DUAL BALANCE PERFORMANCE TL-C12C FAN
Based on TL-C12 fan design, TL-C12C fan series achieve optimal balance between performance and noise output, therefore they are all-around fan for heatsink or radiator use scenarios. The motor is equipped with S-FDB bearing for smooth operation and long life span.
6 AGHP (ANTI-GRAVITY HEAT PIPE) TECHNOLOGY HEAT PIPES
Common heat pipes heavily depend on gravity to achieve optimal performance.
Heatsink equipped with THERMALRIGHT Special design AGHP Heat Pipes is not affected by the mounting direction. This ensures user’s cooler experience in different computer case designs.
EXCELLENCE USER EXPERIENCE
Premium THERMALRIGHT TF-7 thermal paste is also included with CPU cooler for the best out-of-the-box performance. Redesigned Thermalright SS2 mounting system offers easy installation process and optimal mounting pressure.

When I built my PC five years ago I installed a Dark Rock Pro 4 for my CPU cooler. It worked very well, but over the years the fans grew louder, the cooling became less efficient, and dust began to accumulate in hard to clean places. I decided to look for an affordable replacement and settled on the Thermalright Peerless Assassin. Overall, I believe this was a very good choice.Compared to my Dark Rock Pro 4, the Thermalright Peerless Assassin was a breeze to install. The LGA 155x bracket fit my motherboard and was easy to install. The thermal paste seemed thicker than other pastes I've used, but it went on neatly and is clearly working. The spring screws seem to have secured the cooler to the brackets very well. My biggest complaint with my old cooler was installing the fans. Happily, I can report that the Peerless Assassin's fan are easy to install, and remove if needed, and are secure.In terms of performance, I'm completely satisfied. The fans are not as quiet as my Dark Rock Pro 4 when I first installed it. However, they are an acceptable low volume. My PC has an Intel Core i7-8700k CPU and the cooler has no problem keeping it between 20C to 30C while idle or under a light load. I am no longer an avid gamer, and do not play modern video games, however I did test the thermals while playing Minecraft. It kept my CPU around 40C most of the time and would briefly shoot up to 50C when loading parts of the map.At less than 40 USD this cooler is a fantastic option for CPU cooling. Its significantly less expensive than comparable coolers, is easy to install, and delivers good performance.

The Thermalright Peerless Assassin 120 SE is an excellent budget-friendly air cooler with impressive thermal performance. The dual 120mm PWM fans and 6 heat pipes with AGHP technology help keep CPU temps low, even under heavy loads. For the price-to-performance ratio, this is the CPU cooler I’d pick over anything else. It even holds up surprisingly well against my usual top choice, the NH-D15. Honestly, I wouldn’t complain if someone picked this over the NH-D15 because, for the price, it’s an amazing value. Installation is fairly straightforward, though the mounting system could be a bit more refined. If you want high-end cooling at a budget price, this is one of the best options out there.

This cooler is part of a new build using an AMD Ryzen 7 7800X3D/ASRock X670E Steel Legend motherboard. After using AIO liquid cooling on all my computer builds for years, I thought about making a switch to air cooling based on many recent articles the two cooling types. Thought I'd give this a try and compare for myself, considering the price difference. Install was pretty simple and the included fans seem to perform well enough to get the most out of what this air cooler can provide. After bootup and running the system through its paces, thermals are comparable to my AIO (3 fan). Very quiet during gameplay.My dislikes:Included instruction sheet was pretty minimal and the illustrations really didn't help explain how the clips attached the fans to the cooler. A few minutes on YT videos cured all issues with install.The other downside to this cooler (for me) is that the heat-pipes rise is just short enough when installed on my motherboard that the one fan is sitting on top of my G.Skill RAM (Trident RGB area) after installing according to the instructions and viewing some videos. For me, this happened when installing the fans in the "push" configuration from the videos. If the heat pipes were 1/8th of an inch taller, it wouldn't have been an issue. I may look into changing the fans to a "pull" config (where they are pulling air through) and changing their location on the cooler. However, I'm in no hurry right now as there's no functional problems, just my OCD kicking in a little. Was there any thought given about taller RAM sticks of performance RAM during design? No idea and nothing noted online. Just my experience with this item.Works great and the cost is reasonable, considering how expensive it is right now to tackle a new computer build.Would recommend.

Reseña del 310824.Para poder instalar es muy útil el video que esta dentro de la descripción del producto. Es un sistema de ventilación grande, en mi caso quedo justo (quizás hasta apretando) las memorias ram, por lo que te recomiendo tener esto en cuenta al momento de armar tu set.Ten en cuenta que debes revisar la posición del cableado a conectar para que te sea mas fácil conectarlo a tu tarjeta madre y que al momento de ensamblar esto te ayudará que los cables no estorben a los ventiladores.

I've recently upgraded my budget gaming laptop's CPU to Ryzen 7 5800X, fitting in a Mini ATX casing and basic neutral airflow. Have tried to recycle the previously Ryzen 5's stock fan, but the temperature hit 90 Celsius a couple of times and shutdown my PC. Had to resort to eco mode for awhile until I came across the raving review of TPA120SE.Reverting to normal mode (non-Eco) and installing TPA120SE, the same high intensity game doesn't cause the temperature to spike above 70 Celsius, usually floating between 43 - 65 Celsius. And the price point is incredible for the value it delivers!

CPU Fan is strong and powerful. Very Quiet which is a key point.

Might take lot of time to figure out how to install.I have installed it via urban clap professional whom take more than hour to install as it was tricky.Make sure you have an experienced expert to install this cooler.We were not able to figure out why RGB ISNT working.However I was fine with non RGB.Cooler works. Super quiet and my cpu yempratures are now 39 degrees

They're massive! Make sure you've enough room in your case and your ram ain't too tall. These are easily one of the best, looks great and performs so well and it's whisper quite. My mac makes way more noise than my PC now, it definitely runs significantly cooler than the mac, that's for sure. If you're using this on something that draws 200 watts, you can expect 75 to 80 under max sustained loads. While gaming it rarely crosses 60 on GPU bound games, CPU bound games don't push it that much further and while idling expect sub 35 °C. I do live in a place where the ambient temps are quite high, so if your ambients are low you can expect much better results.
