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 am amazed as how big this cooler is and how quiet the fans are compared to my prior AIO cooler's radiator fans. It's top quality and I see why this company has such high ratings! My only gripe and reasons I only give this 4 stars it's because I have RGB RAM sticks that are high profile and the one of the Fans covers them. Bare there is no clearance between the RAM and the Cooler Fan. I have 64 Gigs and wasn't going to dump the current ones to accommodate the fan's profile and size. I have a Ryzen 7 5800X and this big boy keeps it super cool. Under loads it reaches around 60C. Idle stays in the low 30's C. Recommended!

Nowadays, building a pc is expensive. Every once in a while, there are things that come along that are a STEAL in terms of their value proposition. Before getting this cooler, that was the 9070 XT. I was able to snag one at MSRP. But when putting a pc together, I had to decide which route I wanted to go cooling the 9800x3D I bought. Everyone says get an AIO. But I decided to go against the grain here. Not only do I find it a pain in the butt to install an AIO but, it doesn’t provide the longevity I’d want. This air cooler is the best choice I could’ve made. I paired this with kryonaut extreme and a -30undervolt to my cpu. On cinebench, I’m between 79c-82c.It’s quiet. It’s simple to install. There’s fantastic heat mitigation at an amazing price. This IS the cooler to get.
