I'm surprised at people mentioning noise with this cooler. I've been using it for 2 years with my 7950X and my computer is 2 feet away from me (with no side panels cause I like the airflow), and I literally cannot hear the fans at all, no matter what I'm doing. It's so quiet I can hear my HDD spinning.
I have a Thermalright Assassin Spirit 120 V2 Plus which is currently $19. Easily keeps my i7-14700K cool. At max RPM I can hear the fans a little but usually a game is running which makes the fans inaudible.
Always a good choice for a basic air cooler, just replace the fan if you want a more quiet fan or a higher static pressure fan for more airflow as the stock fan is a bit loud at max RPM.
It's well above a basic air cooler, especially for it's price.
However the pretor 130 ultra is only slightly better than the phantom spirit. I recently upgraded to the pretor 130 ultra from the Phantom spirit 120 se. And i gained around 3-4c drop on my 5950x. Using same fan/paste/fan-profile.
3-4c is honestly pretty insane and about the pinnacle for an air cooler at this point.
Paid placement? Hardly seems like a deal, let alone front page. The Phantom Spirit 120 SE ARGB has been around the same price all along and I think it's considered a step up with 7 heat pipes instead of 6. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0CN8N3L2F
EDIT: The PS120SE I linked doesn't mention the TL-C12B fans, but I'm not sure there's a significant difference. There is another PS120SE that does also mention the same (I think) fans, but that one is a couple bucks more under the same listing.
Though now I'm even more confused then when I started. The first PS120SE doesn't mention the fans, but has TL in it's model name, like the fans. The PA120SE mentions TL-C12C-S fans for around the same price, but with a slightly lesser spec (6 heat pipes). The last PS120SE for a couple bucks more also mentions the fans, but model TL-C12B-S V2 fans, and no details as to which is really better.
Hard to imagine they'd put the better fans on the HS model designed as a lower tier product than the PS120SE though, so I'd just say pay a couple bucks more to get the PS120SE with C12B V2 fans.

Some people are very big on noise levels. Tbh for me I don't care as long as it's a normal noise level, my air purifier is by far louder.
