Thermalright Assassin X 120 REFINED SE ARGB CPU Air Cooler Black (Assassin X120 Refined SE ARGB)

The Thermalright Assassin X 120 REFINED SE ARGB CPU Air Cooler Black (Assassin X120 Refined SE ARGB) is a precision-engineered, single-tower cooling solution purpose-built to deliver efficient thermal regulation for modern multi-core desktop processors. Combining a sleek, fully blacked-out anodized structural framework with vibrant addressable illumination paths, this performance-focused hardware solution ensures consistent operational stability while supporting clean, premium hardware build aesthetics.

The physical architecture utilizes an optimized high-density aluminum fin stack coupled to a high-efficiency direct-contact base plate via four 6mm fourth-generation anti-gravity heatpipes to accelerate localized core heat transfer away from the processor. Working concurrently with an updated 120mm TL-C12C-S PWM static pressure fan utilizing premium Fluid Dynamic Bearings, it generates rapid internal volumetric airflow to securely handle demanding 225W thermal design power surges while maintaining low structural noise loops.

Key Features & Specifications

  • AGHP Anti-Gravity Heatpipe Engineering: Implements four premium 6mm copper heatpipes designed with advanced internal capillary wick structures to guarantee unrestricted heat transfer efficiency in both vertical and horizontal chassis mounting layouts.

  • Compact 148mm Vertical Clearance: Features a lowered profile architecture that comfortably fits into a vast majority of mainstream standard mid-tower computer enclosures without contacting side panels.

  • Vibrant Addressable RGB Illumination: Equipped with a synchronized 120mm PWM performance fan featuring integrated addressable RGB lighting nodes that interface directly via a standard 5V 3-pin motherboard connection.

  • Sealed Fluid Dynamic Bearings: Integrated S-FDB fan rotation technology significantly reduces internal mechanical friction, constraining peak acoustic output to 25.6 dBA while maximizing the operational lifespan of the spinner.

  • Broad Modern Socket Fasteners: Includes robust structural multi-platform mounting brackets providing perfectly distributed contact seating pressure across current desktop sockets.
