than 130W TDP. The installation is al.ost the same and easy. The built quality looks good to me. If you need a short cooler（13.5cm) for 9800x3d, it will be a good candidate for the price.

multiple reviews are saying this cooler is amazing but I'm getting consistent 90 Plus temperatures at max load on my Ryzen 7700x. It very likely I did something wrong but being this is my second time building a pc my fifth time change out thermal paste and reattaching a CPU cooler. I'm lose to what I could have done wrong. I repasted and reattached and got slightly lower temp by a few degrees 87 to be exact. just going to replace it because I prefer lower temps. at Ideal temp is 51 to 54 I am hoping to drop a few more degrees. In all honesty it prob lay just that my cpu naturally run hot. In fact a lot of research has made me sure that it’s the heat monster.
