This article covers Thermalright Assassin Spirit 120 EVO White ARGB Enfriador de aire de CPU.

Overview

The Thermalright Assassin Spirit 120 EVO White ARGB is a single-tower CPU cooler that punches above its weight class. With a clean white heatsink and twin 120mm ARGB fans, it's designed for builders who want both performance and aesthetics without breaking the bank. Four 6mm heatpipes and a dense aluminum fin array handle CPUs up to around 180W TDP, making it a solid choice for mid-range gaming and productivity rigs. Both fans use S-FDB (fluid dynamic) bearings for quiet operation, spinning at up to 2000 RPM while staying under 28.2 dBA. The ARGB lighting connects via a standard 3-pin 5V header, and the white fan blades and frame ensure the LEDs diffuse evenly for a sleek glow. It's a direct competitor to coolers like the Cooler Master Hyper 212 and be quiet! Pure Rock 2, but at a more aggressive price point.

Connectivity & Compatibility

The cooler supports Intel LGA1700, LGA1200, and LGA1151 sockets, plus AMD AM4 and AM5. A separate mounting kit is needed for LGA1851 (available from Thermalright). The included PWM fans use standard 4-pin headers, and ARGB control requires a 5V RGB header on the motherboard. Height is 156mm, which fits most mid-tower cases, but check your case's CPU cooler clearance – especially for narrow or compact ATX cases. Memory clearance is good for standard-height RAM; tall heatspreaders may require moving the front fan slightly upward (the fan clips allow height adjustment).

Product Info

Released in late 2023, the Assassin Spirit 120 EVO White ARGB retails for around $30–35 USD / ¥5,000–5,500 JPY. Thermalright positions it as a mid-range entry, but its build quality and included accessories (TF7 thermal paste, full mounting kit, two fan clips) rival coolers costing twice as much. Warranty is two years.

Best Use Cases

White-themed builds: If you're building an all-white PC, this cooler matches perfectly with white cases, cables, and RGB components. The ARGB adds customizable flair without being overwhelming. If your case isn't white, the standard (non-White) EVO is cheaper and performs identically. Budget-conscious gamers and streamers: For CPUs like the AMD Ryzen 5 7600 or Intel Core i5-14600K, this cooler delivers ample cooling for gaming and encoding. It's quieter and often cheaper than budget 120mm AIOs. However, for an overclocked Core i7 or Ryzen 7 under all-core loads, consider a dual-tower cooler. * Silent PC enthusiasts: At low RPMs the S-FDB fans are near-inaudible. Combined with a well-ventilated case, you can run a quiet fan curve without thermal issues. But if airflow is restricted, the fans will ramp up – so ensure your case has decent intake/exhaust.
