PA120 SE ARGB

It has been cooling my Ryzen 7 7800x3d like a beast. Easy to mount, quiet, good quality. My RAM is tall, but I was able to adjust the fans up a little. The performance is great for the price. I am just hoping its longevity is the same.

The value of this cooler is absolutely incredible. I paired it with an Intel i5-13600k and even running Burn test for hours and hours at max the hottest the CPU gets is 76 C, and that's just on two cores, the rest are less than 75 C, with the E cores being less that 60 C. The boost is going to max most of that time too, so there is no throttling. The room I was testing is was about 67 F, maybe slightly cooler, and all the fan profiles were set to normal and rarely maxing out, so this cooler can definitely handle more. Compared to other coolers it performs at very high levels, though not the highest admittedly. For an air cooler it's up there with the best. Given the price of these, and that you can get RGB fans too (if you want that I turned mine off) I only see the value in going with something more expensive if you plan to go liquid cooled, and I would only do that if you plan to do overclocking on an i7 or higher. This is one of the best value PC parts available, and for any but the most demanding this will be a cooler that performs better than you need it to. Install is very simple, the build quality is amazing, and the performance is beyond belief. If you need a CPU cooler on a budget you can't do better, and if you just don't like wasting money, then there is no reason not to go with this over the more expensive options.

Long story so please bear, but honest review! Pros: Easy to install, budget friendly, performance gains, lower temps, aesthetics, value for money. Cons: none I have a high end build consisting of 7700X, X670 and 6900XT, and I bought MSI Mag280R last year, and I won’t say anything bad to the company or my previous cooler, but I had idle temps of 50-60 jerks and upon running Cinebench, my cpu used to hit 5.1GHz choking itself at 95C. (18K score) It was constantly running at 80-90 playing CS GO, Fifa, Jedi Survivor, Avengers almost everygame. Checked multiple videos of PBO and used to crash at every point with -30 -25 and -20. So I lowered the thermal limit and GHz (basically loss of performance but only to have it running smoothly, thought AM5 was shit) (my friends were saying my cooler is shit, but whatever) However, my friend got 7900X and bought this cooler, and he ran cinebench, and his wasn’t even hitting 85C with 5.8GHz. So, I got frustrated that even spending almost $600, I can’t even get the performance I desired so what was the point of buying AM5. Long story short: I got this cooler, and when I installed it. Idle temps were not going above 40C. I ran cinebench on stock settings, it hit 5.3GHZ with 90C. (Didn’t even hit 5.15 previously) Upon making the PBO -30, it hit 5.34 GHz with temps being at 87-88C at the max. No crash, performance drops or anything whatsoever. Tested few games, didn’t cross 50C at any point. (I have attached snapshots of hardware info as-well) All in all, the MSI cooler costed me more than a $100 whereas this beast costed me less than 50%, giving me extra performance. I truly recommend this cooler.

Sleek looking cooler with nice sized fans for high cooling capacity. This thing runs COLD it has 0 issues keeping up with my wife's gaming PC and she loves this setup for looks and functionality. Would definitely recommend this cooler to anyone looking for a functional and reliable cooler with a high level of quality that fits on any CPU template. By far the best bang for your buck when it comes to fan cooling, which have far out performed AIOs today

Nice fan, low fan noise. Absolutely no instructions how to install it, had to get help with YouTube. Had to use an ARGB PWM Fan hub for the fans.

This cooler is very good for the money. It's well built, has dual fans that move plenty of air while being fairly quiet, and even comes with thermal paste, though I personally wouldn't opt to use it. I pulled a Noctua NH-D15 from my current rig to transplant it into a new build. I replaced that cooler with the Assassin to keep the machine running during the transfer to the new computer. It's currently cooling an Intel i7-7700k with a slight overclock. So far, the Peerless Assassin is performing on par with the Noctua in every test I've thrown at it. That's not saying the Noctua isn't a better cooler overall. It's just overkill on this particular chip. The Peerless Assassin can handle mid to upper tier chips pretty well. The only complaint I really have is the mounting system. It comes with all the parts needed for a few different sockets and mounting the bracket to the board is not a problem. Mounting the cooler was a bit of a nightmare. The posts on the bracket were just slightly out of alignment with the posts on the cooler. I had to wrestle with it to get enough angle to seat the tips of the posts together and pry it over enough to screw it down without cross-threading it. I think this just comes down to manufacturing tolerances being a little off. A slightly different mount with some play in the bolt hole would easily eliminate this.

I replaced the crummy stock fan which came with my computer with the PA 120. If I could give this thing 6 stars, I would. Only downside I could mention is installation instructions and videos are so-so. With the stock fan, my PC would hit warning temperatures under heavy load. It also sounded like a jet engine taking off as it struggled to cool my i7 12700. The PA 120 is quieter and keeps things super cool. Idle temps are ambient for the room rather than 30-40 C. Max load temps are 50s-60s rather than 80s and 90s. And you can barely hear it. I thought maybe I needed to go AIO to cool the system. I am very happy I decided to go with the PA 120 SE RGB. The RGB effects are a nice touch. Easy to setup and control with GCC. Thermalright has the bang for buck champion for sure!

This is a massive cooler and will block your argb ram lights and almost all connector ports on the motherboard. So make sure to install it last. With a big gpu and this cooler, you cant see your ATX motherboard at all. Best configuration for me was 2 fans blowing air through the heatsink and out the exhaust fan on the back of the case. One of the fans on the ram side sits higher that the one inbetween the heatsink. This is to clear tall ram sticks. They came with ARGB lights on the fans but the cables are on the low quality side. Somehow my fans dont light up. Maybe the connecter is broken or the pins on the motherboard. You cant see the lights with the case lights and ram lights so decided to continue using it and not return it for the fans.

Used this to replace my dual hyper 212 Evo. Installation is a bit tedious at I need to see YouTube video. But once you get the hang of it, it’s easy. Other than that you also gotta use a low profile memory.

I bought this for my i5 13th gen 13500 nd it's doing great...

مبُرد ولا أروع ، تركيبه سهل نوعا ما ولكن إحرص على الاتي اولاً ، لاتنسى تشيل اللصقة البلاستك اللي تحت قبل التركيب ( لاني نسيتها واضطريت افكه بالكامل ) ثانياً ، إتجاهات المراوح لازم تكون كلها جهه وحده ( الافضل تتابع شرح للتركيب ومالقيت احد عربي يشرحها ف اضطريت اتابع شرح أجنبي لها ووضح لي طريقة التركيب ) . يجي مع المبرد معجون لكن اشتريت واحد من ماركة افضل واستخدمته وماجربت اللي يجي معاه للامانه.

Massive cooler. Should work well.
