ThermalrightPhantom Spirit 120 EVO CPU Cooler,7×6mm Heat Pipes CPU Air Cooler,Dual PWM Fan Computer Cooling,2150RPM Speed,for AMD AM4 AM5/Intel 1700/1150/1151/1200/17XX/2011/1851

I recently purchased the Thermalright CPU cooler, and I am very impressed with its performance. The installation was straightforward, and the build quality feels premium. The heatsink design and fan efficiency provide excellent cooling, keeping my CPU temperatures significantly lower even under heavy workloads and gaming sessions.One of the standout features is how quiet it runs compared to other coolers in this price range. Even at higher RPMs, the noise levels remain minimal. The included thermal paste also seems to be of good quality, ensuring optimal heat transfer.The only minor downside is that it might be a bit large for compact builds, so make sure to check your case clearance before purchasing. However, for mid-tower and full-tower cases, this cooler is a fantastic choice.Overall, I highly recommend the Thermalright to anyone looking for a high-performance, budget-friendly CPU cooler.

The media could not be loaded. Im installing it on a ryzen 7 7900x, am5 platform. I switched from an AIO to this. I had my AIO for 4years now and I wanted get ahead and change before something goes wrong.My current cpu tempsIdle: AIO: 47deg, phantom Spirit: 45degGaming (helldivers): AIO: 67ish, phantom Spirit: 67ishCinabench 2024 score: AIO: 1646 phantom spirit: 1647Build quality:The build quality of this is extremely amazing. Feels quality and looks quality. The size is smaller than a nh-d15 but performs on par with it. The fans are amazing quality as well. I was worried with the fan brackets since it seem flimsy. However, after installing it, its very much secure.Cooling Performance:Performs the same as my old Kraken x63 AIO and nh-d15. In some cases, it performs maginally better when compared to both. In my opinion, highend cooling has plateaued and price is the only driving factor.Noise:Its slightly louder than an AIO when on stock (but thats normal, AIOs are quieter in general) However, the performance of this thing is so good that I am able to turn down the fan speeds significantly. I have it at 25% when below 50deg, 40% below 70deg, and 80% at 85deg. Its a very quiet hum for most usage unless im stress testing. My video has the fan speed around 40% and u can barely hear it even with the glass off.Installation:I had a bit of confusion when installing it, because the stand offs say am4 and I was hessitant to just use that for my am5 incase it bends the pins on my motherboard. However, their website says it works for am5 and it does! I was still careful not to overtighten the screws just incase. Additionally, on am5, you dont need a motherboard backplate, its a really easy install process.My only irk:The fans come with two connectors, both the pmw and argb. Its extra wired that I had to manage, but mostly not a problem.Conclusion:This aircooler is a steal and a must buy for any build! I suggest even if you dont a highend cpu to get this one and use it for years to come! Its literally highend cooling for less than 1/2 the price. I feel like modern AIOs are not worth it anymore unless you are going for a certain aesthetic. Especially with the AIOs many potential failure points.Additional tips:If you use a 7000 series ryzen, i highly recommend you undervolt it as it would use significantly less power for almost the same performance. My temps went down by 18degs for a 2% performance loss.

I've been using this for just over a year now on my 7800X3D build, and the temps have been consistently great. I was debating between this and an AIO, and while an AIO looks nicer, I've been pleased with the cost savings and cooling ability of this cooler. This usually keeps my temps below 70 C while gaming.It was easy enough to install and fits well in my case. I chose this one over the design that has the heat pipes sticking out of the top mostly based on looks and the fan RGB, but had I chosen the alternative model, I don't think it would have fit in my case - a Fractal Meshify C. Keep in mind the extra height of the version with the heat pipes sticking out, especially if you have a smaller case.

Keeps a 5700x3d at 58°c in a lancool 2 mesh, running full benchmarks. Really easy install and very good looking, plus it's silent! 10/10

I'd give it 5/5 stars, but I just installed it today!If you're looking for a CPU cooler to cool your 9800X3D down this is it! And would probably even work on all of 9000 series CPU's as well. I had a corsair capellix 150T(AIO) and everything I'd load up black ops 6 or start downloading games my 9800X3D would never get below 85°C and spike up on load to 96°C. I always liked the cool RGB and AIO's but knew i had to make a switch and for $50 why not give it a shot! Let me tell you I just got done installing it which was super easy and I'm completely satisfied I'm now 40°C playing black ops 6 and downloading games at most I've seen it go to 50°C. I have a Hyte Y70 case so a pretty big case and it works flawlessly and looks cool. Best switch to go from AIO to Air cooled and for the longevity of my CPU!

So I'm using this in an MSI X870E Carbon WiFi with the AMD 9800X3D. This is a super combination, upgrading from my Noctua NH-U14S. What a difference. At similar volume levels, the Thermalright is several degrees cooler. While yes, the Noctua is quieter at max RPM, at equivalent RPMs the Thermalright is quieter. It's not even fair to say the Noctua is quieter, because of course it is - it tops out at 1500rpm, whereas the Thermalright will go to 2150rpm! At 1500rpm, the Thermaltake setup is quieter than the Noctua. It's that simple.In Cinebench R23 multi-core, I'm seeing mid 70s temperatures max (with a small undervolt of -20 on all cores). Fantastic. The RGB is subtle and fun, though the sandwiched fan doesn't show it off super well.Overall, this is fantastic value, and cools the 9800X3D easily.5 out of 5.
