This is awesome I wish I'd installed it sooner. I had a Corsair AIO water cooler and it never seemed to act right. I know it was installed correctly (i've built quite a few PC's over the decades), but for example sometimes the CPU block light would come on, sometimes it wouldn't. My CPU would run hot (5800x3d) and I felt that the AIO just wasn't working well enough. It WAS working, just not as well as I thought it should.Saw this cooler on Amazon for less than $40. and on impulse picked it up, and it sat under my desk for probably more than half a year. I just never seemed to have the time to take apart my desktop and remove the AIO and install this.Well last week I got tired of feeling like I had a space heater under my desk and finally swapped them out and the difference is like night and day. For one thing it blows the hot air 'back' instead of 'up' at me, and somehow it's about 5-8 degrees cooler. Which doesn't sound like a lot but it does make a difference. Maybe I should've used a 3 fan AIO instead of a 2 fan AIO, but I was worried the larger 3 fan wouldn't fit.The desktop is running fine, temps are low, this CPU cooler looks 'cool' and everything is running fine.I wish the fan aRGB wires were just a tiny bit longer, even just an inch or two would've been better. I had to run them down behind the MB and up through the bottom to get to the right header on my ASUS mb, and the cords just barely reached. But other than that there were no issues.the RGB for them is controlled by the Armoury Crate software and I've had no issues with it.All in all it's a great cooler and I'd recommend it pretty highly.

Note that the cooler's size means one fan will likely interfere with non low profile RAM (Vengeance LPX). The fan that interferes (if it does) can be moved slightly upwards, which will not harm performance in any meaningful way but will look a bit worse.Reasonably quick to assemble, but do pay attention to the side the thermaltake logo and heap pipes are facing.Comes with thermal paste, keep in mind the paste is very thick so you may want an old card on hand to help with application (does not need to be spread if it's a large pea size dot near the center of the cpu, the cooler spread it out once applied). The card (or any other small edged tool - plastic to avoid scratching the cpu) will help with getting the paste to stop sticking to the applicator and moving the blob to the center of the cpu!Keeps even the Ryzen 9 9950x3d at good temps up to a 78 celcius max after sustained workloads, with minimal thermal throttling (cinebench scores remain high). The cooler is overall quiet (no AIO pump whir helps), well built (lifted the relatively heavy X870E Nova with it). And the fans are PWM adjustable with RGB support using the standard ARGB header.

The Thermalright Phantom Spirit 120SE is just the best CPU air cooler on the market for modern CPUs. Whether you use intel or AMD, this cooler will keep you running cool even under heavy loads like gaming or video animations. Very easy to install and looks great on your motherboard. Dual 120mm fans keep air moving and the noise level is quite modest. A good air cooler will outlast every liquid cooling solution there is. You'll have to replace the fans once every 5-6 years while liquid coolers have a lifespan of 3-5 years total.

It’s MASSIVE pics don’t do justice to the size of it. Barely fit inside my case. Super quiet despite the size. Has dropped idle temps down to 45c and under load temps to around 60-65c.

This is the best CPU cooler I’ve ever used. Installation is made easy by the little bits of adhesive they put on the backplate, a pleasant surprise. The fans do make some noise, but an acceptable amount for the cooling they provide. The RGB looks great too. My overclocked 10850K pulling 210 watts running Cinebench is sitting around 80C. No other cooler that fits in my NR200 has given me this much thermal headroom, and I’ve tried three others. It fits comfortably in my Mini ITX build with plenty of clearance for the RAM. At $37 this is a no-brainer.

It’s really good. There were a couple things that brought it down a star. For one, when trying to install the fan clips, I sliced my finger on the metal and started bleeding. Second, one of the pins was slightly shorter than the other disallowing it to properly connect. Lastly, it’s a tiny bit loud but small drawback for big cooling. For reference, I have a Ryzen 5 9600x and it remained cool even under heavy load. Its range of colors is appealing, works well, and was easy enough to install (assuming you have slim and small fingers).
