SpecPicks Verdict

SpecPicks scored Thermalright Peerless Assassin 120 Vision MAX ARGB Black CPU Air… using a rating × review-volume × price-fit model applied to published specs and reviews across the processors category. Thermalright's processors lineup sits within the broader category mid-tier; price and specs are the deciding factors over brand loyalty here.

Key Features

  • [5-inch IPS LCD Screen] The radiator features a magnetic top cover with a built-in display, offering a resolution of 480x854. It allows real-time monitoring of various system parameters and, combined with the TRCC control software, supports custom background themes for personalized display.
  • [Excellent Cooling Performance] The CPU cooler is primarily composed of a dual-tower design, two fans, and a magnetically attached top cover featuring a 5-inch IPS LCD screen. Six pure copper heat pipes paired with a nickel-plated copper base ensure optimal contact with the CPU. Combined with a high-speed rotation of 2150 RPM, this configuration delivers superior cooling efficiency for the heatsink.

The dual fans included with the heatsink feature S-FDB V2 bearings, known for their longevity, ensuring sustained cooling performance over time.
  • [AGHP Heat Pipe Technology] The 6x6mm heat pipes utilize AGHP Gen 5.0 technology, effectively countering the adverse effects of gravity in both vertical and horizontal orientations. The pure copper heat pipes, combined with a nickel-plated micro-engraved copper base via reflow soldering, enhance cooling performance across dual platforms while accommodating GPU and RAM clearance with a designed offset.
