FYI I installed the fans like this due to the ram ...you are supposed to install on the left fan over the ram instead ..but I did it this way to allow rgb ram to show and incase u need ram clearance ... if your not worried about it ..just install it how it's recommended with one in the middle and one on the right and direct airflow to the rear of case ... this way your fans are installed with the frame against the cooling fins
Hello, I am interested in the way you installed it, I would like to know what difference there is in performance between installing it the way you did, or installing it the normal way. thank you!
@@peppymus the performance is about the same ...biggest difference is being able to see your rgb ram and slight noise increase due to how the fan is placed ...with the blade against the fins.
Thank you for making this a Short so it can be concise. Your arm was in the way a few times but it's understandable enough lol. Never installed an air cooler before but I'm about to build my cousin's PC so this will be my first time.
another thing your meant to install one of the fans above the ram... for a push config ..but I did it this way to clear the ram and also incase u have rgb ram u wanna show off ... u don't wanna cover the rgb right?
Should probably put that fan pointing out towards the ram for better airflow aswell as cooling the ram, a 120mm fan mounted on the back of the case will be good enough and won’t benefit from the cooler fan being right up next to it
yep good point .. this is only if u don't want the fan covering your ram.. but yes that is the manufacturer recommended mounting ... I just didn't want to cover the ram... but yes ur right... push is def better... however it doesn't make too much of a difference in cooling and performance ....having said that.. in the end I guess u have to improvise sometimes...if u had to do it this way..would be better to get a spacer ...so isn't hard up against cooling fins... thanks for the share I appreciate it... I do recommend to do it the way ur saying... its just an option if u don't wanna cover the ram cuz of rgb or whatever
Those thermalight coolers rock - got my thermal assasin 120 for a week ago and im so satisfied with it. I mean even packaging and materials feel crazy premium for the price tag. It does fit like a charm with 3-5mm space from RAM which is quite high profile and fans fit fully the cooler without sticking above - its tight but it works and temps are 100% as they should on everything. I recommend them very much. PS: ROcking a Ryzen 5600X in a phanteks 400A case with Tridend Z Neo ram which is quite high due to coolers - Cinebench 10 min stress test doesnt exceed more than 62 degrees without or with minimal thermal throttling. - for 40 bucks its perfection. Stock cooler in stress test was up to 78 easy. Why i write it? I know its phantom spirit 120 se you use but its 95% similar to the 120 asssasin so hope its okay!!
As mentioned before push is certainly better BUT that’s not only thing wrong about this. By putting most fans in a pull config next to a case or heat sink it creates turbulence and usually more noise. The way he installed those fans is the absolute worst way. Noctua even makes thicker corner pads for pull fans on U14S and other coolers. I learned this by accident when I added a 3rd fan on a d15 and I noticed right away a droning sort of noise. Sure enough the pull fan config places the spinning blades too close to an object. The push side also has the motor mounts which places the fan just enough inside the frame to avoid turbulence noise. You can test what I am saying by placing anything near the pull intake side of a fan. Even your hand will cause noise when placed to close. I did make a super short video of the thicker pads it doesn’t play the sound though.
I'll try this and actually test the temps... didnu control ur fan speeds wen u did a push pull? obviously the only reason why I installed it this way was for ram clearance so in the case of noctua coolers where they only have 1 fan... is that not pull for one side and push for the other ?
@@MIKEYZVLOGZ Noctua dual tower coolers (D15) that come with two fans are BOTH installed in push push. Their single tower coolers (U14S) come with a single fan. BUT they include in the box thicker corner pads for when people add a second fan to it which is fairly common on single tower coolers. Push/pull configs is common. Not as common is someone adding a 3rd fan (pull) to their dual tower coolers which is why they don’t include these extra thicker pads on the D15.
@@MIKEYZVLOGZ And yes I do control my fan speeds in all CPU coolers in the house. But if you install your fans right you won't need to reduce the fan speed down so far to avoid hearing the self induced noise penalty of a pull fan not properly gapped. I actually made a VERY basic video talking about this, it only is to show these fan spacers and doesn't give a before and after test. I should make one though as next to no one understands this.
@@MIKEYZVLOGZ "so in the case of noctua coolers where they only have 1 fan... is that not pull for one side and push for the other?" The way they designed the fan to be installed on these dual tower coolers like the D15 is to have the push side on left tower (looking from the open side panel of the case). So this middle fan is pushing air on the left tower. The intake side of the fan is not flush with the right tower, this gap is what keeps it as quiet as possible. Sure some air will pull in through the right tower which is an added bonus but because of that gap on the pull side there is no negative. The way you installed both fans in pull pull adds noise because both are too close to the heatsink. If you must not cover your RAM modules for whatever reason I would just recommend a single middle push fan configuration like the Noctua D15 single fan version. If you can find spacers on the rear fan on the far left then great but if not just don't use it. Doing this will allow you to run fans with far more direct air flow without the unnecessary fan speed reduction to avoid the self induced noise of pull fans installed incorrectly.
@DevilChowder correct... u could always switch the one on the left to the right and then its push pull which is considered better ..I did it this way cuz of ram
Unless you absolutely need the clearance for ram normally all you need to do is raise your fan just enough to clear the ram. As long as you can close your case. Also set both fans to the same height to make it look more uniform and clean. Avoid pull fans unless you can gap them properly to avoid added noise. I run 2 push 140mm fans and 1 pull 140mm fan on my D15 cooler BUT the pull fan is properly gapped using a Noctua created accessory purposefully to run pull fans on their heat sinks. I don’t expect people to “just trust me bro” but they should trust Noctua and they specifically made a part for this very reason. Most people online do not know about this.
@@MIKEYZVLOGZyou should try to have almost all your fans push and what the guy said above me is exactly what I did with my phantom spirit, minus the noctua
there is a video comparing this with the peerless assassin which is interesting, beats it but not by much (not surprising given it's just one more heat pipe), but what would be interesting is to see this tested with different cpu's. I've got old kit that used to run up to max 95 degrees and always in 80 degree level with stock cooler, and it works very well (max 62 degrees now), but today's cpus run a LOT hotter it seems and 80 ish degrees seems to be acceptable now.

I purchased this cooler as a replacement for my old Cooler Master AIO. It arrived on time. Upon inspecting it I found a noticeable nick in the nickel of the baseplate (not bad enough to send back or affect performance). After installation and testing it out performed my AIO, so that was great, but.......one of the included fans "rattles" until it gets up to speed. It sounds like bad bearings in the fan hub. I have contacted Thermalright support to see if they will help and replace the bad fan. We shall see.
Your testing will result in added noise and less cooling. And to make it even worse is the added noise from pull fans spinning to close to an object cause turbulence. People then must turn their fan down further then needed in a push config just to mask their unnecessary noise they added in pull. If you must run pull fans find a way to add a slight gap between the fan and the heatsink to eliminate this turbulence noise.
I have an assus rog strix z690-f, paired with an h5 flow case and Corsair Vengance ddr5 RGB, You think my case will close if I put the fan on top of the ram?
ye it should ..seems it was designed for that . . however remember u can always move it to the left or remove ut completely . u mat not get as much cooling but it's still gonna do the job... these are some of the adjustments we make ... or else u always gotta check all specs and clearances before hand
you can slide the fans about a bit, but I made a cardboard cutout of the dimensions and used that to see if clearances were there. You can always use a pull pull config anyhow.
Hey Mikey, I know someone had mentioned about the fan placement. I do agree with what you did and personally I want my rgb to show on my ram, but was going to ask how the noise is? If there’s an exhaust fans I read online that it might be louder because of turbulence?
yes it does blow louder ... one way u can help is to place rubber stands that are equally sized between the fan and the cooling fins to help reduce noise ..as yes it's a bit louder when you do this..it's true due to the blades being so closed it makes more sound...

@@MIKEYZVLOGZ sorry, should’ve specified this is a problem on my end. the fan is only touching the radiator that it’s attached to, i have to force the other radiator to touch it. will this be a problem?
@SkeliTube it doesn't have to touch both radiator fins..it works by directing air away from the radiator fins..thereby cooling the fins and cooling cpu... it only has to clamp to one side of the dual tower fins
man, I have 4 stick RBG RAM, it would waste the purpose of RGB RAM if I install the fan like how is it "supposed" to be and covering the RAM, and I am not a fan of AIO, this is my main concern buying this kind of air cooler.
100 % i feel ya mate, that why i suggest u can do it the other way, however wat ppl are saying does have merit, where it does make abit more noise wen u flip the fan around the other side , as it will be like a inwd tunnel affect, although i have never had that much trouble with it, there is a noticeable louder fan noise , but if your not too fussed and care more about your asthetics then just install it the other way, u could lower thre fan speed and on the fan and that will help with noise too , u can also get a bracket to help raise the fan off the cooler fins and that will also reduce afan noise
@@MIKEYZVLOGZhey props to you still. Just installed this and your vid came in clutch. I would just say I had to look at another video to understand the fan orientation and which way it needed to be on. But still helped along the way and now the pc is back up!
The fans should be lined up with the top of the finstack. You are wasting air flow to move air across nothing. The fan on the right. Should be placed on the outside of the fin stack above the ram. The second should be in between the 2 fin stacks. Instead of sucking in cool air. You are forcing the fan to suck in hot air from the cooler rather that cooler air being forced through it as it is designed to work. Please review gamers nexus on this cooler. It will help you understand why the fans need to be placed in this orientation due to how it operates for peak efficiency.
yes u are right..the only reason I did this was because of the ram ... but i agree with you... I was also showing another way to set it up for those who want to have their ram showing esp if they have rgb ram...

have the evo version, installed outside case, regretted it. Had to hold the motherboard one hand and case other hand and pull through the cpu wires bit by bit with fingers. As at top couldnt gain access... I didnt think about it so huge pain, prefrer i install the block after the motherboard.
Hi Does RGB works with Aura Sync? Thanks
yes
I'm also having ram clearance issues I guess I'll install it like this too
u can mate not a massive deal breaker ..it will still cool
plus ull see your ram if u have rgb too... but the purpose of doing what I did was for ram.clerance .. and rgb view
Yeah I have gskill rgb it looks like it will be good. Got my pc cleaned and disassembled, cpu and cooler installed need to wire it up and reassemble tomorrow 🤞 hope it posts

Buddy I just bought the same Corsair vengeance kit.
Can I still use the cooler with one fan near the ram slots ? Or would I need to adjust it.
@aidan216 yes just raise Tue fan higher
Ist der Thermalright Peerless Assassin 120 SE ARGB gut für eine 9 5900x oder gibt es in der preisklasse was besseres?
Mainboard: b550m pro vdh wifi
Der lüfter sollte in das mainboard passen, auch mit ram.
Danke im vorraus.
i have one with a 7950x, my pbo goes up to about 5.4 to 5.5ghz at 85 degrees so should be good for 5900x
fan should be facing the ram or otherside ?
other side
Is the thermal paste included??
@@scottexs yes sure is
the fan in the middle is not touching both of the other cooler things it’s just touching one
how do u mean
@@MIKEYZVLOGZ sorry, should’ve specified this is a problem on my end. the fan is only touching the radiator that it’s attached to, i have to force the other radiator to touch it. will this be a problem?
@SkeliTube it doesn't have to touch both radiator fins..it works by directing air away from the radiator fins..thereby cooling the fins and cooling cpu... it only has to clamp to one side of the dual tower fins
@@MIKEYZVLOGZ okay thank you so much
@@SkeliTube ur welcome
man, I have 4 stick RBG RAM, it would waste the purpose of RGB RAM if I install the fan like how is it "supposed" to be and covering the RAM, and I am not a fan of AIO, this is my main concern buying this kind of air cooler.
100 % i feel ya mate, that why i suggest u can do it the other way, however wat ppl are saying does have merit, where it does make abit more noise wen u flip the fan around the other side , as it will be like a inwd tunnel affect, although i have never had that much trouble with it, there is a noticeable louder fan noise , but if your not too fussed and care more about your asthetics then just install it the other way, u could lower thre fan speed and on the fan and that will help with noise too , u can also get a bracket to help raise the fan off the cooler fins and that will also reduce afan noise
i like that screwdriver :)
me too do cheap only 35 aud from Amazon
@@MIKEYZVLOGZ can you sand me link plz?
@@vukgazdic21 yep sure
@@MIKEYZVLOGZ what you think about am5 frames for socet are they ok to buy?I found thermalrights an aliexpress for 10 €
@vukgazdic21 alot ofnppl say u don't need it but doesn't hurt for the price..esp wen it helps keep thermalnpasye away from the cpu
Your wild for that screwdriver
I f...en love it bron
@@MIKEYZVLOGZhey props to you still. Just installed this and your vid came in clutch. I would just say I had to look at another video to understand the fan orientation and which way it needed to be on. But still helped along the way and now the pc is back up!
cheers mate thanks for subscribing and welcome to the channel... I appreciate u
buenas saludos desde venezuela quisiera que mostrara como colocar los cable por fa
The fans should be lined up with the top of the finstack. You are wasting air flow to move air across nothing.
The fan on the right. Should be placed on the outside of the fin stack above the ram. The second should be in between the 2 fin stacks.
Instead of sucking in cool air. You are forcing the fan to suck in hot air from the cooler rather that cooler air being forced through it as it is designed to work.
Please review gamers nexus on this cooler. It will help you understand why the fans need to be placed in this orientation due to how it operates for peak efficiency.
yes u are right..the only reason I did this was because of the ram ... but i agree with you... I was also showing another way to set it up for those who want to have their ram showing esp if they have rgb ram...
@@MIKEYZVLOGZ love these coolers. Price for performance is just unmatched unless you want to go AIO or some kind of WC system. Hope it works well for you ❤
@richarddesimone960 ye nah 100 percent its onw of the best air coolers out there keeps up with the noctua ones ... and for the price u can't go wrong seriously... it even beats some.of the cheaper aios like the deepco and ID Cooling brands ..which is amazing 👏
This kicked my 90$ deepcool aios ass
bro thats awesome , which deepcool was it may iu ask so we can inform, ppl

Please never stick your back plate to your Motherboard, especially if it's a brand like Thermalright. The quality of double-sided tape could be shoddy and leave residue if you ever have to remove the back plate. Never in my life have I seen that method of holding the BP on before installing the hardware.
it comes off right away with isotropy alcohol or a it of heat ... u won't see any residue left over ...but if that's what u prefer ..by all means go for it... thanks for sharing that tho... I'm sure some ppl do it too
@@MIKEYZVLOGZ that's good to know. I was urgent about it because I've had so many times where something with a sticker doesn't come off clean and makes a mess.
@drpork1360 ye I feel ya man... I learnt it a different way because I bought a used mobo and the guy couldn't remove the plate and I told him use a hair dryer and then is alcohol and it worked like a charm ..came right off
No compatible con Asrock steel legend 😭
why not ?
Fan installed incorrectly😂😂
yes I know I did it to clear ram ... I'm.aware of that..thank u for that tho
It isn't installed incorrectly. You don't know how parts work, and that's OK.
These holes don't line up spent 4 hours
which ones
@MIKEYZVLOGZ I figured it out only problem is the fan clips doesn't fit. One side pops out. After I I managed to put on and take it off.
@wortonissk5302 ok so your just slightly doing something off... breathe take your time and try again..everything fits a certain way ..don't push on the fan clamps pull it over the fins... I've done this before where I push it on hoping it will clip on..but ur suppose to pull the clamps over the fins... and then they clamp on
@@MIKEYZVLOGZ I figured it out lol
Fans are supposed to throw air out of the back. Wrong installation.
@@janwar7 it's still pushing air out the rear. of the case i only moved the fan to the left side to be able to see the ram... however i do mention this in the pinned comment
he put the cooling fans the wrong way lolz
there was a reason for it, but cheers for the comment
😅wrong fan install😅
ye I know.. I only did it this way for ram clearance.. but yes ur suppose to install the left on the right side with the fan bracket to the cooling fins...
Intel disrespect
jesus christ , so much paste....
I just put a decent sized drop in the middle, like a pea...but a big one.
@iitzfizz ye that's OK as long as it's enough although if u use intel the surface area is rectangle so in theory u should use either a line down centre or 2 drops
Why anyone uses any other thermal paste other than Kingpin KPx or Thermal Grizzley, ill never know. It has to be sheer ignorance.
lol true I used thermal grizzly with this, though to be fair toothpaste aint far off from thermal grizzly
looking at the thermal paste chart it's only about a 3 to 5 degrees diff in typical thermal paste and grizzly ... lol.. r u for real toothpaste isn't far from it? where did u see that? yeester? I'm about to try the thermalnpads by Honeywell and I'll see how it goes .. nit as messy and simple cut to size and place on
Never use this type of cooler always use one that pushes down on four mounting points it makes waaaay better contact trust me …
so u dont think this is a good cooler ?
I really dislike the size of today's CPU coolers. Why do they have to be such monsters? Such CPU coolers are larger than any other component. That is a failure of technology. These things should not be that big.
@dpenetration25 actually the size is what makes it perform so well...this is a cheap cooler that is capable of cooling a 7800x3d keeping it below 70 degrees Celsius...and that's really good ..this maybe the only cooler you'll ever need
@@MIKEYZVLOGZ Until they invent better heat absorbing components. The whole idea of having fans and radiators I think soon will be a thing of the past. You know, like cooling pads for swellings. You don't use rotating fans for that.
@@dpenetration25 yes this si true , kind of like watercooling , however still need fans to cool the radiator inorder to cool the water , hopefully in the near future it will be alot smaller but personally i feel size isn't too big a deal as long as it looks good
