Thermalright 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)

Mister Twiggly is an ardent gamer, and his home-built gaming rig, while ancient, is capable. However, the stock cooler was getting a little noisy at times, so it was time for a replacement. Enter the Thermalright Assassin X120 Refined SE. Installation was fairly straightforward, though he had to pull out the motherboard to attach the backplate. From then on it was plain sailing. Testing showed that the CPU temperature is 10-15°C cooler at rest and 20-25°C cooler under load than the stock cooler, which he is holding in his right paw. Moreover, fan noise is barely noticeable - hardly surprising, since the fan is huge and runs far more slowly than its predecessor to cool that monster heatsink. This is music to Mister Twiggly's fluffy but sensitive ears. A very good solution at a modest price. Mister Twiggly says "Hurrah for Thermalright!", and gives this product his highest recommendation.

This is without a doubt the BEST budget cpu cooler you can get. It SIGNIFICANTLY reduces temps compared to the factory wraith cooler. It just plain works. My temps are much more regulated, the fan is surprisingly quiet (BeQuiet! is still quieter). Looks great, actually matches my stock case fans almost perfectly. Very easy to install, just torque down the bolts in a cross pattern. Overall, fit and quality is great. Love this thing.

I had an old i5-2500K that I just couldn't bring myself to get rid of, and decided that it was either time to let it go or get it to run at a useful speed. I was running overclocked at 4.4Ghz on the stock Intel cooler and getting temps of around 81c under full load, so to go further I needed better cooling., This looked like a great budget option. The result was a 30c drop in core temps while running a stress test! Averages dropped to 51c and max observed temp was only 54C! Awesome! With that kind of cooling performance I was ready to let the horses run on that old processor, and run it did! Right up until the 12-year-old Gigabyte z68 motherboard decided that 4.9GHz and 1.385v was just too much for its old components and beta UEFI. It died a good death right there on the dining room table... a bittersweet end to a legendary combo. But that no fault of the cooler. Performance was beyond expectations. It was well-packaged, easy to install, well-made, had everything I needed including thermal paste (saved me a trip to the basement), and man was it QUIET. Excellent cooler on-par with another brand I just installed that cost twice as much. I'm not sure whether I am going to hang onto it or not since I just ordered a replacement CPU that comes with a stock cooler (budget build - stock is good enough), but for under twenty bucks I wouldn't mind keeping this in the parts bin in case one of my machines needs a replacement.

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!

For the cost and for setting up a budget AM4 build it worked great, keeping the CPU nice and cool while also being fairly quiet. Very easy to install.

I bought 4 ThermalRight CPU coolers recently: two of this model (Assassin X120) and two Assassin King 90s. They all worked as expected regarding cooling capacity, although I needed to add a second fan to the Assassin King 90s because I was using them against recommendations due to their small form factor. The Assassin X120 has plenty of cooling capacity. I am using them for two Asus Z590-A builds with Intel i7 CPUs. These coolers offer excellent value for the price. The only reason I am giving 4 stars and not 5 is that one of the Assassin X120 units was slightly tilted. I noticed this after installation. The left side, closest to the power supply, was 1/8 inch (3 mm) lower than the right side. I did not want to return or exchange it since it was working perfectly (and already installed.) However, I contacted support to see if there was an explanation. No explanation was forthcoming but they did say I could bend it back into symmetrical shape. Buyer discretion!

Super cooling heat sink. Runs my Ryder 5 5600 super cool.

المبرد جدا جدا ممتاز على سعره. تركيبه سهل و قوي جداً. حرار المعالج كانت توصل الى 97! و مع المبرد صارت ما توصل لل80 حتى. المعالج: Ryzen 5 7600؜

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

Una joya todo lo que hace thermalright, este disipador fue mi compañero por un buen tiempo en un ryzen 7 5700x y máximas temperaturas de 55°
