Thermalright Assassin Spirit 120 EVO White ARGB CPU Cooler

Thermalright Assassin Spirit 120 EVO White ARGB is an air cooler for processors, aimed at mid-range configurations, where you want good temperature control without excessive noise and cost. The combination of a 120 mm fan and solid airflow parameters makes it a suitable choice for modern gaming and work PCs. The white design and Addressable RGB lighting add a clean visual accent if your build has a glass window. Support for current sockets like AM5, AM4, LGA 1700, and LGA 1851 means you are covered for new platforms.

What you get

The base here is a 120 x 120 x 25 mm fan that operates in a wide range of 500–2000 RPM, so you can set it from almost silent mode to more aggressive cooling under load. With an airflow of up to 68.9 CFM and maximum pressure of 2.21 mm H2O, the cooler performs well in both more open cases and in more compact builds with denser radiators and less airflow. The noise level of up to 28.2 dBA is within the comfortable range for everyday work and gaming without annoying whirring. The 4-PIN PWM connector gives you automatic speed control based on CPU temperature, while the 5V ARGB connection allows synchronization of the lighting with other components.

• Air cooling with a 120 mm fan measuring 120 x 120 x 25 mm, suitable for standard ATX and microATX cases.
• Wide RPM range of 500–2000 RPM, allowing for quiet mode at idle and higher performance under load.
• Maximum airflow of 68.9 CFM, ensuring effective heat dissipation from the radiator even with warmer CPUs.
• Maximum static pressure of 2.21 mm H2O, helping with better airflow through the blades and denser sections in the case.
• Noise level of up to 28.2 dBA, which is suitable for gaming and work without buzzing annoyingly in your ears.
• Support for multiple sockets: AM4, AM5, LGA 115x, LGA 1200, LGA 1700, LGA 1851, giving you flexibility for upgrades and platform changes.
• 4 PIN PWM connector and 5V Addressable RGB for precise speed control and synchronized ARGB lighting with other components.

Who it is suitable for

This cooler is a good choice if you are building a mid-range gaming or all-round build and looking for a balance between performance, noise, and aesthetics. It is suitable for white and RGB-oriented configurations where effective cooling is important, but it should also look good. If you plan heavy overclocking on high-end enthusiast CPUs, it might be wise to look towards larger towers or AIOs, but for standard and slightly tweaked systems, the Assassin Spirit 120 EVO White ARGB is completely adequate.

The combination of a wide RPM range, decent airflow, and quiet operating profile, along with current socket compatibility and ARGB lighting, makes this cooler a very reasonable choice for a clean, modern build.
