Elegant Design: The Assassin King 120 SE surprises with its visually appealing design. It strikes a balance between aesthetics and budget-consciousness, making it suitable for various PC setups. (it's installed on a i7 12700k, and CPU temps are stable at idle at around 28-32°C). Quiet Operation: The included fan operates at a maximum noise level of around 25 dBA. If you value a quiet system, this cooler won’t disrupt your peace. Decent Cooling Power: Equipped with five 6mm heat pipes and a single fan, the Assassin King 120 SE provides substantial cooling. It’s ideal for users with low to moderate cooling needs. The cooler’s straightforward installation method aligns with mainstream air coolers.

  • Great (“better than stock!”) budget cooler for older OR newer Intel builds.
Style: AK120 SE
Cools better than stock on every platform tested, using “X” pattern thermal paste. Used on i7 CPUs, nice QUIET fan with spring mount- easy to pop off to clean. Hard to beat price point for value. Sharp style & color ensure this will not clash with newer motherboard aesthetics. Zero issues or DOA units Across several builds. Backplate helps brace mobowell. Color options in mounting hardware are a nice touch. Will be using more of these. ... show more

  • A great cooler with an affordable price
Style: AK120 SE WHITE ARGB
This cooler was a great choice for the price that is listed. It is quiet, and also it can be easily controlled with my own board driver so I could synchronized it with mi other fans and my RAM's without any problem. It looks cool, quiet, keeps my temperature low and it was fully compatible with everything in my pc. It also came with Intel holder, but I didn't use it cause I use it for a Ryzen. ... show more

  • Best bang for the buck
Style: AK120 SE WHITE ARGB
I'm a PC guy, always have been and probably always will be. With that being said, I build a lot of computers for family and friends, and the most common restraint I work with is cost. Whenever someone needs to game on a budget, I always fall back to this cooler to get the job done. It works so well, I am in fact thinking about just replacing my nice AIO with one of these as they are almost whisper quiet (which is something I value more and more as time goes on). On top of it all, while basic, it's fairly stylish and comes in enough colors to suit more builds. If you just need a cooler that is functional, cheap, and not bad looking, I highly recommend giving this one some consideration. Even if your CPU comes with a stock cooler, this is likely going to be a nice upgrade. One thing to note, I would not recommend this is you plan to do even moderate overclocking (which I don't really recommend you do anyway). This is a fantastic cooler for most CPUs at stock settings. ... show more

  • Amazing Cooler for the price.
Style: AK120 SE ARGB
Absolutely love this cooler. Not only is it a good price but it keeps my R5 3600 cool. The RGB looks amazing and it’s not loud at all. It feels high quality, performs amazing for its price.

  • Hesitant to buy but, it does VERY well.
Style: AK120 SE WHITE ARGB
The Thermalright Assassin King 120 SE, is a great CPU air cooler. One thing to note is that I have 9 fans in the case so cooling isn't an issue for me. Performance is on par with the more expensive and overpriced options out there especially if you enable smart fan curve in your BIOS (if available). It's Size is small enough to fit most cases and the Color is white which blends perfectly with my all white build. Mountability is easy and installation is a snap making for a quick build to play time. As far as noise, I've read reviews about others like the peerless assassin and this one saying that it's too loud but I can assure that it is not. Nothing in this world is whisper quite but this... this does it for me. With a Yeston AMD RX 7800 XT and a Ryzen 7 7700x with A-XMP Profile set to run the ram at it's advertised and required 5200 MT/s speed, it keeps the CPU cool while editing/rendering videos at roughly 54-55C occasionally jumping up to 66-70C but that's normal for the type of CPU. I'd recommend grabbing this! ... show more
