Thermalright's Phantom Spirit 120 EVO is a strong twin tower air cooler that lands near 240 millimeter AIO performance and can edge out the Peerless Assassin by a degree or two. It has seven heat pipes, higher RPM fans, and some RGB, with reports of quiet operation when the fan curve is tuned. It has handled Ryzen 9950X, 9950X3D, and 7800X3D builds well, including compact cases and long gaming sessions. The main caveat is that it is not in 360 millimeter AIO territory, and a 9800X3D build saw very high shader loading temperatures. A solid fit for most AMD gaming rigs and moderate high end builds.
builders cooling a Ryzen 9-class CPU (like a 9950X/9950X3D) because commenters report it cools those chips "with ease" and "no issues," including in demanding gaming loads.
ITX PC builders gaming on a hot CPU (like a 7800x3D) because one commenter saw ~75°C in an ITX case during heavy gaming and said it replaced an AIO.
people running x3D CPUs who want to avoid fan ramping under load because a long-term report on a 7800x3D said temps stayed under 70°C in 4K gaming and the fans didn't need to spool near 100% to maintain temps.
AM5 users who care about fan control and a slightly cooler temperature than close alternatives because one commenter said the PS is about 1-2°C cooler than a competing model and that the EVO's fan curve stays controlled and doesn't get loud (with some RGB).
buyers who want a cooler that can handle higher-end gaming without thermal throttling because a commenter said their setup stayed well under thermal throttle even with an 8% OC.
owners of very high-end hardware in cases where you're pushing extreme cooling demands (like needing 360mm AIO-level performance) because benchmarks commenters say it can't compete with a 360mm AIO and is mainly sufficient unless you're running top-end hardware in a restrictive case.
people specifically trying to cool a 9800x3D who are sensitive to shader-load spikes because one commenter reported 95-96°C during shader loading even after repasting, and said switching to a different setup (adapter + Noctua DH-14) brought temps under 90°C.
buyers who are expecting a quiet cooler at all times because commenters note the EVO's higher-RPM fans can be louder than the SE version (even if they prefer the EVO's fan quality and controllable curve).
people who don't need much cooling headroom (like pairing it with a lower-power CPU such as a 7600X) because one user said it's "overkill" for their 7600X.

I haven't had temp issues with my CPU in all this time and I don't hear/see it spool up to 100% or close to it in order to keep my temps down.
4K gaming, temps stay under 70C, whenever I check.
i just got their plain 7-pipe with 1500rpm fans for $32
so even without the cosmetics, i would have like better fans.
at least what i got keeps my cpu well under thermal throttle
even with a 8% OC on ram & cpu.
btw, in case anyone was wondering,
i emailed support about the black paint they use
it has no thermal effect at all, and it's all about cosmetics.

THIS MODEL [amazon.com] is the one I bought and it looks identical. UPC code: 755225213451
The model shown in OP's link has UPC: 755225219231
Really the coil wine of my GPU is the loudest.

Edit: swipe left 3 times on the picture and you can see the ram sits right beneath the fans. Clearance is definitely an issue.
