I have one cooling my 9950x3D in a tiny itx case and it works well. Great price for an effective cooler.

I tried this out and went with the arctic 3 pro 360. But, it really was pretty quiet and effective. If you're on a budget the phantom spirit 120 is probably the best cooler available.

edit: doh, I just realized that I posed about the ps 120 and this deal is for the peerless assassin. It probably performs similarly, but can't speak to it specifically. I'd guess the ps 120 is slightly better

The rainbow puke version is a penny cheaper. Good little cooler.

The peerless assassin was reviewed by gamers nexus and it's basically the best air cooler on the market bar none

Huh, that's good to know. I thought the extra heat pipe would make a difference, but maybe not. This is definitely a good deal for anybody that needs a nice air cooler.

I've read that their Frozen Angel (or Spirit ?), is even better
(same temps less sound) but are almost impossible to get in the US.

FYI this post is mislabeled, link goes to Phantom Spirit (which is better with 7 heat pipes) not Peerless Assassin, yeah their naming scheme is confusing

This is the nonviolent version. The violent one would be the Peer Assassin.

This is an amazing cooler and really good priced. Not really a big deal because it is usually around $35 but even at regular price it is great. For 120W and below it is overkill and 4 pipes coolers should be more than enough, but an extra $10, why not.
