    Wow. Insane.

    • Budju on 27/01/2024 - 14:38

      Hey what's the diff? One more heat pipe and more fins?

      • scrimshaw on 27/01/2024 - 14:40
        +2

        It's even bigger and has 7 heat pipes. This has 6 heat pipes.

        • Budju on 27/01/2024 - 14:41

          Yeah I canned my order for the 6 and went the 7 just for the extra pipe.

          The PA is technically larger in height by 1mm, width and length are the same according to Amazon. The PS looks like the replacement of the PA as it is superior in every aspect.

        comparison video - https://youtu.be/iaJBsQPqxRA?si=WjCxbsORn5V36ysc&t=483

        tldw, main diff is heatpipe which translates to about 1-2C better thermals under load

        • Budju on 27/01/2024 - 14:50

          Yeah nice, thanks. Big improve

    • kml22 on 27/01/2024 - 16:25

      Thanks, got this one, great review, time to retired my AIO 360mm, as I find it too noisy trying to keep my Ryzen 5900x cool. Hopefully the PS120 SE ARGB will fix that noise issue.

        Thermalright PS120SE ARGB today, installed..WOW…the temperature is 17C load and low noise vs my DeepCool AIO 360mm water cooler reach about 90C load
        . Amazing…no more water cooler, it's bulky and noisy.

        • kml22 on 30/01/2024 - 06:28
          +1

          I mean 17C lower vs AIO.

  • SolitaryMan on 27/01/2024 - 14:23

    Excellent price for a great cooler. Nice and quiet and does a great job for budget air.

  • dabbberboi on 27/01/2024 - 14:35

    Word of warning, this thing is fairly large for a cooler - make sure your case can fit it. For my build, the fans don't give enough ram clearance so one of the fans juts out more than another, making it look awkward (still functional however). You can see it at https://youtu.be/kt2to1f1SU0?si=tfWgvvFY6rkrtOA1&t=391 - the right fan needs to be put higher and even then, it is barely above the RAM sticks

    • scrimshaw on 27/01/2024 - 14:47
      +6

      That will depend on what RAM you have. Some RAM sticks are taller than others due to the headspreader, which will interfere with your cooler if it so thick that it goes over your RAM slots.

      that's one reason not to buy RAM with RGB lighting if you are going with tower-based air cooler.

    • joelmuzz on 27/01/2024 - 23:49
      +1

      It is actually small for a dual tower cooler.
      But yes dual tower coolers are big.

      Two fans barely makes a difference so you can really just run the middle one and put the other on a case inlet.
      Good airflow through the case will achieve more.

      I have mine on an AM5 build and corsair vengence ram, it does sit right above the ram and sticks out about 3-4mm above the heatsink. still worth it imo and the performance is great (I have the PS not the PA)

      I'll buy that for a dollar haha

  • straustea on 27/01/2024 - 14:51

    Anyone know the differences between the different Peerless Assassin models?
    Outside of the obvious RGB what's the difference between TL-C12, TL-C12C, TL-C12B-S V2, TL-C12C-S etc.

    • aveeno bb on 27/01/2024 - 19:39

      Different fan speeds. Wouldn't matter very much as long as you manually adjust the fan curve and limit the max RPM to minimise the noise levels.

  • aleminium on 27/01/2024 - 15:03

    Great cooler. Have the 120SE keeping my 7800X3D very cool. Needed the regular/short Corsair Vengeance DDR5 to fit underneath

    • aveeno bb on 27/01/2024 - 19:43
      +2

      You can also mount the fan slightly higher, have you tried that?

    • joelmuzz on 27/01/2024 - 23:50

      Can just leave the second fan off completely. 7800x3D doesnt make enough heat to ever need it.

    • stingywog on 28/01/2024 - 09:58
      +1

      What temps are you getting to? I put a Deepcool Assassin IV on my 7800x3d and it idles in the low 50’s, and averages around 70c in game.
      HWinfo shows spikes into the high 80s but it doesn’t get there very often.
      I was hoping for better performance from the cooler and was wondering how other similar coolers go.
      Then again 7900xtx probably dumping a lot of heat into the case

  • Sir Mikey on 27/01/2024 - 15:17

    Good cooler. Bought the rgb one. The rgb on it sucks. I leave rgb unplugged, but great cooler for the price.

    • aveeno bb on 27/01/2024 - 19:43
      +1

      What's wrong with it? I set it so that the colour of the RGB indicates how cool/hot the temps are.

  • xyron on 27/01/2024 - 15:59

    Love that the middle fan has rgb. Would you even be able to see it?

    Current value king for me is the burst assassin 120 (ba120), currently $32 at bezos warehouse.

    • aveeno bb on 27/01/2024 - 19:42
      +1

      Not so much, but it gives you some flexibility in how you want to set the fans up as you get the two identical fans.

    • titanity on 27/01/2024 - 20:42

      Yes you can see it

    • Oofy Doofy on 27/01/2024 - 22:42

      has a TPC of 245W…. lies. It couldn't even handle anything close to that.

  • dws on 27/01/2024 - 16:25

    Great deal, I bought the Deepcool Assassin IV at more than double this price just the other week 🥲

  • aveeno bb on 27/01/2024 - 19:41

    Excellent product. I have the PS120SE ARGB version for my 5950X, and keeps it cool and quiet.

  • Oofy Doofy on 27/01/2024 - 22:43

    Has anyone OC/HEAT/LOAD tested one of these, or the 7 heatpipe version? Could they handle an FX 9370 at 220W?

    • joelmuzz on 27/01/2024 - 23:53

      GamersNexus has done extensive testing, the PA is market leader and blows away Noctua D15.
      Water cooling still wins at the highest wattages.

    • BROKENKEYBOARD on 28/01/2024 - 00:27

      I'd save the money for a CPU upgrade, also they might not even fit older sockets.

      • Oofy Doofy on 28/01/2024 - 11:51

        Why? It still works fine. It's dialed down to 4ghz and undervolted. I only play Easy Red 2 anyway. Bit of a frankenstein machine with an intel A380 LP. Lmao

        • BROKENKEYBOARD on 28/01/2024 - 12:31

          Because of how much electricity those things use. Even a cheap upgrade like an i5 8400 it'll still be quite a bit faster and use a fraction of the power.

          • Oofy Doofy on 28/01/2024 - 12:35

            @BROKENKEYBOARD: Maxes out at about 80w at 100%, so it's not too bad. It doesn't really need to ramp up to full power to drive an A380 at 1080p.

  • amosmilburn on 27/01/2024 - 23:56

    Dont buy the SE version, simples

      There's no clear reason to spend an extra $10 on something that's barely any better (unless you want the aesthetic difference). Even the PS120 (non-SE) is cheaper than the PA120 non-SE, as already previously linked.

  • mellowman on 28/01/2024 - 08:18

    I have the non SE version on my i5-13600k, works great. It definitely looks better in the case and is the version gamer nexus used for testing.

  • euphoria1337 on 28/01/2024 - 15:46

    Great cooler - doesn't throttle my 7950x and isn't overly loud.

  • CauseNEffect on 28/01/2024 - 16:57

    Truly excellent product. Best value improvement for any gaming pc.

    So much better than the stock cooler and nice and quiet.

  • hjkjkjkjhj on 28/01/2024 - 21:57

    Does anyone know if there is something like this but with lower than 138mm height? (i have small case)

  • AppVisionAus on 31/01/2024 - 22:13

    Very good deal.
    Ordered one yesterday and got delivered this afternoon.
    Placed my old Intel original CPU cooler and the temperature dropped from 80 degree to 45 degree when playing witcher3.
    It's quite quiet, maybe a bit overkill for my 12400F.

  • butter on 23/02/2024 - 16:17

    I have a couple of phantom spirits in the house and can confirm they are up there with my Noctua D15 (except maybe mounting).

    Skip the peerless assassin and get the Phantom Spirit for slightly better performance (7 heat pipes vs 6) at the same price point
