Thanks for redoing the video I got the basic overview from the last one but this ones even better. I have the exact same parts that I'm ready to install this weekend so I'm thankful for your time to make this!
This tutorial is awesome! I'm finally building another pc with my last one being from 2015, and I remember literally shaking out of fear installing the CPU cooler for some reason (i was 12...). This video really made me feel confident, this is so much easier with such a calm and cool tutorial. Thanks a ton!
13:16 When you put a bracket on you should make sure that both screws are placed like the one to the right. The holes in the bracket for the screws are larger than they needs to be, so place them like the one to the right and keep a finger on the brackets mid and gently pressure the bracket in the opposit direction of the CPU to keep it in place while tightening the screws, then it will be lined up perfectly :)
Had to replace my motherboard today, I was really anxious about doing the CPU. Turns out you were right and some other may need help! So thank you so much for recording this! Gave me much more confidence to get in there
Great video! Just ordered all the parts for my new pc. Can't wait to install this cooler on my Ryzen 7 5700x. I've heard great things about it! On my current build, I am using a 120mm aio and I freaking hate it. Even after putting a Noctua fan on the radiator, idle temps are at like 38-42 on my current 3700x. So this time around, I want to try something else and the Peerless Assassin looks like my kind of cooler!
The instruction manual is probably one of the worst I've ever seen. Most of us noobies are probably here because of that. 😅 Edit: And see? Turns out I did my fans in reverse... So you've saved me a good amount of time (and possibly hardware) because of your aside about fans! Thanks.
@@PC_HardwareTechUnboxing_1 you did a video on the vetroo white cpu rgb fan and was wondering what cpu you were using or socket you installed the fan on because I mistakenly bought the black one and they said it supports sockets LGA 1100 through 1700 but My board doesn’t support my socket, plus there is a heat-sink on my gigabyte board that gets in the way of the thick heatsink where it will sit on top of it
TY, Left off at 13:40 still have to put my fans on and mount those annoying clips. Got one fan done, It fit even with RGB ram. Should be good to go tomorrow to finish up.
Thank you for checking out my video and leaving a comment. Glad you found this version of the installation as I do have one with about 10x more views, but this is better resolution and the camera views of the connectors is a bit better.
a nice video. thanks :) but your cooler is on a bit askew ... we have the much better vantage point and so can easily see vs your view. But the initial brace does not make contact with the mounting frame. The other side did. It is 9 months later tho ... :)
Nice. Is true that we cant mix, that cooler fans argb with the case fan rgb? They need to be separated? Maybe yes. I use the rgb case to control the colors but I cant change the colours from argb cooler.
I don't think I ever saw an exact TDP for this...multiple numbers between 125 to 245 to 265 Watts. That said, I would think it is slightly north of 200W. Performing better than a Noctua NH-U14s, but not as well as Noctua D15. For the price, this cooler represents an amazing deal for pretty much any locked 13th gen CPU or any 12th gen CPU (locked or unlocked). That said, for benchmarks with no OC, but power limits set to unlimited....it is only good enough for the I5-13600k. 280mm or 420mm AIO seems to be what is needed for the other two to not get thermal limit throttling. For normal computer work, this cooler would keep them all cool. For gaming, temps might run a bit warmer with the latter two, but in a well cooled room and case, I don't see it being a problem. This would be with default settings, no OC, power limits set to where there is no power limit throttling. I don't believe I have tried this CPU with the I9-13900kf. Currently, I have the I9-13900kf with a D15s with 3000RPM Noctua fan I9-12900ks with Peerless Assasin 120 SE I5-13600kf with Frost Commander 140 I7-13700k is sold I9-12900kf is with the Thermarlright 6 pipe 120 single tower ...not trying to run any OC's on these.
@@PC_HardwareTechUnboxing_1 Wow, thanks for taking the time in writing such a detailed response. I will be turning off my ad block when watching your content from now on!! 😅
I am currently trying to remove the heatsink but while unscrewing the screws they become tough to turn and then snap back down (they dont fully snap down just a bit). Would you happen to know what this could be caused by?
If you order this from Amazon, you get mounting plates for the Intel, brackets for intel and AMD...spacers, nuts ...and of course the cpu cooler and fans.
65W TDP CPU's definitely don't need dual towers....a good 120mm single tower cooler will work just fine. If not, there are other issues with the build.
Hey guys, my fans are like his(same direction) but the fan that sits on the ram for him, sits on the mobo brick for me. So basically the fan that is on the most right side for him is on the most left side for me. Should I move the fans to be like his or am I good?
Hello, I don't have my TUF B660m anymore, but don't see this as a problem. I have installed this one on about 12 motherboards. I recently had it on a Gigabyte B620m with no issues. The only problem comes in when you try to release the GPU from the PCIE slot...this is occasionally painful with any of the big dual tower cpu coolers.

I'm autistic and this was really helpful, thank you!
I appreciate you posting this comprehensive video mate, it was a great help for a first time builder. Thank you.

i just ordered an thermalight FS 140, basically similar to this but larger :D for my i5 13600k.
Thank you. I just installed mine with your video. Thank you SOO much!! God Bless!!!
Glad you found this version. Take care!

I am glad it was of use and you were able to find the newer version of this where my directions were a little clearer. Thanks for the comment.
Thank you for this informative video on how to install this.
Glad it was helpful!
Well done 👏and thank you
New gaming channel.
just what I was after, many thanks :)
Great to hear!
Great video really appreciate the help
Thank you...glad you found this version over the 1080p one that has worse camera angles.
Friend thanks a lot, I was kinda scared installing the CPU and cooler.
Glad I could help
Much appreciated man, great tutorial
Thank you...good to hear. The original got some criticism since some of the camera angles missed some details...and it was only 1080p.

I use the fuma scythe 2, great cooler and is offset so that the ram slots aren't covered up.
RGB heads up: just invest in RGB splitters. It makes things so much easier.
Excellent work
Thank you, I have this same cpu cooler

Amazingly done

tysm this video really helped out
Thanks for feedback!
Especially with the clips, the manual was very difficult to use for that step.
I think maybe the cable can go thru the divider instead of going outside to make the fan sit nicely n not crooked
What's the max cooling capacity this cooler is capable of in your opinion?? 13600k, 13700k, 13900?

I9-12900ks with Peerless Assasin 120 SE
I5-13600kf with Frost Commander 140
I7-13700k is sold
I9-12900kf is with the Thermarlright 6 pipe 120 single tower

Is a dual tower design necessary for an R7-7700 no overclock?
65W TDP CPU's definitely don't need dual towers....a good 120mm single tower cooler will work just fine. If not, there are other issues with the build.

Did anyone notice he put the screw through the wrong hole on the bracket closet to pci slot?
Also left the end of the clip poking into the fan cable at 19:00.
Hi, I want to ask does this cooler fit in the mATX mobo such as TUF or Mortar without cover the pcie slot, thanks
Hello, I don't have my TUF B660m anymore, but don't see this as a problem. I have installed this one on about 12 motherboards. I recently had it on a Gigabyte B620m with no issues. The only problem comes in when you try to release the GPU from the PCIE slot...this is occasionally painful with any of the big dual tower cpu coolers.
@@PC_HardwareTechUnboxing_1 Thank you a lot
Does this mean you can only use 2 ram slots ?
No you can use all 4. It sits above my ram and even if it doesn't clear your ram. You can just move the fan up a bit
Please what motherboard is compatible with this?
LGA 1151/1200/1700 and AM4/AM5. Size wise...would only use it wtih mATX and ATX.
