ok about a month ago i started screwing around with my 3700x system i have had for 3 years as i got a EVGA hybrid water cooled 3080 and was upgrading from a 1070....ray tracing is a bitch and in most games i was never running over a 40% CPU on the old 1070....same game same 1440p resolution and now with ray tracing and all the shit the 3080 runs 2042 hits my CPU at a constant 96% sending my CPU in to the 90's with a coolermaster 212 black edition.....3700x dropped to 2.6ghz like it was 2008......so i went looking for a CPU cooler....everything pointed me to the 420 freezer 2 AIO from Arctic .....then i found more then a few reviews showing this air cooler at under 50 bucks being with in 5 to 7 C of the 420!!!!....so i said fuck it and looked around for a good deal....did not find it cheaper....found its bigger brother called the FROST TOWER that has 2 1800rpm fans that move over 80 cubic feet of air a minute......the base model with fans running 1500rpm moving 60 cubic feet is the one tested and only off by 7C max from the biggest AIO on the fucking market!!!! so i am hoping the version with the even better fans will do just a little better.....i was right....i can keep the old 3700x at 4.1ghz well in to the 70's now with it never topping out over 78C.....this is good for PBO running and nothing but a .05 under volt on my chip as some people are running up to 73C with the freezer 2 420mm AIO on their 3700x's.....
at any rate if you need the BEST air cooler on the market that even beats the D15 from Nactua look for this THERMALRIGHT PEERLESS ASSASSIN 120....just remember there are many version on the market with everything from ARGB to server grade fans like what i got with the FROST TOWER but the frost tower only a week after buying mine is no longer listed on amazon and is only found on ebay for 120 bucks...fucking nuts when i paid 43 dollars for mine.....the GAMERS NEXUS video is for the NONE SE version....the SE has the weakest of fans in the whole series that uses the same heat sink with different fan set ups....you can spot the SE version as its the one with the heat pipes sticking out of the fin stack....even the cheapest version with the weakest fans were stacking up to the D15 from Nactua at half the cost....Nactua at 90 dollar, peerless assassin at 45 dollars....
AGAIN MINE IS THE FROST TOWER with server grade fans running 1800rpm with 80 cubic feet of air flow....they even have the center bearings like real servers fans you can see in first pic
