Thermalright Peerless Assassin 120 CPU Air Cooler, 6 Heatpipes,Dual 120mm TL-C12 PWM Fan, Aluminium Heatsink Cover, AGHP Technology, for AMD AM4 AM5/Intel 1700/1150/1151/1200/2066/2011

I have an i7 13700K cpu, which is known for hot running, and was using a NZXT T120 cpu cooler. The NZXT T120 was quite decent, but temperature could reach the 100 C max under stress. It should be perfectly fine, but I do want more margin. This Thermalright is so inexpensive that I have to give a try, especially given the many positive reviews. BTW, I had considered AIO, but the additional complexity and potential for failure made me dropped the idea.It arrived promptly. It is massive compared to the NZXT, which is not small already. I spent quite a bit of time to understand the installation process. It was a good thing I did that. The installation is not complicated, but the planning helped to speed up the process and eliminated many potential mistakes. It only took me may be 10 minutes from removing the old cooler to finishing up the installation of the new cooler.Now the performance. Idle temperature is just a couple degrees above ambient. Max temperature barely reached above 90 degrees under synthetic stress test. 80 degree was about the max under normal stress, which is photo editing for my case. In terms of noise, it is quite quiet imo.It seems to live up to expectations. Given the price, it is highly recommended.

worth it when its 40$ CAD

The standout feature of this product is the price to performance ratio. The cooler is large and your case needs to be a certain size in order to fit properly. It has a strong cooling capacity for an air cooler. The cooler is not overly loud and runs at a respectable speed.

Tenia instalado un Cooler Master 212 Evo con mi Ryzen 5600x, en comparacion este disipador me bajo las temperaturas unos 10 grados, de verdad es muy bueno, se nota bien construido y de calidad, puedo afirmar que el Cooler Master 212 Evo no se ve tan de buena calidad como este que costo casi lo mismo. Este tiene una base de niquel completamente pulida, por lo que el contacto directo con el CPU es mejor. Corriendo mi Ryzen 5600X con OC en todos los cores a 4.5ghz no pasa de 70 grados haciendo test de Cinebench, en juegos no pasa de 60 grados. Estoy muy conforme con la compra. Los unicos contras son los siguientes:- Los ventiladores son algo ruidosos pero no tanto, comparados con el que venia con el 212 Evo creo que son casi igual de ruidosos en carga alta- Es un poco dificil de instalar, SE NECESITA LA PLACA METALICA DE AMD de Stock (la placa que va a tras de la Motherboard) lo bueno que la guardé sino no hubiera podido instalarlo asi que tengan esto en cuenta en mi opinion deberia traer una incluida- Los alambres que sostienen al ventilador son algo dificiles de poner, hubiera preferido que vinieran integrados a los ventiladoresA pesar de los detalles lo recomiendo mucho y le doy 5 estrellas, por el precio creo que no hay una mejor opcion que este, ademas puedes poner mejores ventiladores despues pero me quedo con los que trae por ahora que no estan nada mal, me salio en 810MXN con un cupon de descuento asi que aprovechen!

Excellent! Cools an AMD 5800x CPU very well, keeping it at 70C when running Cinebench, so all cores fully loaded. Impressive considering I upgraded from a bequiet Pure Rock 2 (which was a toasty 80C). Typical usage doesn't go above 60C.Installation was easy, and mounting kits provided for both Intel & AMD. I don't doubt the reviews that says it matches the Noctua D15s at about half the price
