1 review for Thermalright Peerless Assassin 120 SE ARGB CPU Air Cooler
Rated 5 out of 5

My CPU (i5-11400F) was hitting 90°C at 50% utilisation while playing games. I was using the stock Intel CPU cooler that came with my pre-built system. I bought the PA120 and a new case (Cougar Archon 2 Mesh) to accommodate its size, and at the same load, my CPU was only around 36°C.
Just a note: the PA120 fits on the ASUS PRIME B560M-K; however, the front fan above the RAM sticks had to be raised by around 10mm for clearance. If you are using the same motherboard, consider that you may need additional CPU cooler clearance beyond the space required for the cooler itself.

Great product—I recommend it to anyone.
