Thermalright Burst Assassin 120 ARGB CPU Cooler

The Thermalright Burst Assassin 120 ARGB is a high-performance tower-style CPU cooler designed to provide efficient cooling and vibrant ARGB lighting for a wide range of desktop processors. It features a robust design with six heat pipes utilizing AGHP (Anti-Gravity Heat Pipe) technology, which enhances thermal transfer efficiency regardless of the cooler's orientation. These heat pipes effectively draw heat away from the CPU to the dense fin stack, ensuring optimal thermal management even under demanding workloads.

Equipped with a 120mm PWM ARGB fan (model TL-C12CG-S), this cooler delivers excellent airflow and static pressure for effective heat dissipation. The PWM control allows for dynamic fan speed adjustments based on the CPU temperature, providing powerful cooling when needed and quieter operation during less intensive use. The ARGB lighting on the fan adds a dynamic and customizable aesthetic to your system, and it is designed to be compatible with motherboard ARGB control systems for synchronized lighting effects.

The Burst Assassin 120 ARGB offers broad socket compatibility, supporting many popular Intel LGA sockets (including 115x, 1200, 1700, and possibly newer) and AMD AM sockets (including AM4, AM5). Based on general information and similar Thermalright models, it is expected to handle CPUs with a TDP of up to around 150W, making it suitable for many mainstream and mid-range processors. The fan utilizes an S-FDB (Sealed Fluid Dynamic Bearing) for quiet and reliable operation over an extended lifespan. The inclusion of thermal paste simplifies the installation process. This cooler is an excellent choice for users seeking a combination of strong cooling performance, effective AGHP technology, attractive ARGB lighting, and reliable operation.
