Good price for a good cooler, but these are a good value most of the time and 10% off isn't too exciting.

This is a great cooler and one that fits my old I7-4790K CPU! Quiet and easy install. Make sure you have enough room to clear your RAM!

These are terrific for cooling off those RAMless and GPUless builds!

Photos and links are for the Phantom Spirit (7 heatpipes) which I believe is an updated version of the Peerless Assassin (6 heatpipes).

Someone play that song limbo rock " how low can ya go". What a deal. For gaming I have this cooling a ryzen 7 9800x3d and have never had my cpu throttled. I prefer this over AIO because I can't stand the noise of an AIO

Nice cooler!

I installed one of these in my son's computer (the v2 Version) and it worked great and still does!

If this helps anyone, I had to move one of the fans up by like 10mm to clear the ram, but was able to make it fit. The fan is still providing plenty of cooling and keeping my CPU temps down, especially given there are 2 fans

I have an undervolted 9700x, reaching its thermal limits using Handbrake, is the cooler doing its job? No crashes or anything.

Good product though this isn't a deal. It's the MSRP of it for the last several years.

Is this better than the ID-COOLING FROZN A620 PRO SE?

have one of these on a 9900k in my HTPC and keeps it around 80°C under full tilt. replaced the factory fans for noctua 120mm g2 fans and it does its job admirably. 9900k cpus are notoriously hard to cool.

Get whichever is cheaper if they're good enough for your CPU. If your CPU stays at ~90c or less full load with any heatsink the only thing that should really matter is the noise.
