fantastic CPU cooler at a fantastic price.
This is awesome I wish I'd installed it sooner. I had a Corsair AIO water cooler and it never seemed to act right. I know it was installed correctly (i've built quite a few PC's over the decades), but for example sometimes the CPU block light would come on, sometimes it wouldn't. My CPU would run hot (5800x3d) and I felt that the AIO just wasn't working well enough. It WAS working, just not as well as I thought it should.Saw this cooler on Amazon for less than $40. and on impulse picked it up, and it sat under my desk for probably more than half a year. I just never seemed to have the time to take apart my desktop and remove the AIO and install this.Well last week I got tired of feeling like I had a space heater under my desk and finally swapped them out and the difference is like night and day. For one thing it blows the hot air 'back' instead of 'up' at me, and somehow it's about 5-8 degrees cooler. Which doesn't sound like a lot but it does make a difference. Maybe I should've used a 3 fan AIO instead of a 2 fan AIO, but I was worried the larger 3 fan wouldn't fit.The desktop is running fine, temps are low, this CPU cooler looks 'cool' and everything is running fine.I wish the fan aRGB wires were just a tiny bit longer, even just an inch or two would've been better. I had to run them down behind the MB and up through the bottom to get to the right header on my ASUS mb, and the cords just barely reached. But other than that there were no issues.the RGB for them is controlled by the Armoury Crate software and I've had no issues with it.All in all it's a great cooler and I'd recommend it pretty highly.

Awesomely Dead Silent
Bought this for a sleeper no RGB computer build with a 7800X3D. It was my first time building a PC, it's pretty beginner friendly. It's so quiet I can't even tell if my computer is on if I'm not looking at the screen; the only time I can hear it is when I'm pushing my games on max graphics, even then its super low volume. The temps are fine and no problems with speed either. So glad I went with this affordable option than a trendy liquid cooling, saved me a lot of headache during the build too with its simplicity.

One of the best air coolers on the market, with some minor hiccups
Installed on top of a Ryzen 7 9700X at stock clock speeds. Normal Windows 11 usage rarely gets over 45 C. In Red Dead Redemption 2 at 1440p ultra max MSAA, CPU never gets over 65 C.A couple issues I had:A. The screws on the heatsink that screw into the mounting bracket seem to be cut a little short on some of these at the factory, making it hard to start the threads on both sides. Had to apply probably more pressure than I wanted to on a brand new system to mount both sides of the heatsink.B. The fans included with this were annoyingly loud at idle for no obvious reason. I tinkered with fan curves in my Asrock B850 Pro RS Wifi version 3.20 motherboard and couldn't get it it to sound any better. On a whim I decided to tinker with the wiring - this kit comes with a splitter cable so you can daisy chain the fans together on one CPU fan header. When I took out the splitter and put each fan on a separate header (for fan control and RGB), they sounded nearly silent like magic. If you're having issues with noise using this try that. These fans may have issues with power delivery or something if they're both run off the same CPU_FAN header.Overall great performance, look forward to years of use.

Best air cooler out there
Great affordable CPU cooler , I installed it with both a 9700x3d and 9950X . Works pretty good for both of themThe noise level is low and it’s super easy to install. Just be aware of the logo to tell you which direction to make it go

Excellent air cooler
Works well for my AMD 9800X3D CPU. Idle temps are usually around 40-42C , but I’ve seen as low as 38. Gaming usually is in the 60s with occasional high temperature spikes when the 9800X3D is building the cache on launch. I used the included thermal paste. The thermal paste is extremely thick and not easy to apply, but it seems to work well. The fans are pretty quiet. I don’t really notice them at all until they kick into high speed during those aforementioned temperature spikes.The ARGB on the fans looks great. I didn’t have clearance for my RAM (Patriot Viper Venom) so I had to move the front fan up a little. Only one memory stick is visible after the cooler is mounted over them, but it blends in well since my sticks are black with no RGB.I asked Thermalright what the difference is between TL-PS120 SE ARGB and PS120 SE ARGB, and they said there is no difference. I went with the TL one as it was a few dollars cheaper.

Good but Small Nitpicks
It’s really good. There were a couple things that brought it down a star. For one, when trying to install the fan clips, I sliced my finger on the metal and started bleeding. Second, one of the pins was slightly shorter than the other disallowing it to properly connect. Lastly, it’s a tiny bit loud but small drawback for big cooling. For reference, I have a Ryzen 5 9600x and it remained cool even under heavy load. Its range of colors is appealing, works well, and was easy enough to install (assuming you have slim and small fingers).

Exactly what I expected.
It was easy to mount on the cpu, and came with it's own thermal paste. It's whisper quiet, and it keeps my 9800X3d very cool under load. The RGB fans function as expected, although I'll probably disable it since I think it's distracting.

Perfect for budget builds
Noise levels great easy to install comes with all the hardware. Compatible with all cpu sockets even have an offset for am5 cpu and keeps it cool with ease. Used this on both my builds from AMD to intel no issues.
