Assassin X120 Refined SE CPU Air Cooler, 4 Heat Pipes, TL-C12C PWM Fan, Aluminium Heatsink Cover, AGHP Technology, for AMD AM4/AM5/Intel LGA 1150/1151/1155/1200/1700/1851(AX120 R SE)

This Thermalright CPU cooler is an amazing value. The included TL-C12C PWM fan is surprisingly quiet even while running, yet it delivers plenty of blowing power to keep temperatures low. Cannot say this enough it is better airflow than any other fan I have ever owend, it has more blowing capacity. So good. It fits very well in my case without any clearance issues. The four heat pipes and aluminum heatsink do a fantastic job dissipating heat efficiently. If you need a reliable, budget-friendly air cooler that performs well without making a lot of noise, this is a solid pick.

A great Cooler Master Hyper 212 clone. It works just as well while being the price the 212 *should* be. Compared to intels stock cooler my idle temps dropped over 10 degrees. Not only that but it’s so much quieter! What a great cooler! The cost to performance ratio is amazing.

I am not a gamer, or CAD user. Because my old MSI 760GM P34 FX AM3+ (MB) motherboard was dying (NIC Port dead, intermittent USB port functioning) I decided to rebuild my computer "from the ground up" (I did keep several SSD's ). My build is unique in that it is a negative pressure build but the case is very well sealed. I cut out the left panel and attached a big, washable filter (see pic), sealed any holes and, put filters on any larger cutouts in the case. I have a 2 fans on the right side of the case to pull cool air through the case, one inline with the drive bays, and another just behind the CPU (incase there is some heat from the CPU on the bottom of the MB. There is another fan on the back, inline with the inside CPU cooler to help the cooler do its job. In addition to providing clean fresh air for the guts, I get little to no dust build on any components. The cooler I had for the old build (FX 8320 8-Core BE CPU) on the above mentioned MB, was awesome (CRYORIG H7 Tower Cooler), but it would not fit an AM4 CPU's, my choice for the new build, as AM3+ was fairly dead in terms of current CPU sockets. After extensive research, I landed on the Gigabyte B550 Gaming X V2 MB, and an AMD Ryzen 3 4100 4-Core, 8-Thread Unlocked Processor. The CPU included a Wraith Stealth Cooler. I employed Silicon Power DDR4 RAM 16GB (2x8GB) Turbine 3200MHz (PC4 25600) memory. I've never been happy with stock coolers. They JUST get the job done, often with VERY noisy fans. For this reason I bypassed the stock Wraith CPU cooler in favor of this one. As noted above, I am not a gamer, or CAD user, so did not even contemplate a liquid cooling system. Instead I relied on this Thermalright Assassin X120. I am no fan of RGB because I prefer all power used goes to do the tasks. I don't need a bunch of colored LED's lighting up the room, wasting juice and making heat. This fan has NO LED's! I must say, with the MUCH lower power demand and heat generation of the new CPU (and concomitant reduced heat generation), this cooler is amazing. I can't hear it ramp up based on CPU demand. With custom CPU Fan settings in the Gigabyte Control Center which aims for 100% CPU fan speed at 50C. Helped by the case fan powered to about 80% inline with the inside Thermalright fan, I ran the "Torture Test" in Prime95 to test my CPU, the CPU never exceeded 71C, well below the CPU's 95°C Tjmax. With the Thermalright CPU Fan running @100% during the test, I could barely hear the fan. You can spend a ton more on a CPU cooler. If you game hard or super engage the CPU, another cooler might be warranted. For me, this cooler hit the spot!

Item arrived and installation was very easy. Great product for the price! Temperatures are stable for my CPU, it is visually appealing, the fan speed is as expected and not too loud at all.

I almost don't believe this. I recently upgraded my PC from an old R5 1600 to a 5600. The old Wraith Spire cooler on my 1600 was always sufficient for that CPU. The new Stealth cooler that comes with the 5600 is unfortunately not adequate at all. Playing games the 5600 would easily spike up to 90-94C at only 40% utilization (then throttle). My idle temps were around 45-50C. After installing the Assassin X120, I now idle as low as 32C. I just booted up a game of Star Wars Battlefront 2 (which was consistently running my 5600 up to 90-94C with the Stealth cooler) and I kid you not, the temp stayed at a consistent 55C. I kept looking over in disbelief, expecting to at least go up to 70C, and it never did. I am amazed. It's also much quieter. (I should probably also note that I also replaced my rear exhaust fan, which was just the stock fan that came with the case, with an Arctic BioniX fan at the same time as I installed this CPU cooler. This is likely doing a much better job at pulling out the heat from the CPU cooler than the stock fan was). The installation wasn't too bad at all either. The only part I had a little difficulty was, getting the heat sink aligned to the screws on the brackets, but everything else was pretty easy. I'm very happy with this CPU cooler. Edit: After playing some more rounds of Star Wars Battlefront 2, the temp did top out at a whopping (sarc) 65C. Still almost a 30C drop from the Wraith Stealth cooler. I am just in awe of this CPU cooler still. I've played several other games as well and 65C is the highest temp I've seen period. This is insane. Edit2: So, not long after installing this I started to get BSODs, which eventually turned into an infinite boot loop, rendering my computer temporarily unusable. I didn't think a new cooler would cause this issue (especially because my temps were great) so I checked everything else first: swapped out GPU, RAM, bought a new PSU, RMA'd the CPU (took >2 weeks). I finally figured out the thermal paste had gone down the side and gotten on the CPU pins. It was only a little bit, so not sure why it was so problematic, unless Thermalright's claims about their paste being electrically non-conductive are not true. In any case, once I cleaned it up (used alcohol and a toothbrush) and let it dry (this is important, didn't do this at first) and then reapplied some third party thermal paste (just bought the $5 arctic stuff) making sure to not put too much, it started working perfectly again. So be careful with the thermal paste. Maybe don't use it all to avoid edge spillover. This was my first time applying thermal paste (previously had just used stock coolers with pre-applied paste) and I didn't know how much was too much. I just assumed the amount they give you with the cooler was the right amount.

I originally bought this cooler as a cheap, low-commitment solution for an old Intel build that was missing the stock cooler. I ended up liking it so much that I bought one for my main rig. It's whisper quiet even at full speed and keeps my 12-core CPU below 75C at full load--a huge improvement over the stock cooler that constantly spooled up and down from minor activity. The included hardware works with pretty much any consumer socket made in the last decade, so if you work on computers a lot, this cooler is a great piece of kit to keep as a spare without tying up too much money. I can't speak to how this cooler compares to more expensive options, but at less than the cost of a pizza, you really can't beat the value.

I love these heatsinks. Very affordable, easy to install, high quality fit-and-finish, and vastly superior to stock coolers. I did a minor upgrade recently, changing out a Ryzen 5 3600 for a Ryzen 5 5600, and the Thermalright Assassin X120 is so much quieter while providing superior cooling.

This cooler is amazing for the price. Added some mx4 paste and this to my I5 12400f and its worked wonders so far. Installed it all and my temps went from overheating into the 90C-100C range down to 27C(ROOM TEMP!) idle and around 40-47C under max load. It's really quiet, came with everything for set up for my chip set. Decent material grade. I Honestly don't have a complaint. This is the first week I put it in so not sure about how long they last, But for the price No complaints here. Defiantly 100% recommend this cooler as long as the CPU isn't too strong, This is probably one of the best coolers for most budget options. Buy this!

Fitting this tower requires access to the back of the motherboard so if you are upgrading an existing computer, you will need to remove the motherboard from the case. Apart from that fitting it was very easy and it made an immediate huge difference to the temperature of the CPU over the stock CPU cooler. It's very quiet. Much quieter than the standard Intel CPU cooler. It is very tall and I can't put the side cover back on the case, this doesn't bother me but it is worth looking at the height and the clearance in your own case

Perfect thank

عملي جدا وتركيبه سهل نوعا ما مقارنة بالانواع اللخرى تحتاج شخص معاك يساعدك على التركيب ركبته على معالجي r5 5600 واختلف معاي بشكل وضح كنت مركب المبرد اللي يجي مع المعالج وصراحة سي يوصل في اغلب الالعاب الى 90 او اكثر بس بعظ ما ركبت المبرد اكثر شي وصله ٧٠ مع الضغط انصح به وبشدة خاصة اللي ما يحب RGB

AMD Setup was easy, quiet, have seen the temp drop on heavy load which is good for CPU life.
