Thermalright Peerless Assassin 140 Black CPU Air Cooler, 6 Heat Pipes Heatsink Dual Towers Cooler, Dual PWM Fans with 1500RPM Speed

Did a lot of research in advance for cpu coolers and this was one of the best by far balancing cost and performance. Happy to report it’s doing a great job keeping my amd processor cool. They give all the accessories you might need for installation. Was torn between this and the 120. Definitely worth the extra time I put in to make sure the bigger fan would fit in my case.

Great, keeps my 7900X3D cool at all times. Works as well as my 360 AIO I got tired of. Think it's quiet, definitely not louder than the GPU fans.

PC AMD 9800x3d new build. Low 40s C temps. Easy to attach/just make sure case deep enough. Runs quiet.

Best AIR Cooler on the market Period. Especially considering the price to performance ratio. Will work with Intel LGA 1700, 1851, 1200, 1151 as well as AMD AM4 and AM5 platforms. Will recommend for hot CPUs like Intel i9 13900k and similar or AMD 9950x 9800x 3D

Installed with plenty of clearance for my DDR5 GSkill ripjaw memory kit, sat comfortably above the rear IO shield / VRAM cooling, and paired with an Intel 1700 CPU bracket (also from Thermalright) - temps have been great. If anything - just be sure to maybe install your first slot M.2 NVME SSD drive before installing this chonker to avoid any awkward NVME cover removal that might end up needing the cooler removed. (But I don’t feel this is uniquely a consideration with just this cooler, when it comes to tower cooling solutions of this size.) My 13600k idles around 26 Celsius, gaming at 1080p 244Hz (mostly high settings) around mid 50 - low 60s, and at most reaches low 80s during bench / stability stress testing (on a good spike). I use a case that prioritizes airflow (Lian Li 207) so YMMV, tho when given ample room to breath, this cooler is impressive. Tower also sits short enough to be comfortable in the Lian Li 207 w/o touching the glass side panel which is great. XMP 3.0 enabled on DDR5 kit, no CPU overclock, and most recent bios / Intel ME installed on a B760 board with these temps. Insanely happy with this purchase and the price / performance I am getting!
