I must say since I got this heatsink I am really satisfied and I am really happy with the purchase and quality when I had the Intel series heatsink the temperatures were
Good video, glad I just bought that cooler, however the video could be better if you were to use the CPU more so that we can see how hot it can get under high loads. (yes i've subscribed)
Great video! I am building my first pc right now, and will probably buy this cooler. Just wondering though, can you change the color and if you can, does that work via software?
Yes you can do it, if your motherboard supports argb capabilities i recommend using OpenRGB, but for better ease of use you can try to use your motherboard provided software
Well, it should but you should take the fact that it was used on an overclocked 13th gen cpu that has a high tdp. If it was used on a cpu with something like a 65w tdp or
@GameFrostYT Thermalright has been in the game a long time. I have the FC140 and the FS140, I am going to move down to a 120 size. What people don't know is Thermalright use to be the king long before noctua, and they are starting to climb back up. No sense in paying noctua tax, about like asus tax, lol.
@@kendragon2827I've seen some of their earlier products like you mentioned. It's nice that thermalright is gaining more popularity and I never owned a noctua product before, though I guess the extra heatpipe didn't help much lol.
heya i have a question if you don't mind, are the fan cables daisy-chainable? i'm building my first pc and my motherboard only have two 5V/3A slots, one slot is gonna be connected to my daisy-chained front panel fans, so i only have one slot left.
@@danielalejandrogonzalezmor9437 chances are, its going to touch the fan and you'll have to rearrange it like mounting the fan a bit closer to the glass or sidepanel
Suitable for i7-13700F? I’m choosing between Thermalright Frost Spirit 140 and Thermalright Phantom Spirit 120SE, I don’t know which one will be better. Help me choose, thank you))
@@MrUltimategamer44 Well, the only part that consumes power is the fan, and by looking at the specs it has 12v at 0.20amps. Multiplying that will give you the total of 2.4 watts. The only confusing part is leaving out the 5v-3pin argb connector which may be 3.4w total power (12v + rgb 5v x 0.20a). Remember that's only ONE fan.
Hey bro, according to ur experience do you think this cooler can handle my i7 8700k overclocked around 4,8ghz - 5.0ghz without delid ? Currently I have an budget Hyper T4 and it is holding in 4.7ghz over
@@GameFrostYT Nice thanks, I will definitely order it I am just not a fan of rainbow puke shine, will put it to white just to give it slight glow in the case.
@@GameFrostYT Can you elaborate on why? I have seen zero reviews/benchmarks for the non-SE version of the PS120 but was considering getting it over the SE for purely aesthetic reasons (I hate the look of the heat pipes sticking out of the top). Based on how similar the PA120 and PA120SE performed (and those even had two slightly different fans from each other), the only major difference I would really expect between the PS120 and PS120SE is case clearance.
@@brochillers I checked online, and I only see one PS120 on amazon, I'm thinking the difference is in fans since the 120SE goes up to 2500rpm and the non-SE goes to 1500rpm according to amazon. Don't know about the case clearance though.

I wonder how the NH-D15 would perform under the same cinebench test, since from what I've seen this cooler performs similarly to that.
There should be similar videos covering this, though it's pretty neat to hear that it is as good as a high priced air cooler.
This is suppose to out perform the Peerless Assassin. I am looking for something similar for my media center/stream pc.

I am thinking about getting the Thermalright Assassin X 120 SE on a 6700XT and Ryzen 5 5600 you think it worth?
@@DokDokey It seems like it's worth it after looking at the reviews, if you don't tend on overclocking this is a great choice for the CPU!
your gpu hotspot is abnormal
How do you test this and troubleshoot it

Yes they can daisy chain
According to thermalright they stated: "comes with a 1 out of 2 wire that can be used in series."

What exactly is the RAM clearance? What's your ram height in mm -> its really hard to find this out.
My ram height is 38.2mm
@@GameFrostYT Thank you! Seem's most low profile ram shouldn't be a problem.
@@b0uncyfr0 yep, though I had to re position the CPU cooler's rear fan a bit upwards because of the heatsink's size
@@GameFrostYT hey how much clearance between your 38.2 ram and the fan is? My ram is 39.2 do you think it's going to be a problem?
@@danielalejandrogonzalezmor9437 chances are, its going to touch the fan and you'll have to rearrange it like mounting the fan a bit closer to the glass or sidepanel
How tall are your rams? I see you didn't need to move upper the fan, which is good.
38.2mm, the right cpu fan was moved up slightly to fit, so far haven't encountered any issues since.
@@GameFrostYT I see, thanks. Then I skip this cooler I guess, mine is 42 mm, and I don't want to move upper my fan.
I moved the fans in pull pull config. Same noise, same temps. Allowed me to keep the g-skill argb ram, which is crazy tall
@@DavidUrszuly-xm4neit will fit but it will sit on top of your ram
@@matthewadderton3344 well I bought PA120 instead, and I still needed to move my fan up by 1 mm, but it's fine
Suitable for i7-13700F? I’m choosing between Thermalright Frost Spirit 140 and Thermalright Phantom Spirit 120SE, I don’t know which one will be better. Help me choose, thank you))
Get the 120SE
would you recommend this for 14700k?
It definitely can do the job, but I do think that an AIO may be needed for slightly better temps, especially with a cpu that high of a TDP
HI!
You would recommend this cooler for one Ryzen 5900x?
Yes
@@GameFrostYT THX for the quick replay!👍
Sup nice vid
Thank you very much!
What's the accurate max wattage for this CPU fan? I've been seeing different answers on the internet. Does the box come with a definitive answer?
Do you mean how many watts the cpu cooler consume or how much it can cool the cpu (TDP)?
@@GameFrostYT How much wattages it consumes, I was seeing wildly different numbers on separate ads for it.
@@MrUltimategamer44 Well, the only part that consumes power is the fan, and by looking at the specs it has 12v at 0.20amps. Multiplying that will give you the total of 2.4 watts.

Would this cooler be any good for a Ryzen 7700x or a 7900(non x model)?
It's very good for those two cpus
Hey bro, according to ur experience do you think this cooler can handle my i7 8700k overclocked around 4,8ghz - 5.0ghz without delid ? Currently I have an budget Hyper T4 and it is holding in 4.7ghz over
Yes it can handle it just fine
it handles my ryzen 5600x at 4.8 Ghz without going over 60°C, it's an amazing cooler for the price
Dude for 14600k gaming and emulation..is it cool ?
Yes, it will be cool on most if not all emulators
Do you recommend this cooler for Intel I5-13600k?
Yes definitely! I have it and despite overclocking the CPU it still managed to cool it just fine.
Is there a software to control that RGB?
@@Chaserbl yes, you can use software like openrgb or use motherboard supported software.
@@GameFrostYT Nice thanks, I will definitely order it I am just not a fan of rainbow puke shine, will put it to white just to give it slight glow in the case.
Is the se without the rbg the same as this product
@@GabrielCruz540 yes it's the same
@@GameFrostYT do you think it can sustain a i9 10850k
@@GabrielCruz540 I believe it can just fine
Do you think this cooler will be good for ryzen 7800x3d? only for gaming
Yep!
Its pretty big but do you think that I can use it if I had a 35 mm ram and is it also for a 7800x3d?
Well since my ram is 38.2mm yours shouldn't be a problem, also it should cool the 7800x3d just fine!
@@GameFrostYT Awesome thanks man!!
Do you think this cooler will be good for I5 12400f ?
Definitely!

Did this come with fans that have a ARGB daisy-chain?
Yes i believe

Which is better??

Max temps without OC in R23???
Around 90 if I'm using the same voltage, if it was default it would've spiked to 100c thanks to MSI's high 1.3v+
Does this work for the i7 137000k?
Yes

Definitely!
