Thermalright Phantom Spirit 120 SE Dual Tower Air Cooler

Fast delivery and works as intended

Being a bit skeptical about such a low price cooling system I decided to take the plunge as not much would be lost if the cooler could not keep up. To my surprise this cooler actually keeps my i7-14700k cpu around 37c on the Gigabyte Z790 Aorus Elite AX in silent mode. And 33c in Full Speed mode, my case fans are 2 front 120mm and 1 rear 120mm in a Corsair Silencio 650 silent case. The case has restricted air flow due to its silent design. I was blown away at this coolers aggressive almost silent performance. Not being a fan of the latest led filled cases this cooler does more than a perfect job. It was a fiddle to mount it initially but if you take your time it's very simple really, Thrilled with it. Stop wasting money on huge complicated and expensive water cooled solutions and buy this instead. If you are a OC fanatic or a top gamer it may not be for you, I use my PC in stock/default configuration and have no interest in OC. My system is an i7-14700k, 2x 2tb Samsung 990 Pro m.2, 1x 4tb Samsung 870 Evo ssd, Nvidia 4060 8gb gpu (3 monitor setup). 64gb Corsair Vengeance ram, Corsair HX850 power supply. This system sits on my desk within 3 feet of me and its almost silent (just a whisper if sound) with the SE 120 cooler.

Quieter than a mouse, that's asleep, in a sleeping bag, under the floorboards, in someone else's house.
