Not sure if Dawid was using Amazon US or Canada, but in Canada the last time I checked you couldn't even buy that ancient turd of a CPU cooler. Also, the cooler Dawid bought is actually about the same price as the Amazon junk cooler and much better. Funny enough, the ARGB version of the Peerless Assassin 120 SE is cheaper on Amazon Canada right now than the non-RGB version, but isn't "Amazon's Choice".
Ironically enough, the Peerless Assassin is actually one of the best air coolers in this price range. Gamers Nexus put it through its paces with their test and it came pretty close to matching the Noctua NH-D15 in terms of cooling performance. I think it might be due to you not having used the second fan as well as using the stock CPU fan curves that caused the excess noise in the system.
Yeah, I watched the video by Gamers Nexus so I thought the same thing. Until I bought it. I have it paired with a 5800x so I'm willing to give it the benefit of the doubt when it comes to mediocre thermal performance, but the fans really ain't great. Max fan speed I'm running them at is about 50%. After that, they start to get real noisy and produce a high pitched whistling kind of sound when they're at 70%. Good thing about it has a lot of thermal mass so it gets away with low fan RPM most of the time, and for the price it's still an absolute steal.

It's definitely strange but I think you're right. My CPU usage is lower or almost the same since changing my 1660 out for a 5700 XT despite the latter being a lot faster.
Did you miss the word "Crap" in the title of the video? This is not a guide. This is not supposed to be rational. This is not recommended. Take your suggestions somewhere else. This is for maximum dumb.
This was RTX 3000 era, and HUB found that Nvidia uses a software scheduler that increases load on the CPU, ie, 10-15% more load on a weak CPU kills frames because it's closer to it's max at all times. They showed a RTX 3090 slower than an average Radeon GPU, but only on weaker CPUs, ie, it didn't affect high end CPUs.
Avoid Crucial if you're in Canada. If anything goes wrong, they'll ship you a replacement and you WILL get charged brokerage and duty. My SSD died and decided just to toss it as the fees would cost more than buying another (not Crucial) drive.
I used some SYY thermal paste on my laptop about 2 years ago. Still going really well in terms of thermals. My only advice is that it's a bit thicker/denser than I'm used to so spreading is a bit difficult. I'd advise spreading it manually with the included tool on something like a laptop rather than just sending the screws home and sending it - it feels like it'd bend the board before spreading nicely
been using SSY 157 thermal paste for about a year now found it to be as good as anything branded plus its always in stock on amazon and I've been getting 8 grams for about 8 quid uk

I used to have the same cpu cooler. Turns out, placing the fans as pull instead of push makes the cooler overall louder with a high-pitched noice. And putting both of them, managed to stay very quiet even with a 5800x with temps below 65° in a full load while gaming.
Same. Just updated mine with 550W after about 4 years. Previous one was working great just needed cleaning and I put it in another case for a lower end build.
And for the price of an new RTX 3060, you get RX 6650 that beats it and even RX 6750 that I don't have to mention the difference in performance and also 12 GB VRAM...
ngl that cpu cooler is actually pretty good if you can fit it in your build, the only downside is the fan noise on the lower tier cooler, but you can easily swap them out for more silent fans
If you can pick up the Thermalright on sale, which has been happening a lot lately, and have the fans lying around, then it's a great deal. But once you start buying fans, it's putting you close to the price of other coolers. Right now, on Amazon, the black edition of the 120SE is $37usd. If you pair it with a couple of Arctic P series fans, there's another $20. At $57, would I spend the extra $8 and get a Deepcool AK620? Probably. But I'm not everybody. Personally, I got the Peerless Assassin on sale for $32, and bought a 5 pack of the Arctic P series fans. 2 fans replaced the cooler fans, and the other 3 replaced case fans. That setup has worked great for me.
@@tsuzot8192 The Thermalright is a better cooler than the AK620, the more expensive version of it comes with fans with rubber corners, I guess it makes it sound a bit better. Otherwise it's one of the best air coolers atm and only costs like 40USD. It's a steal.
@@MrJonas7 As GamersNexus said, the Thermalright is "within error and indistinguishable of the $65 Deepcool AK620." Also, I was addressing the guy that said replace the fans, which adds costs to the cooler.
I was surprised you had issues with the airgoo RGB strips. I’ve used them in at least a half a dozen systems with no problems. The thermalright cooler is a really solid performer but as you pointed out there’s issues with RAM clearance. Love your videos 👍👍
@Floyd Looney I do it at the end of the year. You'd be surprised at how often I've just repasted a cpu to fix crashes. Girlfriend had a gpu for a year and checked it out, and the paste and pads were dried out and useless.
same here XD but i got some car parts i need to buy but i wanna go back to an air cooler because i got a 280mm aio with a 5800x and its not cooling as good as id like since i used to be able to hit 5Ghz with it
What do you mean the fans on the Thermalright peerless assassin aren't good? I have the RGB version Wich should perform worse and it keeps a 5700x below 50°C whilst being nearly inaudible, Shure it's not a Silent wing 4 but still really quiet. And my ears are very good, I hear the screeching of Electric cars. Perhaps you got one with a broken fan.
Perfect addition in the morning to start my day off, viewing with my coffee, really enjoy your amusing, but honest video's, thanks for starting my day off properly!
You are correct...swap the GPU with the 6600 and use that money saved to put in a 5600X. That system would be well optimized. The Crucial SSD is a great budget option and I have the P2 version in my media server. Honestly anything that can read/write over 1.5K MB/s is fine. Standard Windows stuff and gaming is totally fine with PCIE Gen 3.
The fan on the cooler likely sounds awful due to how it's mounted. They're designed to be in a "push" configuration, with the exhasut side of each fan directly touching the fin stacks and an air gap on the intake side, but you have it clipped to the back of the first fin stack in a "pull" configuration, which will lead to turbulence since the blades are spinning right up against the fin stack with no air gap.
I'm surprised how good, it looks when RGB lights thru the CPU cooler, or how reflective it is. I bought RX 6600 last year, and I was about to buy RTX 3050 instead, but I love messing around with linux, so I went full AMD, and not regret my decision.
Same here, upgraded my Zorin 16 box with a new 6750 XT over an old 2070 Super. Not a huge increase in performance (about 20%) but I'm sick of dealing with Nvidia on Linux and the lack of full Wayland support.
If you take away the fan prices then still Noctua cost more. True. It is still hard to say really, I mean sure getting the tower and adding better fans to it? Yea it might be a good deal. But a Noctua NH-U12S Redux go for $50... With fans. And then we got BeQuite or really all kinds of options, even used!! I rather get a brand name cooler since even Noctua the kings of air premium got options worth the extra $10. If AMD stock coolers where just a tiny bit better at keeping the CPU's from dying a early death? I mean it is so close for the stock cooler to handle a 5600G without fan noise and worries about the chips dying earlier then it has to.
@@TheDiner50 The fans on it are okay, why would you have to change it? It's on par with the best air coolers with its stock configuration and the fans are actually pretty quiet according to any scientific benchmarks I've seen (GN, Hardware Canucks)
Noctua is still the way to go if you want no compromises with air cooling. Nothing wrong with going cheaper if you're not going to use the coolers full potential. You can also buy a 120mm or 140mm AIO for $30 to $40 to save space with AMD's G-series CPUs. If you seriously can't afford $100 for an air cooler you seriously don't need to be dealing with computers either.
"it'll flair up like a hemorrhoid on taco night" BRUH 🤣your side-handed jokes are too much! Love it! I used that thermal paste when I first built my system because of the reviews and price difference. It's one of the best performing, economy choices out there. It even outperforms Arctic MX-4 and Corsair TM30.
While I am down with hating things by principle, I think the 3060 performance issue is down to driver overhead, rather than the specific model. Hardware Unboxed did a great investigative piece on it. Or did you get the 8 gig version of the thitty sixty?
Between Dawid and PCBuilder I'm working on my 3rd build in the past year. One for myself, one for my daughter, and now one for my nephew. I need to stop watching these guys. I'm going broke!
Some listings with 'amazon choice' in the thumbnail aren't actually amazon choice at all. Dubious sellers just put the amazon choice logo in the corner of their product picture to make you think amazon recommends it. The world is a lie!
Is it a law that a 'gaming' PC has to light up like a bad acid trip? I love your videos. They usually come sprinkled with double entendres like a end-of-the-pier- comedy show.
Thermalright peerless assassin is probably one of the best air coolers on the market for the price point. That being said throwing some Noctua fans on it would be beneficial.
i laughed so hard at light up like a Hemorrhoid on taco night ! love your channel man its like watching a decent comedy show while building PCs hahaha just kidding it would be a stellar comedy show . Dawid gots jokes for sure
@@Gatorade69 yes, and that was such a disappointment :D We were all expecting these parts to be really bad one way or another. Dawid got lucky this time :)
Dawid, how the heck do you always have such low GPU temps?? I have a 3070 OC Vision. 3 fans at the front, not open front panel but at least a small vent slat on both sides, plus 2 exhaust fans. With an ambient temperature of 16/18 Celsius, my GPU is running at 75 degrees Celsius under full load. How do you always get in the 60’s, seemingly regardless of the case or card?
@@OG_Ruurd I have read as much. That said, I don’t ever see Dawid getting those kind of temperatures. Which is why I’m asking about it. I don’t understand how he manages to keep temps so low. I’m pretty sure he’s run a 3080 before and kept it under 70c.
@@mageeshyt4495 NO THIS GUY IS LEGIT and this is the right place, he already compared GeForce 210 vs gt 710 search his channel, i know he'd do something more of it
I have two ThermalRight Peerless Assasin coolers that work amazingly well. One of them is having absolutely no problems keeping a 5950x cool, barely hitting 70C under full load in a 20C room. The other is on a 5600G that never goes above 55C under full load. Don't know why yours is doing so poorly on that wimpy cpu.
I unironically used nothing but MF120's and MF140's in my build, along with a PL360Flux from Cooler Master as well. I went with a Corsair RM750x to cut down on noise so my computer isn't a spaceship. They're not bad fans at all! The ARGB LED's are very vibrant.
I got same sleeved cables, mine weren't sticky, I feel cheated! Also they were so stiff I had to hang them on a radiator in order to make them flexible enough for installation. Easily the most entertaining RUclips channel ever
When I`m looking to buy something on amazon, and I`m not looking for a vary specific brand or product, or when I don`t specificly want the absolute cheapest of whatever thing I`m looking for, I tend to just go for the amazons choice option, and honestly Jeff hasn`t ever steered me wrong this far... It`s no shock than, that his picks were mostly solid
I have those case fans. I found them pretty good. The ARBG is very nice. OMG, I almost stopped breathing from tears of laughter when you said “Brighter than a hemroid on a taco night.” 😂😂😂😂
11:02 I had dubious honor of having RTX 3070 Ventus 2X version... it was during the GPU shortages so it was my only choice, and I definitely DON'T recommend it. One of the fans on it started rattling loudly and annoyingly at certain speeds after less than 2 years od use... actually had to sell off the piece of crap, and get a Gainward Phoenix RTX 3070 version, no problems since then.
If this was a build I was working on, I'd take the extra / unused CPU cooler fan and mount it up top as intake to feed the cooler with fresh ambient air. Especially because the front fans are blocked off. And before anyone comments, yes, top intake is fine.
I have used literally dozens of Thermaltake smart 500 watt psu's in builds over several years, never ever had an issue.. they may not be the best but they ALWAYS get the job done..
also, why are modern chassis today TWIZE the thickness of a normal case in the 2016 area? -I would rather have a tall like a mxi tower than a short thick one

A noctua two tower model with one fan in the middle is more silent than the two fan model.

It is still hard to say really, I mean sure getting the tower and adding better fans to it? Yea it might be a good deal. But a Noctua NH-U12S Redux go for $50... With fans. And then we got BeQuite or really all kinds of options, even used!! I rather get a brand name cooler since even Noctua the kings of air premium got options worth the extra $10. If AMD stock coolers where just a tiny bit better at keeping the CPU's from dying a early death? I mean it is so close for the stock cooler to handle a 5600G without fan noise and worries about the chips dying earlier then it has to.
@@TheDiner50 The fans on it are okay, why would you have to change it? It's on par with the best air coolers with its stock configuration and the fans are actually pretty quiet according to any scientific benchmarks I've seen (GN, Hardware Canucks)
@@MrJonas7 They aren't good fans. Fan balancing and motors have always been thermalright's bane and Noctua's strength.
Noctua is still the way to go if you want no compromises with air cooling. Nothing wrong with going cheaper if you're not going to use the coolers full potential. You can also buy a 120mm or 140mm AIO for $30 to $40 to save space with AMD's G-series CPUs. If you seriously can't afford $100 for an air cooler you seriously don't need to be dealing with computers either.
"Lights up like a hemorrhoid on Taco night!" Love your technical descriptions Dawid. Your videos are very entertaining.
“Light up like a hemorrhoid on taco night” is an amazing simile and I will be using it from now on. Thank you Dawid for the amazing content 👍
"it'll flair up like a hemorrhoid on taco night" BRUH 🤣your side-handed jokes are too much! Love it!
I used that thermal paste when I first built my system because of the reviews and price difference. It's one of the best performing, economy choices out there. It even outperforms Arctic MX-4 and Corsair TM30.
4:33 donuts
4:44 "Small dog" is the most PC term I've ever heard for rats. Lol.
While I am down with hating things by principle, I think the 3060 performance issue is down to driver overhead, rather than the specific model. Hardware Unboxed did a great investigative piece on it. Or did you get the 8 gig version of the thitty sixty?
"this thing is going to light up like a hemorrhoid on taco night" 😅😅
I CAN'T STOP BUILDING PCs AND IT'S YOUR FAULT DAWID
Between Dawid and PCBuilder I'm working on my 3rd build in the past year. One for myself, one for my daughter, and now one for my nephew. I need to stop watching these guys. I'm going broke!
I actually use that CPU cooler, HIGHLY RECCOMENDED IT KEEPS MY 5800X BELOW 70 DEGRESS C
Dude you should’ve gotten the amazon basics cpu cooler lol
"light up like a hemarrroid on taco night"....and my entire mouthful of tea is now in and around my keyboard!
Some listings with 'amazon choice' in the thumbnail aren't actually amazon choice at all. Dubious sellers just put the amazon choice logo in the corner of their product picture to make you think amazon recommends it. The world is a lie!
I guess Dawid isn't dumb enough to fall for that
Not surprised at all
That 4:17 "Thanks Jeff" was so 🤌
i laughed like an idiot at the psu part. “something a little less IED…ey” and the white phosphorus thing 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Upgrading a crap pc with Amazon Choice crap. It's like a trainwreck upgrade.
Is it a law that a 'gaming' PC has to light up like a bad acid trip? I love your videos. They usually come sprinkled with double entendres like a end-of-the-pier- comedy show.
Everyone knows that RGB makes your system go faster 🤣
Dawid i dont think you understand how much we appreciate your goofy humour, please don't change!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thermalright peerless assassin is probably one of the best air coolers on the market for the price point. That being said throwing some Noctua fans on it would be beneficial.
I've been binge watching your videos today, and KNEW that an upload was on the way haha, I wasn't wrong xD
Unfortunately for Corsair, my stuffing holes are already free of obstructions, so I will not need to purchase 👍😁
OMG you got with that "its going to light up like a hemorrhoid on taco night" line! I have to remember that one🤣
Once again 1440p would solve the cpu bottleneck much better than overclocking cpu and keeping at 1080p
i laughed so hard at light up like a Hemorrhoid on taco night ! love your channel man its like watching a decent comedy show while building PCs hahaha just kidding it would be a stellar comedy show . Dawid gots jokes for sure
*Me:* i love watching you buy terrible pc crap from Wish and Amazon
*Also me:* WHY U KEEP DOING THIS TO YOURSELF?
I mean none of these items are terrible and Dawid kind of messed up with the CPU cooler.
@@Gatorade69 yes, and that was such a disappointment :D We were all expecting these parts to be really bad one way or another. Dawid got lucky this time :)
That "OOOOOOOOOO!" at the SSD had me almost dying, subscribed!
Dawid, how the heck do you always have such low GPU temps??
I have a 3070 OC Vision. 3 fans at the front, not open front panel but at least a small vent slat on both sides, plus 2 exhaust fans. With an ambient temperature of 16/18 Celsius, my GPU is running at 75 degrees Celsius under full load.
How do you always get in the 60’s, seemingly regardless of the case or card?
Undervolt it
@@motazkasem3289 Should I have to do that? Does Dawid do that?
75 is pretty normal for a 3070 OC
@@OG_Ruurd I have read as much. That said, I don’t ever see Dawid getting those kind of temperatures. Which is why I’m asking about it. I don’t understand how he manages to keep temps so low. I’m pretty sure he’s run a 3080 before and kept it under 70c.
Dawid would take it apart and add thermal paste to the die. These channels seem to do that daily, lol
"This thing is gonna light up like a hemorrhoid on taco night..." I about fell off my chair laughing so hard!!! That was classic!
Bro please compare HD 630 (i3 7100s iGPU) with GeForce 210 1GB DDR3 or GT 710 2GB DDR5 please it would make year please!
as hd 630 is an entry-level integrated graphics option (from 7th gen Intel cpus - e.g. i3 7100, and so on)
Intel Would Win
you're the wrong place mate, try asking some benchmark youtubers...
@@mageeshyt4495 NO THIS GUY IS LEGIT and this is the right place, he already compared GeForce 210 vs gt 710 search his channel, i know he'd do something more of it
Not potato enough. Needs to be more potato.
Don't take this the wrong way, but I'm blown away at the sponsorships you've been getting lately. Keep up the good work Dawid. Always a fun watch!
Tech jesus is not impressed with you for not utilizing that cooler properly😅
Steve is the father, Linus the son. So who got the title of the holy spirit?
"light up like a Hemorrhoid on taco night." i am dead. Dawid is the pinnacle of high brow comedy!
Ironically, the Peerless Assassin is the best Air Cooler you can buy right now (yes, it's superior to the Noctua). So, good job Amazon.
Hah, opinions over facts these days.
I recently bought that Crucial P3 for my stepson's PC - it's a wee cracker and usually on offer somewhere lol.
Can I have a Gpu?
Honestly this is the kind of upgrade that makes me feel like im a kid again just trying to get whatever i could afford to run better
7:17
Average valorant player when they hear a girl talking in voice chat
14:22 I was going to say that I was unimpressed by the LED strips, but even them are like "we're ashamed of ourselves".
Sooo many references to stuffing holes and such 🤣. This the "stuff" I watch you for.
I laughed the entire time. The turns of phrase and the one-liners are top notch. Jesus Christ--subscribed!
haha, got a good chuckle out that thermal paste applying part. People so touchy about how you apply it.
I have two ThermalRight Peerless Assasin coolers that work amazingly well. One of them is having absolutely no problems keeping a 5950x cool, barely hitting 70C under full load in a 20C room. The other is on a 5600G that never goes above 55C under full load. Don't know why yours is doing so poorly on that wimpy cpu.
I unironically used nothing but MF120's and MF140's in my build, along with a PL360Flux from Cooler Master as well. I went with a Corsair RM750x to cut down on noise so my computer isn't a spaceship. They're not bad fans at all! The ARGB LED's are very vibrant.
I got same sleeved cables, mine weren't sticky, I feel cheated! Also they were so stiff I had to hang them on a radiator in order to make them flexible enough for installation. Easily the most entertaining RUclips channel ever
The RGB fans look really nice, ngl. In fact a lot of the Amazon choice stuff is good!
When I`m looking to buy something on amazon, and I`m not looking for a vary specific brand or product, or when I don`t specificly want the absolute cheapest of whatever thing I`m looking for, I tend to just go for the amazons choice option, and honestly Jeff hasn`t ever steered me wrong this far... It`s no shock than, that his picks were mostly solid
" Light up like a hemorrhoid on taco night ". This is why I subscribe.
Very entertaining. I had to watch it twice. Love your content.
Makes me happy that Amazon recommends that air cooler, it's amazing
"light up like a hemorrhoid on taco night" 🤣 our modern day Shakespeare at it again
I have those case fans. I found them pretty good. The ARBG is very nice. OMG, I almost stopped breathing from tears of laughter when you said “Brighter than a hemroid on a taco night.” 😂😂😂😂
11:02 I had dubious honor of having RTX 3070 Ventus 2X version... it was during the GPU shortages so it was my only choice, and I definitely DON'T recommend it. One of the fans on it started rattling loudly and annoyingly at certain speeds after less than 2 years od use... actually had to sell off the piece of crap, and get a Gainward Phoenix RTX 3070 version, no problems since then.
I can't even lie...that turned out looking pretty dang good!
The fan cable routing is through the front fascia because that case probably came in a couple of iterations with different front panels.
this channel never fails to deliver
Loved the lightshow!
"This is gonna light up like a hemorrhoid on taco night" - best thing I've heard al week :))
If this was a build I was working on, I'd take the extra / unused CPU cooler fan and mount it up top as intake to feed the cooler with fresh ambient air. Especially because the front fans are blocked off. And before anyone comments, yes, top intake is fine.
Love your videos, they make me laugh way more than any other tech youtuber, keep them coming.
I have used literally dozens of Thermaltake smart 500 watt psu's in builds over several years, never ever had an issue..
they may not be the best but they ALWAYS get the job done..
wow that must be the first sponsorship where ive gone "huh thats actually quite good ill use that in my next build"
also, why are modern chassis today TWIZE the thickness of a normal case in the 2016 area?
-I would rather have a tall like a mxi tower than a short thick one
