THERMALRIGHT Assassin Spirit 120 V2

Thermalright today introduced the Assassin Spirit 120 V2, a slim, tower-type CPU air cooler. Measuring 120 mm x 48 mm x 154 mm (WxDxH), and weighing in at 500 g, this cooler is designed for thermal loads of up to 235 W, which means it should run even high-end processors at their stock settings, at lower noise levels from the single fan.

Its design involves a copper base, from which four 6 mm-thick copper heatpipes make direct contact with the processor, conveying heat through the aluminium fin-stack, which is capped off by a die-cast metal top-plate.

The TL-C12C V2 120 mm fan included with the Thermalright Assassin Spirit 120 V2, features a fluid-dynamic bearing, takes in 4-pin PWM input, turns at speeds of up to 1,500 RPM, pushing up to 66.17 CFM of airflow, at a maximum static-pressure of 1.53 mm H₂O, and noise output of 25.6 dBA.

A 2 g syringe of 9.5 W/mK Thermalright TF4 thermal paste comes included with the cooler. Among the CPU socket types supported are LGA1700, AM5, AM4, LGA1200, and LGA115x.
