CPU cooler Thermalright Burst Assassin 120 EVO Dark CPU Cooler

Thermalright Burst Assassin 120 EVO Dark is an air cooler for mid to high-end processors, aimed at stable and quiet configurations. It comes with two 120 mm fans for more serious airflow and better cooling under load. It supports modern sockets like AM4, AM5, and LGA 1700, making it fully relevant for new platforms. The clean black design without RGB is good news if you want a neat, unobtrusive look in your case.

What you get

With two 120 x 120 x 25 mm fans and a total airflow of up to 124.17 CFM, this cooler can effectively dissipate heat from the radiator, helping to maintain lower CPU temperatures during gaming and rendering. The range of 500 to 1500 RPM gives you a balance between silence and cooling – low speeds for light loads and higher speeds when you need to maintain boost frequencies longer. The noise level of up to 25.6 dBA is moderate for a dual 120 mm setup and is suitable for a system that you don’t want to be constantly loud. The standard 4 PIN connector allows PWM control through the motherboard, so you can adjust the fan profiles according to your noise and temperature requirements. The universal support for popular Intel and AMD sockets gives you peace of mind that you will use it for future platform upgrades.

• Air cooling – easy to install and maintain solution, with no worries about liquids and pumps.
• Support for AM4, AM5, LGA 1200, LGA 115x, LGA 1700, LGA 1851 sockets – wide compatibility with current and older platforms, convenient for upgrades.
• Two 120 x 120 x 25 mm fans – push-pull configuration for more effective expulsion of warm air through the radiator.
• Airflow 124.17 CFM – provides serious throughput for cooling hotter CPUs under prolonged load.
• Speed 500–1500 RPM – flexible range that allows quiet idle and more aggressive cooling under load.
• Noise level 25.6 dBA – balanced noise profile for a dual fan, suitable for gaming and work without annoying noise.
• 4 PIN PWM connector – allows for automatic and precise speed control through BIOS or software.
• Black color, no RGB – clean, discreet look that fits minimalist or stealth builds.

Who it is suitable for

Thermalright Burst Assassin 120 EVO Dark is a good choice for gamers and enthusiasts with mid-range and more serious CPUs who want air cooling with two fans without unnecessary lights. It is suitable for 1440p gaming and heavier productivity, where stable temperatures are important, and noise needs to be kept under control. If you are looking for an RGB show or extreme overclocking experiments with the hottest chips, there may be more suitable, bulkier solutions.

The combination of two 120 mm fans, high airflow, and wide compatibility with modern sockets makes Burst Assassin 120 EVO Dark a practical and balanced option for a serious build that keeps your CPU cool under control.
