Assassin X120 Refined SE CPU Air Cooler, 4 Heat Pipes, TL-C12 PWM Fan, Aluminium Heatsink Cover, AGHP Technology, for AMD AM4/Intel LGA 1150/1151/1155/1156/1200/1700 (AX120 R SE)

AMD Setup was easy, quiet, have seen the temp drop on heavy load which is good for CPU life.

Fitting this tower requires access to the back of the motherboard so if you are upgrading an existing computer, you will need to remove the motherboard from the case. Apart from that fitting it was very easy and it made an immediate huge difference to the temperature of the CPU over the stock CPU cooler. It's very quiet. Much quieter than the standard Intel CPU cooler. It is very tall and I can't put the side cover back on the case, this doesn't bother me but it is worth looking at the height and the clearance in your own case

I had an old i5-2500K that I just couldn't bring myself to get rid of, and decided that it was either time to let it go or get it to run at a useful speed. I was running overclocked at 4.4Ghz on the stock Intel cooler and getting temps of around 81c under full load, so to go further I needed better cooling., This looked like a great budget option. The result was a 30c drop in core temps while running a stress test! Averages dropped to 51c and max observed temp was only 54C! Awesome! With that kind of cooling performance I was ready to let the horses run on that old processor, and run it did! Right up until the 12-year-old Gigabyte z68 motherboard decided that 4.9GHz and 1.385v was just too much for its old components and beta UEFI. It died a good death right there on the dining room table... a bittersweet end to a legendary combo. But that no fault of the cooler. Performance was beyond expectations. It was well-packaged, easy to install, well-made, had everything I needed including thermal paste (saved me a trip to the basement), and man was it QUIET. Excellent cooler on-par with another brand I just installed that cost twice as much. I'm not sure whether I am going to hang onto it or not since I just ordered a replacement CPU that comes with a stock cooler (budget build - stock is good enough), but for under twenty bucks I wouldn't mind keeping this in the parts bin in case one of my machines needs a replacement.

The product itself is good i use i5 12f But i received open and damaged box .

This Thermalright Assassin X120 Refined SE CPU cooler is a solid option for the price. It feels well-made, the 120mm PWM fan runs smoothly, and the 4 heat pipes help provide good cooling for everyday PC use. It’s a nice upgrade over a basic stock cooler and works with a wide range of AMD and Intel sockets.
