-Easy to install -Works well -Good price -Includes thermal paste
Easy installation on an AM4 setup. Cooler isn't too big, still plenty of space around my GPU and RAM. Cooling performance is drastically better than the Wraith Stealth. Price is reasonable.
Works good keeps my 7800x3d around 70c in warzone 2.
-Cheap (got it on sale for 16 bucks!) -Effective if you dont want to overclock or have one of the chips that run hot. Aesthetics are nice
Works great with Ryzen 9 7900; B650 Motherboard If I'm doing simple web browsing and office-like tasks temperature hovers right around 40 degrees C which is way better than the stock cooler which would keep it closer to 50 or higher, AND I can't hear it at all. It's spinning at 60% and it's almost silent. Best purchase ever. Some other things I like: - Comes with long screwdriver for installation - it's sexiii - doesn't even come close to obstructing my RAM sticks, could easily be fully loaded no problem (MSI B650 motherboard) - Everyone who sees it is jealous
Runs beautifully for my budget build has zero problems gaming wise ( I mainly play rust which is a cpu heavy game)
The easiest cooler to assemble and install Fifteen minutes max. Brought down the Ryzen 5 5500 from stock cooler 70 degrees Centigrade down to 44 degrees Centigrade Motherboard was 42 degrees Centigrade with stock cooler. With the ThermalRight Asasssin v 120 2. The unbelievable motherboard temp was 25 degrees Centigrade. This is from Amati case
60c CPU temperature in a 94F environment for 3 hours!
Great, it has a 270 watt tdp and it looks cool
Outstanding quiet efficient cooling. Bought the second fan wanting maximum cooling and ended up not needing it anyway for a ryzen 7 7800x3d. I have it mounted in a very well ventilated full ATX case and I see maximum 78*C on stress tests and gaming for 8+ hours at a time. I wanted to stay away from AIO coolers or water and this thing is amazing. It's really not loud the case fans are louder anyway
Excellent Air Cooler A+ build quality Versatile, supports LGA 1700, AM4, AM5 My i5 never goes past 64c full load.
- Easy modern mounting for AM5 - Good even contact - Great temperatures - Idle 35c / Prim95 60c / Peak 69c - Looks good - Good build quality - I think the fans sound fine, at high loads they ramp up and get louder, but its a smooth sound without any annoying hub whine or other jarring fan sounds. - Includes a fan splitter & speed switch for High 2000+ RPM, PWM default, and low 1800 RPM settings. I left mine on default PWM motherboard controlled. - Premium packaging materials and unboxing experience
-Price -Easy to install (AMD 4/5) -Nearly as good as Noctua (1-2 degrees less) -Quiet
Two 120mm aRGB fans
- Keeps my i5 8600k 4.7ghz (can OC higher to 5.1ghz) super cool at Idle 27C and 45-50C playing PUBG and CPU Intensive Cities Skylines. - Lots of hardware - Clear instructions - Build quality is superb - Provided Screwdriver makes the install easier. - Quiet considering how massive it is.
Solid feeling heatsink build quality. Easy installation considering the dual stack push pull configuration. Allows room for RAM swap and a bit of clearance from side of case for airflow. Excellent temps with 5 Fractal case fans (2 front, 1 front floor, 1 rear, 1 above, 140's) at virtually silent speeds at idle. Fractal Meshify case 65-75 max degrees under gaming load, typically 55ish and fans on 75%, so I still have headroom on my 7900X if I wanted quieter or cooler but nothing my headset can't insulate against and tolerable db without one. Ended up with white RGB option due to sale, very nice for smoked glass sided case to glow against a nearby wall for some ambience and coordinates with other compatible RGB components well.

I had read comments that the fan came damaged - mine was in perfect condition. It arrived early even though it came from overseas. Super quiet too :) Took me some time to find a fan to fit my motherboard as I'm not very techy, so quite happy i have my pc back in working order :D
This is also my overall review, it's just pros. First, I am looking to cool my CPU for longevity and durability of the CPU and system, not for speed. That said: This ThermalRight air cooler is the best air cooler made, at least for what I've used so far. Understand it's 2 coolers, one for each half of your cpu and with 7 individual pipes to each heatsink, so it's 14 cooled pipes because the heatsinks are separate with a fan on each, but that's just for starters. But the big difference, the engineered design difference and you can see it for yourself, look at the photos of this cooler specifically the package contents photo. The cooler is pictured there on the upper left and no that's not a bad camera angle of the cooler. What you see there if you look closely is the pipes are longer to one side and offset to the center contact copper heatsink. When installing this cooler I'd strongly suggest you make sure to put that longer side up and have near that part of both coolers to draw and pull the heat off. This offset center with longer pipes is the huge, and I believe ultra significant, design difference. See when we place this cooler on the CPU it is on a flat horizontal surface. When this is tilted up the 90 degress it usually is in our tower cases, that angle up of the design on both heatsinks forces the heat to follow more to that side of the heatsink. the faster you pull off the heat the better as this design makes the heat rise more to that side of the heatsink, It's a law of physics heat pump essentially. This causes a higher volume of heat to be pulled off the CPU and by dissipation the lower (and slightly cooler) part of the heatsink and fins are actively transmitting the heat from that lower part to the upper part. It's ingenious in design and easily delivers the TDP of 270+ that this cooler is designed for. This ThermalRight cooler is absolutely perfect for my I7 14700KF. Browsing web temp: Around 30 Degrees C. Playing something graphics intensive, and temps averages 70-75 degrees, and never gets over 80. I had to fiddle with PWM a bit and make sure you look at the case fans to index them to the CPU temp and have them delivering cooler outside air at a faster rate than the 2 fans on this CPU cooler can take it in (i.e say 70% on CPU at 60 degrees Celsius, then make sure case fans supply at 75% at 55-60 degrees Celsius so cooler air is already in case before CPU hits 60 degrees Celsius). I must note, however, this cooler delivers even when you might not be good at adjusting the PWM fan controls. So if you're new or not really confident building a system, just make sure to get the cooler mount right on the CPU and I believe this cooler will deliver. CPU cools from 75C back down to 31C in less than 5 seconds. I used Arctic Cool 4x blah blah and usually use Ceramique so didn't expect this to be as responsive as it is. Oh and I lapped the heatsink up to 2000 grain polishing sandpaper. Beautiful discovery lapping this heatsink is the CPU surface contact heatsink is pure copper. I'll make it simple: Why spend $100+ on fluid cooling that has maintenance and still needs cleanup if you get a leak, when you can buy this ThermalRight heatsink for, at writing of review, $35 and know it will cool it perfectly through turbo temps of 5.6 ghz? And Tom's Hardware mentions the size of the cooler. I promise you it's bigger by maybe 20 cm but that the center offset makes it work out to be thinner on the video card side than a Master Cooler, which also means less heat transmission from the video card into the CPU. Also this cooler clears the curved up Corsair Vengeance DDR 5 RAM too. I hope this review helped you with your build and that if you choose this cooler you are as satisfied as I am or better. Thank you for your time.
