Thermalright PS120SE ARGB CPU Air Cooler, 7 Heat Pipes CPU Cooler,Dual 120mm TL-C12B-S V2 PWM Fan, AGHP 4.0 Technilogy, S-FDB Bearing, for AMD AM4 AM5/Intel 1700/1150/1151/1200, PC Cooler

The Thermalright Phantom Spirit 120SE is just the best CPU air cooler on the market for modern CPUs. Whether you use intel or AMD, this cooler will keep you running cool even under heavy loads like gaming or video animations. Very easy to install and looks great on your motherboard. Dual 120mm fans keep air moving and the noise level is quite modest. A good air cooler will outlast every liquid cooling solution there is. You'll have to replace the fans once every 5-6 years while liquid coolers have a lifespan of 3-5 years total.

Amazing cooler for the price. Have a nice CPU that runs hot, and pulls watts. Didn't want to go the AIO route and this keeps it under 50c almost 100% of the time. So far My peak has been cyberpunk with max graphics it reached 52c

This is awesome I wish I'd installed it sooner. I had a Corsair AIO water cooler and it never seemed to act right. I know it was installed correctly (i've built quite a few PC's over the decades), but for example sometimes the CPU block light would come on, sometimes it wouldn't. My CPU would run hot (5800x3d) and I felt that the AIO just wasn't working well enough. It WAS working, just not as well as I thought it should.Saw this cooler on Amazon for less than $40. and on impulse picked it up, and it sat under my desk for probably more than half a year. I just never seemed to have the time to take apart my desktop and remove the AIO and install this.Well last week I got tired of feeling like I had a space heater under my desk and finally swapped them out and the difference is like night and day. For one thing it blows the hot air 'back' instead of 'up' at me, and somehow it's about 5-8 degrees cooler. Which doesn't sound like a lot but it does make a difference. Maybe I should've used a 3 fan AIO instead of a 2 fan AIO, but I was worried the larger 3 fan wouldn't fit.The desktop is running fine, temps are low, this CPU cooler looks 'cool' and everything is running fine.I wish the fan aRGB wires were just a tiny bit longer, even just an inch or two would've been better. I had to run them down behind the MB and up through the bottom to get to the right header on my ASUS mb, and the cords just barely reached. But other than that there were no issues.the RGB for them is controlled by the Armoury Crate software and I've had no issues with it.All in all it's a great cooler and I'd recommend it pretty highly.

Installed on top of a Ryzen 7 9700X at stock clock speeds. Normal Windows 11 usage rarely gets over 45 C. In Red Dead Redemption 2 at 1440p ultra max MSAA, CPU never gets over 65 C.A couple issues I had:A. The screws on the heatsink that screw into the mounting bracket seem to be cut a little short on some of these at the factory, making it hard to start the threads on both sides. Had to apply probably more pressure than I wanted to on a brand new system to mount both sides of the heatsink.B. The fans included with this were annoyingly loud at idle for no obvious reason. I tinkered with fan curves in my Asrock B850 Pro RS Wifi version 3.20 motherboard and couldn't get it it to sound any better. On a whim I decided to tinker with the wiring - this kit comes with a splitter cable so you can daisy chain the fans together on one CPU fan header. When I took out the splitter and put each fan on a separate header (for fan control and RGB), they sounded nearly silent like magic. If you're having issues with noise using this try that. These fans may have issues with power delivery or something if they're both run off the same CPU_FAN header.Overall great performance, look forward to years of use.

I recently upgraded to the Thermalright Phantom Spirit 120 SE ARGB CPU Air Cooler, and it has been an outstanding choice for my PC build! This cooler features seven heatpipes and dual 120mm ARGB fans, providing exceptional cooling performance for even the most demanding tasks. The copper cold plate ensures efficient heat transfer, keeping my CPU temperatures well within safe limits.The installation was straightforward, and the included instructions and mounting hardware made the process smooth. The ARGB fans add a touch of style to my build, with customizable lighting effects that can be controlled via software. The fans are also surprisingly quiet, even under heavy load, which is a huge plus.Overall, the Thermalright Phantom Spirit 120 SE ARGB CPU Air Cooler has exceeded my expectations in terms of cooling performance, build quality, and aesthetics. It's a fantastic choice for anyone looking to keep their CPU cool and their build looking great. Highly recommend it!

Works great, directions are ok, bit bulky overhangs over ram so have to adjust it so its not sitting on the ram.

Works well for my AMD 9800X3D CPU. Idle temps are usually around 40-42C , but I’ve seen as low as 38. Gaming usually is in the 60s with occasional high temperature spikes when the 9800X3D is building the cache on launch. I used the included thermal paste. The thermal paste is extremely thick and not easy to apply, but it seems to work well. The fans are pretty quiet. I don’t really notice them at all until they kick into high speed during those aforementioned temperature spikes.The ARGB on the fans looks great. I didn’t have clearance for my RAM (Patriot Viper Venom) so I had to move the front fan up a little. Only one memory stick is visible after the cooler is mounted over them, but it blends in well since my sticks are black with no RGB.I asked Thermalright what the difference is between TL-PS120 SE ARGB and PS120 SE ARGB, and they said there is no difference. I went with the TL one as it was a few dollars cheaper.
