Was just looking at these myself, my CPU on the stock cooler is dying in this 95-105F weather and saw the ARGB SE is only $34.90, was looking to see what the difference between the SE and regular reviewed by Gamer's Nexus was and I bump into someone from the OWL streams with the top comment. It's a small internet sometimes. I'm debating with myself going with the Thermalright Peerless Assassin SE ARGB for just 34.90 (man, that's a value) or a Thermalright Frozen Notte 240 AIO for $53, never tried an AIO and hesitant dealing with the eventual pump dying but they do look pretty cool and work really well --while they last. Gonna have to measure I guess and see if I've got the space in the case for the air cooler. Anywho, take care and cool running into you at random. Peace.
I was also going for the 240 aio but don't really want it dying on me unexpectedly or having leaks. Cheap aios aren't that reliable. I just came from gamer nexus review and now this video. I couldn't be happier about my decision to get the air cooler (P.A ARGB SE versión). Only paid $31 on Amazon btw. Can't believe is that good for.the price.
Thankyou for saying what needed to be said and not a word more. It was so fast and concise I had to leave everything I was doing and hyperfocus. Good research and great way to present all the info.
Comprehensive, concise and packed with easily-digestible information. Great video. My only suggestion is that you put keywords or key phrases from the review on-screen, that appear when you say them and stay as long as necessary - it'd help hammer your points home even better.
So the SE is slightly cooler at low fan speeds while the spl levels are the same, and when the temperatures equalize and as we go towards more demanding loads, the temperatures are the same while the original is slightly quieter. To me being slightly quieter at load is more important than being slightly cooler at a lower fan speed: imo the original can just increase fan speed a bit to make up the difference in temp, and it will still be a low fan speed thus still be quiet. The real chips are down when things are running hot, and since the OG cools just as well but does it slightly quieter at those loads, that makes more sense to me.
Brooo i've been doing some research today and have encountered 3 of your videos and literally every one is extremely straight forward and quick to the point, good shit
Finally!!!! a freaking amazing channel, no tons of BS chitchat! straight to what is important to review! thank you!!! i hope you earn thousands of suscribers
Thank you for the video. I've been searching for a simple explanation on the difference between these 2 and this is the only video I've found covering it. Basically the SE has black caps on the stacks and costs a little less but they perform about the same.
I bought the se on accident so i returned it for the extra 6$ for the cleaner looking base model. And the temp difference will make little to no difference on my upcoming 7600x build (almost got the non x variant, but the price difference was less about 7 dollars. Thank you for the information, good to know it makes no difference
Did you not notice any impact from the rubber corners missing on the SE? A few other commenters complained that the PA120 "vibrates a lot less" (than the PA120 SE) because of those.
No, my work station is right next to the test benches and I never have noticed a rattle with any of the fans with or without the rubber corners. The PA120 vs SE was no different.
Thank you for your feedback! It does have ram clearance issues and will overhang ram slots. Any ram slots that have any bulk on top will force the fan up a bit, but not by much.
Wayyyyyyy too short and to the point video! I need more fluff, sponsorspots, rambling and asking for subscribe and likes. Hope this guy improves in the future
I plan to tests these unique scenarios out eventually!, but I'll have to enhance my data infrastructure to properly capture and model this data, so it may take a while
I am thinking about saving some money and get any of these for my R5 3600X, I wanna lower my temps since i am getting on Idle spikes of 52 degrees, (I have CPB enabled running at 4.2Ghz). Would it be worth it?
Are ram clearance space identical with these coolers? Im thinking about gettint g.skill rams with height of 44mm and only info i found is that SE clearance seems to be 42mm, i could always go pull pull but id rather have more space between back fan and cooler fan with push push config
@@pc_analytics Yea, the the 44mm ram i was thinking was g.skill trident z neo, but then again i found out that g.skill has pretty decent option for that like 40 bucks cheaper; flare x5 with cl32 as trident has cl30, i think flare pulls ahead in value.
120SE better with a small radiator am I right? 120 is look better quality I dont know I bought 120 SE with watching 120 performance video I didnt notice its 120SE.
Are you only normalizing by fan speed% thats reported or actual rpm? because RPM for rated fans is allowed to deviate by +/- 10% , which could account for any DBA discrepancies you're seeing when comparing the coolers.
Everything is based on RPM numbers, so a 1000 +/- 10% fan percent's are based off of 1000, so a 777 RPM is treated as 77.7%. I never go off of input % speed. I.e. if I tell my motherboard 80% on the fan noted in the example above and the computer reports a RPM of 721, I treat that as 72.1% for both noise and temp tests.
@@arthur78 I watched the bit you mentioned. Ultimately what she shared is against common knowledge regarding sound. This link can better explain the dynamics of dba than me: modularwalls.com.au/wp-content/uploads/Human-perception-of-sound_April2016-WEB.pdf I’m short yes the 2dba is louder, but a human would have a hard time making the distinction she’s making if they weren’t looking at the dba meter. But she may have super human hearing 🙃
Why is mine going 75c while playing with default fan speed but when i change the speed using remu fan control its decent but sometimes it get noisy and theres a burning smell coming from it kinda even tho im cheking the temps and its stable 60-63c on full load. Sorry for my bad english
There are too many unknowns for me to assist effectively. Your fan curve determines the noise level and the cooling ability of the cooler. With that the remu fan control is changing the fan curve. It may need additional changes to get it to where it's ideal for you. Regarding the burning smell, check all the power ports. Based on the information given, I don't believe it has something to do with the CPU.
It's important to note that the heatload and performance from 125W load on an AMD CPU is very different than a 125W load on an intel CPU. For example a 125W load on an AMD 5800x may be comparable to over 200W on an Intel CPU. For this reason the Watts shouldn't be explicitly considered, but the take away of the video should be the relative differences in performance between the CPU coolers under various loads.
I have a PA120 Black (non-SE) running Corsair ML120 Pro (2400 rpm max) fans. My MB (Z590 Aorus Master) has independent fan headers for each fan. The CPU is an Intel i7-11700K. The inner fan is set to 0% at CPU core temps of 50°C or below. It runs 50% at 51°C, 69% at 69°C, 90% at 70°C, and 100% at 80°C. The outer fan is set to 30% at 30°C and below, 40% at 40°C, then a generally flat curve up to 100% at 75°C. This setup holds idle temp in the low 30s with one fan running at around 900 rpm when ambient temp is 22°C. The i7-11700K holds 192W at 68°C with no throttling running Prime95 with AVX option turned off via the p95 settings. The fans are running in the 75-80% range (1800-1900 rpm) and never hit anywhere near 100% with this test running for 10+ minutes. If the AVX options, including AVX-512, are enabled in the p95 settings: With CPU Temp limit set to 80°C in BIOS, it holds 225W indefinitely with throttling from 4.9GHz down to 4.6-4.7GHz. Fans go all the way to 100%. With CPU Temp limit set to 85°C it holds 235W indefinitely with only the mildest of throttling, from 4.9GHz down to 4.7-4.8GHz. Fans go all the way to 100%.
@@prodlowd Unfortunately I don't have data on the 5800x3D so I can't provide definitive guidance. With that in mind, here are my thoughts are on the PA120 on the 3800x3D: • There are only a few coolers that would do slightly better than the PA120 (NH-D15/AK620) With that, if you're looking for more cooling performance gains you will have to think about AIOs. • the 3800x3D runs hotter than the 3800x, so I would expect higher temperatures for a given power input (i.e. it will run hotter than what I'm showing under similar conditions) • The conditions I'm running these CPU are under stressed conditions that are harsher than gaming. That means if you're just looking to play games, your temps will be lower than what I'm showing. This may not hold true if you're doing data processing/Machine Learning that uses the CPU non-stop. With the above in mind, I would expect that the PA120 should be sufficient for keeping the 3800X3D cool.
@@aboodqadi7041 yes using it for 5 months now fits slightly above but my pc never overheats its always 40/60 degree range so insanely good and this comes from a rust player

This just shows that the Peerless Assassin and the SE version's performance are just almost the same.
Yeah, the testing only goes up to 125W. No one know how they differ if the processor is a 13900k or similar.
It's important to note that the heatload and performance from 125W load on an AMD CPU is very different than a 125W load on an intel CPU. For example a 125W load on an AMD 5800x may be comparable to over 200W on an Intel CPU.

I have a PA120 Black (non-SE) running Corsair ML120 Pro (2400 rpm max) fans. My MB (Z590 Aorus Master) has independent fan headers for each fan.
The CPU is an Intel i7-11700K.
The inner fan is set to 0% at CPU core temps of 50°C or below. It runs 50% at 51°C, 69% at 69°C, 90% at 70°C, and 100% at 80°C.
The outer fan is set to 30% at 30°C and below, 40% at 40°C, then a generally flat curve up to 100% at 75°C.
This setup holds idle temp in the low 30s with one fan running at around 900 rpm when ambient temp is 22°C.
The i7-11700K holds 192W at 68°C with no throttling running Prime95 with AVX option turned off via the p95 settings. The fans are running in the 75-80% range (1800-1900 rpm) and never hit anywhere near 100% with this test running for 10+ minutes.
If the AVX options, including AVX-512, are enabled in the p95 settings:
With CPU Temp limit set to 80°C in BIOS, it holds 225W indefinitely with throttling from 4.9GHz down to 4.6-4.7GHz. Fans go all the way to 100%.
With CPU Temp limit set to 85°C it holds 235W indefinitely with only the mildest of throttling, from 4.9GHz down to 4.7-4.8GHz. Fans go all the way to 100%.
