Thermalright has been engineering high-performance cooling for over two decades. The Peerless Assassin 120 SE is their most compelling argument yet, delivering cooling power that rivals premium models for a fraction of the price.

It handles up to 265 watts of heat, which means it can quietly tame even overclocked modern CPUs. The twin-tower design with six heat pipes spreads thermal load efficiently. In daily use, your system stays remarkably quiet under load, and the straightforward mounting system makes installation less intimidating than it looks.

The included fans use a standard 4-pin PWM connection for precise speed control. While the cooler is large, it maintains broad compatibility with most cases and RAM kits. This is a no-frills component that excels at its one job: keeping your CPU temperatures in check without draining your wallet.
