Thermalright Assassin Spirit 120 EVO ARGB CPU Cooler

Thermalright Assassin Spirit 120 EVO ARGB is an air cooler for processors, aimed at mid-range gaming and workstation configurations, where you seek a good balance between temperature, noise, and aesthetics. With a single 120 mm fan and ARGB lighting, it combines stable cooling with a clean appearance in the case. Support for multiple sockets, including AM4/AM5 and LGA 1700/LGA 1851, makes it a flexible choice for modern platforms. The range of 500–2000 RPM allows you to tilt the scales towards silence or more aggressive cooling depending on the load.

What you get

You get an air cooler with a single 120 x 120 x 25 mm fan, which can spin up to 2000 RPM, providing an airflow of up to 68.9 CFM for better heat dissipation from the radiator. The static pressure of 2.21 mm H2O helps the air pass effectively through the tightly arranged fins, which is important in more compact cases or more enclosed internal spaces. The maximum noise level of 28.2 dBA is reasonable for gaming and everyday work, especially with the ability to keep the RPM low under light load. The 4-pin connector gives you PWM control through the motherboard, and the 5V ARGB connection allows you to synchronize the lighting with other components.

• Air cooling with a single 120 x 120 x 25 mm fan, providing easy installation and good compatibility with most mid-tower cases.
• Wide compatibility with sockets AM4, AM5, LGA 1200, LGA 115x, LGA 1700, LGA 1851, so you can use it with both older and current platforms.
• RPM range of 500–2000 RPM, allowing a smooth transition from nearly silent operation to more aggressive cooling under load.
• Airflow of up to 68.9 CFM, which is more than enough for mid-range CPU configurations and long gaming sessions.
• Static pressure of 2.21 mm H2O, helping the air to pass effectively through the radiator even in more enclosed cases.
• Maximum noise level of 28.2 dBA, suitable for systems where you seek a balance between silence and cooling.
• 4-pin PWM connector for flexible RPM control and 5V ARGB for synchronized lighting with other ARGB components.

Who it is suitable for

This cooler is a good choice for mid-range gaming and office configurations where you want reliable air cooling with an ARGB accent, without venturing into extreme high-end solutions. It is suitable if you plan to use an AM4/AM5 or LGA 1700/1851 platform and are looking for something more serious than the stock cooler. It is not the most suitable option if you have a CPU with a very high thermal package and heavy overclocking.

The combination of wide socket support, controllable 500–2000 RPM, good airflow, and 5V ARGB makes Thermalright Assassin Spirit 120 EVO ARGB a practical and flexible choice for a modern system with a clean appearance.
