Thermalright Assassin X120 Refined SE ARGB CPU Air Cooler, 4 Heatpipes, TL-C12C-S PWM Fan, for AMD AM4/AM5 Intel 1700/1150/1151/1200 (AX120 R SE ARGB)

Most of the time you "get what you pay for" but this isn't the case with this cooler. I am currently using it as my cooler for a Ryzen 7 5800x and I have to say, it does very well. My temps sit at around 40-50 degrees while in use. The RGB lights look great, are programmable using software and most importantly the fan itself has great airflow. Not to mention the heat sink is well crafted and a very good size for the price. Overall its a great cooler and perfect for a budget build or a temporary cooler until you upgrade.

Does the job, and is very good value. Honestly, for that price I thought that I will see it reflected on bad quality, some noise, maybe a little issue... but to my surpirse, it looks pretty solid, good quality and there is no noise. Highly recommended if you are with low budget or if you do not want to spend money on fancy brands that do the same, this brand is a great option. Recently, I bought a pack of 3 argb fans from the same brand and model to replace the new already faulty msi argb that came with my case, I put the msi as cpu cooler bacause of the broken argb and honestly (the fans still works), better than the msi in most ways and even more quiet.

Cheap isn’t always cheerful especially with PC parts so if you’re skeptical like me on if this cooler is upto the job or not - It is!*Updates at the bottom*After reading/watching a myriad of reviews online I took the plunge not expecting much from a single fan air cooler after having my AiO for three years. I needed something robust yet cheap if possible to cool my 5700X.Packaging does the job, all protected by that typical foam packaging.Heatsink and fan, little baggies labelled with each Mobo type for the connectors. Thermal paste included.Firstly, installation is smooth and simple, instructions are typically basic but the pictures do a good job of explaining what to do for Intel and AMD. Be aware you may want to connect the fans pin connector before installing the heatsink but it’s a pain free process that took me all of about twenty minutes.The thing I like about this cooler is the ability to position your fan slightly higher thanks to the metal clips that grip the heatsink, this allows you to get some critical space between ram.Performance wise this things an absolute monster.I’m currently in the process of undervolting my 5700x and at my current settings this thing didn’t budge past 56C on prime95 and that’s without an exhaust fan currently in my PC. My AIO even when it worked would peak 58/60C dependant on ambient temps!So using the thermal paste included I loaded up CSGO first, then Modern Warfare 2.Now I didn’t play for a prolonged period so I will update this review as time goes on, but in my brief hour testing session my CPU capped out at 60C max.No curve adjustment, fans are barely audible over sound from monitor, a faint ‘hum’ tops.Again this is without an exhaust fan so currently my PC is circling warm air.Absolutely amazed with the results and for the price I cannot fault this product one bit. Don’t hesitate.Update as of Feb 21st 2023 - I haven’t gotten around to undervolting any further at present but am extremely happy to update that even with the likes of Red Dead Redemption or World of Warcraft Dragonflight (1080&1440p) this fan won’t let my 5700x budge over 64 degrees even with prolonged use!

Nice fan. If I had been fitting it to a new build then I would have had no complaints. Upgrading from an old fan, you have to hold the front and back of the motherboard in place whilst screwing this into place with your third hand. No regrets though, good value and works well.

This cooler works fantastic after being modified to fit on AM3 board, keeping my FX8320 at reasonable temperatures even when overclocked to 3.9ghz.

Very easy to install, clear instructions and high quality.Value for money is brilliant, fan is quiet system runs cool.Haven't tried the ARGB but the fan runs fine without it being connected.

I built a new pc and was using the AMD Wraith cooler as it came free with the cpu but the temps were insane.cpu was idling at 60 and 85-90 when gaming.After installing this cooler it idles at 30 and never goes above 65 even when heaving gaming. Definitely worth the money and very easy to install 👌

Looks good. Easy to install.

Rgb lassen sich nicht ansteuern und wechseln ihre Farbe eigenständig unabhängig von MainboardSOMIT HANDELT ES SICH NICHT UM EINEN ARGB FAN(DEFINITION ARGB : ARGB. Es gibt zwei Haupttypen von RGB-Beleuchtung: RGB und ARGB. RGB-Beleuchtung kann nur so eingestellt werden, dass sie jeweils eine einzige Farbe anzeigt, während ARGB (Addressable (adressierbare) RGB) viel fortschrittlicher ist und es dir ermöglicht, jede einzelne LED individuell zu gestalten und zu steuern.)Leider hab Ich schob drn Kühlkörper verbaut und erst dann gesehen das es kein dementsprechendes kabel gab und in der Anleitung bemerkt das dort steht das diese sich nicht steuern lassen bzw. mit dem Mainboard synchronisieren lassen.Und den Fan einzeln kann ich schlecht zurückgeben und joAIch habe keine Ahnung wie man sowas ausbaut
