ThermalrightAssassin Spirit 120 EVO Dark CPU Air Cooler,1850RPM Speed,4 Heat Pipes, 120mm PWM Quiet Fan CPU Cooler with S-FDB Bearing, for AMD AM4 AM5/Intel 1700/1150/1151/1200, PC Cooling

I’d like to start by saying I’ve built quite literally 397 PC’s in my life. Most done when I worked out of my own custom shop over the course of 8 years. This is my first time using this product and I must say it’s every bit as good as CoolerMaster, Corsair, DeepCool, etc.The cooler is so easy to install. I had it installed and running on my AM5 platform in 10 minutes. It’s so simple. It’s very user friendly and great for beginners to use as well as veteran builders. The materials are absolute quality and you can tell right off unpacking the cooler. I noticed an immediate drop in my CPU temperatures from using the stock AMD Wraith cooler.The other factor is the price. $18.00 is a steal. I encourage you to get this if you’re in need of a quality cooler at an affordable price that doesn’t cut corners using substandard parts. Worth every penny. I’m now a loyal Thermalright user. No doubts at all.

Easy to install. Runs cool and quiet. Quality build. Brought down my benchmark temps from 95c to 70c, would recommend.

Using to cool an 10-Core/20-Thread 125W, Intel W-1290P in a Supermicro X12SCA-F mainboard, using some AC MX-4 TIM. For the price this was a well put together kit of a cooler.This is the first time since an Arctic Cooler AC Freezer 7 Pro in the 2000's that was a heat pipe tower cooler with the fan installed and didn't need removed to install the cooler assembly once the mainboard bracket's installed.The overall quality feels very good for something <$20, I am impressed. Everything felt solid, the fan was quiet yet moved plenty of air, the installation was a breeze.The heatpipes are exposed as the base of the cooler that contacts the CPU IHS, there are some ridges, I applied a little extra TIM.What I can say is so far I've yet to see my W-1290P get above 60C under various VM and restore workloads on PVE. For a 10C/20T, 125W CPU, that seems pretty solid to me for a cooler that cost me around $17-18 or so. I didn't need/want the 2-tower peerless assassin, wanted a budget cooler for a budget server build for my home lab. Very content with the results!!

I bought this for an AMD Ryzen 7 7700x and it performs okay. The problems I will describe are not to do with the cooler, but are my fault for putting it on a 7700x.Under a 140w load with the fan set to max speed, it kept a stable 86 degrees. The fan, in its push configuration, gets a little loud anywhere above about 1200rpm, but is completely silent below that.I completely trust that this would be a great cooler for lower wattage processors like the non k Intel CPUs and the non x Ryzen CPUs. You might even be able to overclock those a little.Installing the cooler on the AMD platform was easy. It fit perfectly in my Sama IM01 case as well. Unscrew the default clips and save them, put AMD stand-offs on motherboard, put the brackets on and tighten those, then tighten the screws on the sides of the cooler after putting on thermal paste. Plug in the fan and you're ready to go. Installation is similar for other platforms too.Overall, if you pair this cooler with the right CPU, expect good results. Everything feels a lot nicer than I would have thought for being only $25. There is no such thing as fan bearing noise with this cooler, just the sound of the blades. Keep it below 1200rpm and this is a great budget single tower cooler. For the 7700x and similar chips, the peerless assassin and phantom spirit look like good options.

Great unit with all the attachments! Well made and keeps the CPU nice and cool. As good as units twice the price.

I am amazed by how well this little cooler preforms! And as the title says, it is very quiet indeed. I'm in the process of upgrading my pc and picked this up just as a temporary cheap test bench cooler so I can test boot some new hardware before installation. My old pc chassis I'm using, an old school Danger Den double wide, has a custom duel 480 loop as a cooling solution, so I'll be using a water block on the cpu. This well be my fourth build in the old mini fridge. Upgrading from a 5yo am4 5900x system to am5 Asus x870e Hero with the 9800x3d, This little cooler kept the new proc in the mid 70's installing windows and all the mobo drivers along with all the asus bloatware, all while on the test bench. This well be great to have on hand as a very capable emergency backup cooler. Very pleased with this one! Buy it!

This cooler works very well with my Ryzen 5600X. It's not a very hard processor to cool but this cooler does the job quite effectively and at low RPM. With the stock fan curve from my motherboard I only hear some noise when the CPU runs at 100% for a few minutes and even then, max CPU temp is about 62 C. I could probably tune the fan down a bit, accept another 10 degrees or so, and make it even quieter.Installing the cooler was trivially simple. On AM4 there's just the spacers + brackets and then you're tightening down 2 screws. It takes minutes. It's very hard to get it wrong.The price is good as well, and the only downside is that it's very tall -- make sure you check you case for clearance. In my micro atx build I clear the case by fractions of an inch.

Extremely easy to install and temps are great. Hard to beat for the price.
