Thermalright Peerless Assassin 120 Mini White CPU Cooler, 6 Heat Pipes AGHP Technology, with 120mm PWM Fan, 1500RPM Speed, for AMD:AM4 AM5/Intel LGA 1851/1700/1150/1151/1200/2011,PC Cooler

multiple reviews are saying this cooler is amazing but I'm getting consistent 90 Plus temperatures at max load on my Ryzen 7700x. It very likely I did something wrong but being this is my second time building a pc my fifth time change out thermal paste and reattaching a CPU cooler. I'm lose to what I could have done wrong. I repasted and reattached and got slightly lower temp by a few degrees 87 to be exact. just going to replace it because I prefer lower temps. at Ideal temp is 51 to 54 I am hoping to drop a few more degrees. In all honesty it prob lay just that my cpu naturally run hot. In fact a lot of research has made me sure that it’s the heat monster.

I'm using this temporarily until all my parts come in for NY sff build. I've been pleasantly surprised in this lil guy's performance (no pun intended lol)!At minimal tasks my PC runs at a pretty steady 52c. Gaming, hasn't gone above 72c.I think I'll be keeping this as a worry backup cooler or pass it along to someone in need.I totally recommend this cooler

Not quite the cooling power of the original, but still visually awesome and good enough for my 5700x

If you're rackmounting your PC and need something that performs well and fits in a 4U chassis, get this.This cooler is quiet, keeps CPU temps reasonable, costs way less than the competition, is decently easy to install (the documentation is decent), and it fits my specific use cases perfectly. I recommended the black version of this cooler to some Australian friends who were building a similar type of PC and also highly recommend it. It's not *quite* as good as the standard Peerless Assassin, I suppose, but it's 85% of the experience at a smaller size.

WHAT THIS THING CAN DO AT IT'S PRICE POINT IS UNMATCHED.don't even think twice, this is the best you can get for the money

This is another winner from Thermalright, especially if you need a slightly smaller overall height. It installs very similar to the regular Peerless Assassin, but it is just shorter and only comes with a single fan. The look, performance, and build quality match their other heatsinks.

Actually better than its full-size counterpart in everything: lower fan noise (less in high pitch), backplate being metal rather than plastic, no spike extruding any more. It’s just a bit strange the black variant charges 1/3 more.

It is smaller than my SE that cools i7 12700 that has more than 180W TDP but is good enough for 9800x3d that is less than 130W TDP. The installation is al.ost the same and easy. The built quality looks good to me. If you need a short cooler（13.5cm) for 9800x3d, it will be a good candidate for the price.
