Thermalright Phantom Spirit 120 SE Black CPU Cooler,Dual TL-C12B V2 PWM Fans and Double Towers, 7 Heat Pipes Heatsink Cooler,for AM4/AM5&Intel LGA1851/1700/115X/1200, Computer CPU Cooling,Black

This is a terrific heatsink/fan combination that is well made and highly affordable. A y-splitter cable is provided to combine the 2x 4 pin PWM connectors into a single 4pin PWN mobo header. The fan even comes with a large tube of Thermalright TF7 paste which is quality paste. This product was purchased for a stock 12700kf, no undervolt or overclock, just stock with intel pref settings (none of that MCE stuff) inside of a H9 Flow case (2025) and there's no issue with noise or sound; keeps the CPU in the low to mid 60's with small bursts to 71c at 70% power in Cyberpunk 2077 with all Raytracing settings maxxed. One thing worth mentioning, if you have large RAM heatsinks, you will need to get creative. If you have low profile ram, you should be fine. Overall, this is a great product with easy installation and quality performance that would rival AIO's.

What can i say? Amazing price & amazing performance, easy piece even with a 9800x3d. Top notch tech for five times less of price. 60° avg playing things like stalker 2, cyberpunk max settings

Great Fan, perfect for my 14600k.

This is one of the best performing low to mid-range priced air coolers you can get, so it performs extremely well. I am cooling an AMD Ryzen 16 core 5900XT at 210 PPT. 4 stars only due to usability. It is tight in my MATX case, so I cannot access anything in there with the cooler mounted. I have to remove it to do basically anything, even get to the fan headers of the cooler, that's ok, but I find the install process while easy, is not actually simple. Often have a difficult time catching the 2nd bolt screw into place on the socket, and I never have any idea if the cooler is aligned with the bolts when I start tightening. If you cannot see well, or feel well in a tight area it is essentially a guess if properly mounted while you try to tighten. It's a big cooler, check the measurements and your case.

I bought this to replace a 240 mm water cooler that was giving me issues. This is very much a budget cooler with good performance. After applying the correct amount of thermal paste, repositioning the fans in my case to blow air out the top and front, I am idling between 37-40 c. It does great at idle and during light loads, loading up some 4k high on Battlefield 6, and it hits as high as 73c on an AMD 9700X. I don't think you can ask more of a sub $40 cooler. UPDATE: I just swapped out the stock fans with three, that's right three, Noctua Redux 120mm fans and idle temps have dropped by 2-3 degrees (35c at idle)! The Noctua fans spin 200 rpm faster at peak and push about 10 more CFM and are quieter. I think performance and value with this setup is a better cooler for your dollar than Noctua's own flagships. If you have some cheap, fast and reasonable pushy fans lying around you can easily improve this HSF already good performance for great performance.

I constantly saw this cooler recommended as the best basic air cooler around. I have to say, it's very well earned as this is an excellent cooler. The package includes a nice set of brackets and standoffs for both AMD and Intel CPUs. A good thermal paste TF7 is also included which I used. Setup was pretty easy, it was a little finicky to seat the two main screws that hold the plate to the CPU. I had to watch a short video to figure out how to attach the metal wires to the fans and then stretch them over the radiator. One thing to note is that the front fan might not fit if your RAM is on the taller side. I had to move the front fan up a few notches which was pretty easy. Performance seems amazing, even under load the fans are quiet and my Ryzen CPU doesn't even break a sweat. It seems AIOs are popular now but I wanted something as simple as possible with good performance and I'm really pleased with this.

I'd go so far as to say it must be the best air cooler on the market, and if not the best, it's definitely among the best. It was incredibly easy to assemble by following the video on this very page; for a beginner like me who’s just starting out with building PCs, it was a huge help. The only thing is that the dimensions aren’t completely accurate, and in my case, one of the fans ended up slightly off-center, This was also because my motherboard has the RAM slots right next to the CPU socket, and since the heatsink is so large and due to the motherboard’s layout, it ended up right on top of the RAM modules. It’s not a problem at all—just a note so you can measure your case and check your motherboard’s layout.

Keeps my AMD 9800X3D (stock) nice and frosty. I used Arctic MX-6 thermal paste. I had surprisingly low temps under 100% load (a year and a half ago when I built my PC and benchmarked it) and I'm too lazy to look for the results but believe me, this thing works really well with this CPU. It's somewhat large but that's why they list the dimensions, it just barely fits in my vintage Lian-Li PC-60 case (if anything, the vertical clearance may be a problem for some cases)

Great cooler, keeps temps really low,ryzen 5 5500 OC'd to 4800Mhz, Temp doesn't go above 70C

Great cooler for moderately power CPUs like a 7950X3D. Have installed this on that CPU in my home server and it keeps the CPU temps at reasonable levels without generating a lot of noise. Easy to install with clear instructions.

When i play games it can’t handle the heat, evertime its reach 100c
