Thermalright Assassin Spirit 120 EVO Black CPU Cooler, 120mm PWM Quiet ARGB Fan, AGHP 4th Technology

Installing the Thermalright Assassin Spirit 120 EVO was quick and easy. The ARGB fan not only looks amazing but also operates quietly, keeping my CPU at excellent temperatures even under load. The build quality feels solid, and the black design perfectly complements my setup. I appreciate its compatibility with various Intel and AMD platforms, which adds versatility. Overall, an efficient, quiet cooler that offers great value for the money.

For the price it is great quality and after months of use I haven’t had any issues. I’m running an i5 on modern games and my temps never get high enough to note nor do I ever notice the sound. Would buy it again for my next build.

Used this to replace an AMD Wraith Prism cooler I was using on my 5700x. Used to get up to 79c when gaming but after replacing with this it hasn't gone past 68c with any benchmark or game but I live in Florida and keep my AC at 78 so I'd say that's a pretty solid upgrade. It can likely keep the 5800xd at bay I'd imagine but will likely not be in the 60s. I don't have much experience with Intel and whether or not they run higher or lower temps but I imagine the results would be similar based on wattage. I know Ryzen usually idles kind of high, I typically idle around 40-50 just because of the way it fluctuates. Aside from performance, the RGB looks really nice but might be annoying to get working correctly with iCUE. That could be because I use ASUS though... I know there are usually issues with getting ASUS boards/gpu's to work right with iCUE. Just a warning for those fellow ASUS/Corsair users lol. Installation was easy, put the CPU plate on and screw down two screws. Uses the stock backplate and the installation is a breeze so that's good. Comes with thermal paste but it's not highly rated so I didn't use it. Clears all RAM on most if not any boards I'd imagine, its very far back after installing. If you're looking for something cheap and aren't running a CPU that uses more than like 125W this should be a solid upgrade if you're using like a stock or some other low end heatsink. It's better than stock in probably any case so there's that.

I’m able to keep my heat uptake down and keep the noise down as well. It fit nicely into the case I selected, the quality of the fan is quite efficient as well, and it mounted perfectly in my case with my giant GPU (a 4060 series, and those can be pretty hefty). It goes well together with the schema of my build, and was a fantastic price point for quality hardware. It is a versatile piece, so I was able to get the same fan for both my sons’ builds and it went smoothly with mounting it, and works just as well for my sons’ as it does for me, in three separate configurations of builds. Totally worth the money.

This has got to be the most cost effective upgrade I have ever made to my PC. It felt like a legitimate CPU upgrade with how much better it runs at cooler temperatures.
