I'm currently using an Arctic BioniX P120 fan with my i7-14700KF CPU, but I'm considering switching to the ThermalRight Phantom Spirit 120 SE. I've been feeling like the Arctic isn't cooling as well as I'd like. Does anyone have experience with these coolers? What do you think about the switch?

If you're looking for quiet operation and great cooling, consider an AIO cooler. My 240mm AIO has performed well, but it can get a bit noisy with Intel CPUs. Just make sure it fits in your case, as sometimes those things can be a tight squeeze!
Just a heads up, the Arctic BioniX P120 is a fan, while the ThermalRight Phantom Spirit 120 SE is a CPU cooler. If you're looking at cooling performance, you might be comparing apples to oranges here. The SE version is the budget-friendly option from ThermalRight, and the EVO version is designed for better performance. Make sure you're looking at the right products for your needs!
Yeah, I'm not sure a big AIO would fit in my case. Might have to stick with air coolers for now!
