i got one peraless by the diference in price,i live in brazil and the prices are insane ,the ak620 can be found close to 95+ dolars and the pa120se i get for 49,12 dollars ,the price diference is incredible.
@@pc_analytics I got the AG620 which performs incredibly similar to the AK620 for U$ 69 yesterday. It is way cheaper than the peerless assassin (which, by the way, is hard to find nowadays in Brazil!). In some benchmarks I saw it even surpassed the AG620 in thermals, even though it uses cheaper fans. I would love to see the AG620 reviewed too against the peerless to confirm that! Thank you by this nice video, it was the one video that made me go for the Ag620 to cool my hotter than hell 5800X!!!
Yoo, I just bought a ryzen 7 5700x3d, which cooler do you think would fit best for me between ak620 and perless assasssin? Btw, do you have another suggestion in this budget range? Thanks a lot!
I'm running the Dark Zero version of the AK620 since my usual go to Be Quiet Dark Rock Pro 4 isn't compatible with my motherboard. I was skeptical at first due to how cheap it was, but has been running great and pretty quiet since I got it. No complaints at all. Keeps my 13600k in check. It also looks really good, too .
Just wondering what price you got it for. The ak620 zero dark is €75,- where i live while the dark rock pro 4 is €80,-. Also, the peerless assasin is only €39,- so almost half the cost of the ak620.
@@lucvandriel2408 I got mine for about $50 US. Was very affordable. At only an extra 5 where you are, I'd just go with the DRP4. I have one of those as well and love it.
Why do they never test the heatsinks with better fans than factory to prove the better performer? Like the Scythe Wonder Tornado 120mm better air pressure, not cfm.
Do you think I will be able to use Peerless Assassin with high profile ram like G.Skill Trident Z5 Neo or should I look for single heatsink cooler or maybe AIO.
@@pc_analytics I for one would like to know why motherboard manufacturers keep putting the ram slots in that position when everyone KNOWS that overhang from coolers can be a problem...
I was thinking of buying the PA, but afraid that the ram clearance isnt enough, I have the Corsair Dominator Platinum RGB ram, or should I go for the ak620?
Both the AK620 and the PA will overhang the RAM slots. However, the AK620 will have more clearance than the PA, but you can still move the fan up a bit on the PA without much loss in performance, so it becomes less important from that perspective. However, given you are looking at RGB ram, neither the AK620 or the PA will be good choices given they will hide the RAM and therefore cover the RAM's RGB. With that in mind, I would point you to the Noctua U12A. Lot of performance for its size and won't overhang the RAM slots, or consider going non-RGB RAM and save a few bucks.
Doesn't justify the 25 AUD price difference between the two at all. Peerless assassin is the better option by far if you're considering to get bang for your buck.
I take a model based approach to the results. With that in mind a few things have changed since the release of the video: • I have updated the model, which may have small changes to results • I have done more testing on both the Phantom Spirit and Peerless Assassin, which both contribute to changes in the results. Note that the changes observed are only a few degrees, which is well within the expected volatility observed in normal use. Additionally, the website shows 130W while the video only shows at most 125W. With the above information in mind, the website will always show the most recent results while my videos are a reflection of a snapshot of the data and subsequent model at a point in time. In comparing the video to what the site shows, the biggest different is within the lower RPM results, while the higher RPM results
Yes. Check out my videos from a couple months ago and a bunch are chilling on the side. I buy and hold. Also have a pic of all my Nocuta products on Reddit
i‘d prefer the ak620 for comparable performance and better looks BUT considering the amount of complaints about the noise the fans on the AK620 make… and especially after seeing how terrible deepcool support handles it… i‘ll go with the peerless assassin se argb.
Thank you! I appreciate it! Thank you for letting me know about these coolers. I'll add them on the list of items, however I have quite a bit in the pipeline so it may be a bit before I'm able to get to them. Few things I'm working on right now: • Collecting data to expand analysis & models to different CPU's • Collecting AIO data to have proper models to cover AIO's
Hi I'm running a 14600k in an ASUS TUF z790 and I'm concerned about RAM clearance Is it possible to fill all 4 RAM slots with either of these coolers? What is the most efficient cooler I can get that doesn't obstruct the ram slots?
This channel is criminally underrated. Thank you for doing god's work and keeping the presentation tight. Keep it up man 👍🏼
First time watching, and it was the first that I thought.
Quality and straight to the point video keep the good work bro
Thank you!

Just found out about your channel, you are really awesome and provide quality content! Keep it up man!
Great explain. Thank you
thank you for making it 2mins
thx man i love ur content
peerless assassin almost half the price, no brainer.
Brief and useful
thanks
Hi, nice video, Do you have if the Assasin is a good option for the i7 14700kf?
You are straight to the point. Thanks

I have the same exact setup, but wish I would have save $30 on the Peerless Assassin.
Was thinking to buy ak620 but my case is mid tower (lianli 205 mesh), since it seems quite big cooler do you think it is fit well?
Man wich of this coolers will be better for my ryzen 5 8600g?
The Thermalright Peerless Assassin 120 (not SE) is more beautifull!! Expecially in white edition.
Great video! sweet analysis, graphics really help a lot! But it would be even better if you said the exact temps at 30w, 105w, etc!
If you go to my website I have commentary with numbers. Thank you for the feedback!
AK620 looks like the modern Gelid Phantom :)

Good video
Thank you!
Which cooler Should I buy for my ryzen 7 7700
Thermalright Peerless Assassin 120 SE ARGB CPU Air Cooler or AG620?
I don’t have the ag620, but the peerless assassin or the phantom spirit from thermalright should handle the beat well.
how tf do you guys only have 750 subs
Right! I ask my self that every day. Also this is a one man band. I may say "we" sometimes out of habit.
P.S. thank you for the kind words.
@@pc_analytics Stick to it. I am now seeing good content channels like yours taking off.
Do you think I will be able to use Peerless Assassin with high profile ram like G.Skill Trident Z5 Neo or should I look for single heatsink cooler or maybe AIO.
Yea, it will be fine. It will overhand the ram, but you can just move the fan up slightly without much performance loss.

@@pc_analytics ill change my ram to a smaller height, was never a fan of rgb anyways. Thank you.
or get Scythe Fuma 2
@@pc_analytics Do you have a Thermalright single tower comparison? Maybe one of those could be RGB RAM friendly

Check out the frost spirit 140

If you haven't already built it, a word of caution: It might not be possible to run 4 sticks of DDR5 at full XMP speeds
