Thermalright Peerless Assassin 120 SE ARGB White Dual-Tower CPU Cooler

Thermalright Peerless Assassin 120 SE ARGB White is a dual-tower air CPU cooler aimed at mid-range and more serious gaming and work configurations. It relies on two 120 mm fans and solid airflow to keep temperatures under control even under higher loads. The white design and ARGB lighting make it suitable for builds with open panels and a focus on aesthetics. At the same time, it remains balanced in terms of noise – up to 25.6 dBA at maximum speeds.

What you get

The two 120 x 120 x 25 mm fans operate in a range from 500 to 1550 RPM, giving you good flexibility between silence and cooling capability. With a total airflow of 132.34 CFM and maximum pressure of 1.53 mm H2O, the cooler can effectively push air through the dense aluminum fins of the dual-tower configuration. This is important if you plan long gaming sessions or renders where the CPU is under load for hours. The ARGB connector (5V) allows you to synchronize the lighting with the other components, while the 4-pin PWM control enables automatic speed regulation according to the CPU temperature.

• Air cooling with a dual-tower design that provides stable heat dissipation from the CPU without the complexity of water systems.
• Compatibility with multiple sockets – AM4, AM5, LGA 115x, LGA 1200, LGA 1700, and LGA 1851, so you can use it for future platform upgrades.
• Two included fans sized 120 x 120 x 25 mm, covering the entire heat exchanger and improving cooling for higher TDP CPUs.
• Wide speed range – from 500 to 1550 RPM, allowing quiet operation at idle and more aggressive cooling under load.
• Total airflow up to 132.34 CFM, suitable for heavily loaded systems and long gaming/work sessions.
• Maximum static pressure 1.53 mm H2O, helping the air to pass effectively through the dense fins of the radiator.
• Low noise level up to 25.6 dBA, so the system remains relatively quiet even at higher speeds.
• 4-pin PWM and 5V ARGB connectors, giving you both intelligent fan control and full freedom for lighting synchronization.

Who it is suitable for

Peerless Assassin 120 SE ARGB White is a good choice if you are building a gaming or productive machine on AM4/AM5 or current Intel sockets and want serious air cooling with a good balance between noise and performance. It is suitable for cases with transparent panels and ARGB concepts, where appearance also matters. If you are aiming for a completely silent system or extreme overclocking, you might look at bulkier air solutions or custom water cooling, but for most builds, this is a very reasonable middle ground.

The combination of dual-tower design, two 120 mm PWM fans, and ARGB in a white casing makes this cooler a practical choice that covers both temperatures and the aesthetics of modern PC builds.
