New: AM4 Version: ruclips.net/video/exmFBnWZOvY/видео.html Important note from @antonnikolov2849 as noted below , be careful of installation as rotating the cpu cooler tower by 180 degrees can give you more clearance to access your GPU. There were some complaints about missed fan Y adapter connections in this video. I have redone it here in 4k60 and even show how to uninstall it: ruclips.net/video/u-vSJgIB0N4/видео.html This motherboard does have some slight damage (lol) from previous owner...got if off ebay for $60 and primarily have been using it for these type installation videos. I have to say, I really like this CPU Cooler for $35! It has pretty good cooling as you would expect from a large cpu cooler. I eventually will have some links down below for temps in FortNite and running various benchmarks. This will also be featured in a comparison video of under $50 cpu coolers from DeepCool, Vetroo, Thermaltake, ID Cooling...etc. I will also throw in a couple of stock coolers from I7 and I9 as well.
FYI, I have some comparisons that some folks might find helpful. I installed the Thermalright Peerless Assassin 120 SE on my AMD 5900x. With PBO enabled, this CPU puts out a ton of heat (I think it'll boost up to around 250 watts). In Cinebench, it would peak around 81 C. After replacing my system RAM for unrelated reasons, the RAM was taller, which forced the first intake fan to sit at a slight offset relative to the tower - maybe 20 mm. That fan/tower misalignment was enough to increase temperatures by about 8 degrees C in Cinebench. I ended up removing the air cooler, and going with a high-end Corsair 360 AIO (Corsair iCUE H150i Elite CAPELLIX XT). It's a beast of a cooler, but it only managed about 2 degrees cooler than this air cooler! The big advantage of the AIO wasn't temps, but noise - the AIO is much quieter than this air cooler. This air cooler has only really four downsides: * It makes getting at some system components a pain, and sometimes requires you to remove the tower first (system RAM, some NVME drives) * It won't give you much RAM clearance, so if you have fancy RGB RAM, you should probably look elsewhere. Check the stats first. * It is noisy when it really gets going, so if you're sensitive to fan noise, you'd be better served by an AIO. You don't have to spend like I did - you can pick up an Arctic Liquid Freezer II for around $150. * It requires a good bit of space in the case so that the front of the case can close - most newer cases won't have a problem, but some smaller & older cases will. Check the stats on your case for details.
Just installed this today - swapped it in to replace the stock i5-12400F cooler. Max CPU temp dropped from a whopping 94C to a very nice 65C. Amazing cooler for the price and in general, is highly recommended. Thanks for the great tutorial! Made installation a breeze. 😁
@@ImKarks Not really, the stock cooler is really just bad when its at max load, the 12400f doesn't even draw that much power either, the Peerless Assassin is actually way overkill for it, a single fan tower cooler would suffice, but its very good value.
Sorry about that. each CPU cooler usually ends up in more than 1 installation video on here, so I will have to be more careful in filming next time. Thanks for the feedback.
@@PC_HardwareTechUnboxing_1 instal went as per your video, but once all setup in system the motherboard is completely dead and wont supply any power to anything have checked psu and all good so assume the Motherboard is dead.
Did you have any issues mounting the motherboard into the chassis with that cooler installed? It looks big enough that it would block some of the mounting points on the motherboard. Im building a system with this cooler the weekend.
@@PC_HardwareTechUnboxing_1 good to know. Thanks for the responce. And thanks for making this video. Ive wasted to much time and literal sweat and blood fighting with cpu cooling mounting mechanisms because I misunderstood how something worked! Im slightly bothered by only 2 screws that attatch the cooler to the mounting bracket. It seems like 4 corner screws would provide better contact. But, as long as it gets the job done!
I'm super confused. You dropped spacers on top of the screws and didn't screw anything in. How did the backplate not just fall right off when you picked it up? Aren't you screwing into spacers that are floating on the motherboard? Unless the screw you put into the bracket goes all the way down and makes contact with the back plate.
Can that outside fan over the RAM be placed on the opposite side? Or is that not recommended because it will cause some type of problem? I have RGB RAM and don't want to cover them with the fan thx
I sometimes do that the opposite in a test bench setup so the fans are not blowing on me...difference is, it is not in a case. In your case, you also want to pull air across the cooler and not push it. The latter should be better, but I have never actually tested it myself. If you put this on a CPU with 65W TDP, than this cooler is overkill anyways and that configuration won't reallly matter as far as overheating goes. Lots of other factors might cause issues related to case size, number of fans...size of GPU...etc. If it was me...I would say tested it out both ways and see what the delta is between them. Good luck!
@PC_HardwareTechUnboxing_1 thanks yes it'll be in a large Enthoo Pro case with 7 fans (140mm and 200mm), so I'll give it a go with the confidence things will be cool enough inside.
Hey guys, Got a question. His fans are set up from the left Radiator-fan-radiator-fan And mine is Fan-radiator-Fan-radiator. His fan sits on top of his ram, my fan sits on top of the mobo brick, and we both have the one in the middle. Same airflow direction. Do you recommend moving them? I've had no problems with cooling a 7800x3d but i'm afraid i'm leaving cooling potential on the table at intensive cpu tasls with my setup as the right side of the radiator maybe doesn't get cooled enough? LMK
Have you thought of adding a 3rd fan on the other side? Since I heard that works and I just ordered mine with a 3rd fan. Guess that one is exhaust fan than.
Any issues between this cooler and the Thermalright "LGA1700 Intel Anti-Bending Fastener, Bending Type Pressure Plate"? (It's a plate that also lowers temps while preventing the cpu from bending.)
I got it heavily discounted off RUclips, so not sure the history. I really just bought it to do Bios update vids, Bios overview...and then I said, why be ashamed of this board...show it off...so there it is..hidious looking.
Sorry to bother but you should turn radiators by 180 degree. Fans are ok, just your radiator is backwards. Detach fans, turn radiator and attach fans again. When you do so, you will have more than 10mm more offset from your gpu. Check 7.40min at ruclips.net/video/1YFR20MmvpM/видео.html It is ok in your second video about PE 120 SE:)
Great tip! Interesting, I have installed this like 10 times on here and never noticed that it is not symmetrical. I will have to go back and check out how the others turned out. This actually wasn't the best install video that I have done...the 4k version is better, but misses this detail. I will have to keep an eye out for that. It is currently not installed on anything. In this video, it really didn't matter as the primary GPU slot was destroyed by previous owner.
does the orientation of the radiator matter? e.g. the "thermalright" text for you is facing towards the left hand side of the motherboard whilst mine is facing the right
Both are ok, but it is better to have the cooler fans inline (rather than offset) from the case fan behind it. For me, this meant the longer side of the cooler was on top, just like yours.
Pcpartspicker is telling me I might need a separately purchased adapter for i5 13600k, ASRock z790 and Thermalright Peerless Assassin. Did you find this to be the case?
@@PC_HardwareTechUnboxing_1 Thanks a lot, watched and re watched but couldn't tell if it came with or was your own. regardless thank you for the help and quick response.
if my computer is already assembled (and has an AIO which will be replaced by this...), do I have to remove the motherboard to be able to do the step where you put the "backing plate" at the beginning?
You would have to take off the LH access panel to see if there is a big enough access hole on the metal that sits beneath the motherboard. Its a rectangular opening and if it is big enough you can pull the plate out. If it is not, you would have to remove the motherboard to do it.
My motherboard's 3.0 PCI x16 is fried and I'm stuck with a defective motherboard. I have this same cooler and an AM4 5800X3D. Am I able to install the bracket and the CPU along with the cooler then sliding it down into the case or do I need to mount the bracket on the back of the case and install the cooler while its already dropped down into the case because that's so difficult for me =(
Yes, sorry got more than a few complaints about this. I believe I assumed this was caught on camera. Basically, in the box is a Y connector that allows the two 4 pin fans to go into one 4 pin cpu fan connector on the motherboard. It might be time for me to completely redo this video or at least film that part over again and provide a link to it.
@@PC_HardwareTechUnboxing_1 Thank you so much for replying, it's clear to me now. Can you do a video with B760 and 13500 with this same cooler if possible at all. Much love to you for help my guy!
*sigh* Love how they give mounting brackets for 2 types of intel cpu's but NOTHING for AMD (Just reuse your original backplate) which of course is somewhere. Pretty cheap not include another plastic bracket.
Can you help me: I build my pc then, I put all RGB fan from the case all connected to the control rgb. I can put the rgb cooler all connected together with the others fans??? Or not? Thanks
I am currently building my first rgb system with the argb version of this cpu cooler (built quite a few other non rgb builds), so I am no expert at all on this. From the cooler instructions: "For fans with argb lighting, to control the argb lighting connect lighting header (3 pin, +5V) to motherboard argb lighting socket or argb lighting controller, lighting effects can be sync by connecting fan lighting headers with eachother." Each of the two cpu fans has a daisy chain connector, so you can daisy chain the rgb controls together. In this particular case I have one of the fans daisy chained into the other and the other fan's argb connector connected to the argb header on the mobo. From what I have read you can daisy chain multiples together for controlling the rgb effects. If your controller is able to support argb fans at that 5V and using those same 3 pins (looks like a 4 pin connector with one of the middle pins blank) , I think you should be fine. Good luck.
I want to buy this but I'm not sure if it actually comes with the stuff needed for LGA 1200 I have bought some before different brand and it said it did but on getting it it didn't does anyone know for sure ?
Hi I got the argb version, do you know how I can change the rbg colours? I can't find any software that allows me to control the colours. My mobo is MSI MPG X570 GAMING PRO CARBON WIFI Gaming Motherboard AMD AM4 SATA 6Gb/s M.2 USB 3.2 Gen 2 Wi-Fi 6 HDMI ATX. Thanks!!!
You need mystic light. To get it, it appears you have to first download MSI Center under Utilities www.msi.com/Motherboard/MPG-X570-GAMING-PRO-CARBON-WIFI/support#utility Downloadn and install it, than eventually it will ask you if you want to add mystic light.There is how to video on that page, so perhaps watch that as well.
You would have to remove the CPU fan that sits over top of the RAM. Unless you, have really tall RAM, slot A1 should still be accessible. Though in a case rather difficult.
Yes. I haven't done it with Lb1151, but if you have the mounting bracket exposed like normal now from the other side then it is really easy to do. I've done in place fan replacements like this before. The only tricky thing is that you usually need a second person to hold in the new bracket from the backside when you try to screw in the front screws since you are putting some pressure on the back plate while trying to screw it in. Don't think you can do it alone.
I just installed this cooler with G.SKILL Trident Z5 Series 32GB C36 which is pretty tall 42mm. The fan sits above a bit, but no problem really, a small gap. You can see his aren't flush with the black top part of the cooler either, especially on the ram side. I would say that my fan on the memory side is riding about 15mm high compared to the black base of the cooler, and about 7mm higher than those metal spikes on the cooler. When I placed the fans on the opposite side on the back planes heat sink instead of over the memory it looked to be about the same height as if I had put it over the ram (you wouldn't really want to do that anyway since you would be blowing towards the front of the case). Anyway, I think this should work fine with taller ram, it's just that the fan will sit a bit higher. You will want to make sure your case has enough clearance for that extra 7mm or so beyond the stated cooler dimensions.

Can you help me: I build my pc then, I put all RGB fan from the case all connected to the control rgb. I can put the rgb cooler all connected together with the others fans??? Or not? Thanks
I am currently building my first rgb system with the argb version of this cpu cooler (built quite a few other non rgb builds), so I am no expert at all on this.
From the cooler instructions: "For fans with argb lighting, to control the argb lighting connect lighting header (3 pin, +5V) to motherboard argb lighting socket or argb lighting controller, lighting effects can be sync by connecting fan lighting headers with eachother."
Each of the two cpu fans has a daisy chain connector, so you can daisy chain the rgb controls together. In this particular case I have one of the fans daisy chained into the other and the other fan's argb connector connected to the argb header on the mobo.
From what I have read you can daisy chain multiples together for controlling the rgb effects. If your controller is able to support argb fans at that 5V and using those same 3 pins (looks like a 4 pin connector with one of the middle pins blank) , I think you should be fine.
Good luck.
Will it fit with an additional set of ram in there too? It looks like there's barely enough space but I can't fully tell.
i have this cooler, it is indeed have very low ram clearance. i dont think any argb ram would fit in it
@@sexybrunchset8881 I installed the cooler a little bit ago, tbh ran clearance was just fine due to the fact that you can adjust the height of the fan
@@crimsoncoconut6463 i see. Does the fin in your cooler also bend or deformed when the fan clip is installed? It's kinda bothering me
@@sexybrunchset8881 Wdym by the fin?
@@crimsoncoconut6463 the heatsink fin. the metal scaly thing
Is the same for the i5-12600k?
test temp?
I want to buy this but I'm not sure if it actually comes with the stuff needed for LGA 1200 I have bought some before different brand and it said it did but on getting it it didn't does anyone know for sure ?
Hi I got the argb version, do you know how I can change the rbg colours? I can't find any software that allows me to control the colours. My mobo is MSI MPG X570 GAMING PRO CARBON WIFI Gaming Motherboard AMD AM4 SATA 6Gb/s M.2 USB 3.2 Gen 2 Wi-Fi 6 HDMI ATX. Thanks!!!
You need mystic light. To get it, it appears you have to first download MSI Center under Utilities www.msi.com/Motherboard/MPG-X570-GAMING-PRO-CARBON-WIFI/support#utility Downloadn and install it, than eventually it will ask you if you want to add mystic light.There is how to video on that page, so perhaps watch that as well.
usb stick still on the mobo while making this vid 🤣
USB wifi...just prepping for the moment windows comes up. Or too lazy to take it out.
way is yr psi slot brokeingm to hell sir what did u do i hjave the same mother bored for amd b550
Can you add and remove ram from all 4 ram slots while the cooler/fans are installed?
You would have to remove the CPU fan that sits over top of the RAM. Unless you, have really tall RAM, slot A1 should still be accessible. Though in a case rather difficult.
How is the fans quality?
What is your ram hight?
Lg1151... it s possible to mount this one without unmount MB if there s some space in other case side( window)? Thk
Yes. I haven't done it with Lb1151, but if you have the mounting bracket exposed like normal now from the other side then it is really easy to do. I've done in place fan replacements like this before. The only tricky thing is that you usually need a second person to hold in the new bracket from the backside when you try to screw in the front screws since you are putting some pressure on the back plate while trying to screw it in. Don't think you can do it alone.

Hello.
CPU:AMD ryzen 5 3500 (Am4)
Motherboard: Gigabayte B450 Gaming X
RAM: GSKILL RIPJAWS V (32 GB)
"THERMALRIGHT Peerless Assassin 120 SE ARGB" compatible for me :)
What happened to that pci-e slot lol?
I bought it damaged...$60 on ebay. No idea..perhaps a 3090 fell over inside of somehow. Luckily, the others work just fine.
How tall is the ram in there?
I second this, I have this mobo and I'm wondering if there is enough clearance for corsair lpx ram
I just installed this cooler with G.SKILL Trident Z5 Series 32GB C36 which is pretty tall 42mm. The fan sits above a bit, but no problem really, a small gap. You can see his aren't flush with the black top part of the cooler either, especially on the ram side. I would say that my fan on the memory side is riding about 15mm high compared to the black base of the cooler, and about 7mm higher than those metal spikes on the cooler. When I placed the fans on the opposite side on the back planes heat sink instead of over the memory it looked to be about the same height as if I had put it over the ram (you wouldn't really want to do that anyway since you would be blowing towards the front of the case). Anyway, I think this should work fine with taller ram, it's just that the fan will sit a bit higher. You will want to make sure your case has enough clearance for that extra 7mm or so beyond the stated cooler dimensions.
all ram banks gone :(
I only came here for the cable connections......;(

@@PC_HardwareTechUnboxing_1 yeah I am actually using that video right now, I found it after making that comment, thank you for making a better video
wish i wouldve known it covered my ram 😒😟
what did u do
@@anonymous9428 nothing, just had nice looking ram, but its covered now lol
