Thermalright Peerless Assassin 120 Mini Black CPU Air Cooler, 6 Heat Pipes,120mm CPU Fan

I installed this CPU fan in my gaming rig and it's been running cool and quiet ever since. Setup was straightforward, and it came with everything I needed for installation. Temps dropped noticeably, and I haven’t had any overheating issues even during long gaming or rendering sessions. It’s surprisingly quiet too—I can barely hear it, even when it ramps up under load. The build quality feels solid and it looks great inside the case. If you're on the fence, just go for it. It does exactly what it’s supposed to do, and does it well. Highly recommend for anyone needing a reliable cooling solution. -chatgpt bc i used profanity on my original review. Lollll

I've been using the stock cooler for my older ASUS motherboard for years and had good temp ranges usually 53 C to 60 C. I don't overclock my PC or use CPU intensive software. I've tried other coolers when I was building my PC, but they didn't do extremely well, especially for the price. On a whim after watching YouTube content creator Gamers Nexus, I thought I'd give this cooler a try since it was time to redo my thermal paste anyway. Love the results. Dropped my temps now to an average of 31 C to 43 C. For my type of PC use. I'll probably keep this cooler for my new PC build when I'm ready to do that, or go with the larger one if needed. Install was a breeze with my older motherboard, and can't see how it would be difficult for newer boards even with higher RAM.

Easy to install, looks great and cools my 9700x effectively. I replaced the stock fan with three Noctua 140mm fans.

Happy, keep my CPU cold. Replaced a 15 yr old liquid cooler who's pump failed. Intel 1150 socket, I don't overclock but could easily with this cooler. Install easy, they include thermal goo, fan is quiet.

This cooler is the bomb! It fit in my super dinky Dell G5 5090 case, is super quiet and works amazing, brought my i7-9700 cpu temps way way down from bouncing off 100c constantly to 75c max under load. I paired it with Thermalright TFX to reduce pumpout and ensure optimal thermal transfer. Very happy my friend recommended, would buy again.
