I'm considering swapping out my current all-in-one cooler that came with my pre-built setup because I'm worried it's nearing its end. I'm leaning towards an air cooler and was thinking about the Thermalright Peerless Assassin 120 SE. Here are my specs:
- CPU: Intel Core i7-13700KF 3.4 GHz 16-Core Processor
- Current CPU Cooler: iBuypower AW4 65 CFM Liquid CPU Cooler
- Motherboard: ASRock Z790-C ATX LGA1700
- Memory: TEAMGROUP T-Force Vulcan 32 GB (2 x 16 GB) DDR5-5200 CL40
- Storage: Samsung 990 Pro 2 TB M.2-2280 PCIe 4.0 X4 NVME SSD
- Video Card: MSI VENTUS 2X OC GeForce RTX 4070 12 GB
- Case: HYTE Y40 ATX Mid Tower Case

The Thermalright Peerless Assassin 120 SE is definitely a solid choice! If that cooler is pretty new (less than 5 years), it should be reliable. But if you want to explore other options, check out the Thermalright Phantom Spirit—it's well-regarded too. Just make sure to look at some benchmarks to see how they perform with your Intel CPU!
Which one would you suggest between the EVO and the 120 SE?
