I used it on a ryzen 5 65w TDP CPU. I ran a stress tester for 20 minutes and the temps stabilised at 50 degrees or so. Suffice to say its pretty overkill, this cooler would probably be enough even for a 105W cpu like a ryzen 7 (the listing says its rated for 120W i think) Review: Great cooler for 65 watt TDP - Using it on a TDP 65 watt Intel i5 11400F. Cooling At idle temps are around 28c at load around 50c. Its really quiet. Thermal paste was fine and had plenty. Was easy to install. ## Features - [Brand Overview] Thermalright is a Taiwan brand with more than 20 years of development.

Cooling At idle temps are around 28c at load around 50c. Its really quiet. Thermal paste was fine and had plenty. Was easy to install. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Amazing *by T***B on 30 June 2025* Do not think that because this is a cheaper cooler it will perform as such, if you have a stock cooler i wouldn't hesitate to buy this immediately, My CPU is getting a bit old now and ill be upgrading that later in the year but to help it out a bit i thought id get a new cooler to hopefully assist with better temps especially now its much hotter outside, looks good and the temps have dropped significantly to the point i it feels like its improved overall performance, i haven't noticed it being loud either other than when i ramped it up myself to check, was louder but of course expected. ## Frequently Bought Together - Thermalright Assassin X120 Refined SE CPU Air Cooler, 4 Heatpipes, TL-C12C PWM Fan, for AMD AM4/AM5 Intel 1700/1150/1151/1200 - Kingston NV3 NVMe PCIe 4.0 Internal SSD 1TB M.2 2280-SNV3S/1000G - Corsair VENGEANCE LPX DDR4 RAM 32GB (2x16GB) 3200MHz CL16 Intel XMP 2.0 Computer Memory - Black (CMK32GX4M2E3200C16) --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.us/products/473848749-thermalright-assassin-x120-refined-se-cpu-air-cooler-4-heatpipes](https://www.desertcart.us/products/473848749-thermalright-assassin-x120-refined-se-cpu-air-cooler-4-heatpipes) --- *Product available on Desertcart United States of America* *Store origin: US* *Last updated: 2026-08-01*
