While performance wasn’t directly affected, knowing that the PC is a lot cooler on the inside is a comfort, and would allow for our CPU to achieve slightly higher boosting speeds. The results didn’t change much at all with the longer test: The average clock speeds maintained dropped by 29 MHz on DeepCool’s LT720 and 31 MHz on Thermalright’s Assassin X 120 R SE.

Fan curves, excessively checking temperatures, and the wild ways they attempt to bring it down as low as possible, it’d be impressive if it weren’t so dry. If you’re someone who just wants to ensure their PC is staying cool, there are still cheaper options out there that might suffice. We understand that this is all to ensure proper secure fittings and work around Intel and AMD’s designs, but we hope to see more innovative designs and mechanisms for installation in the future. At idle, we saw the system drop to about 30-35 degrees, and at its peak running games and video editing software, was hitting a new low of 60 during intensive sessions.

Despite battling with the 240mm radiator during installation into our relatively compact case, once it was up and running, we were impressed.

But to be sure that was sufficiently long to tax the cooler, we also retested both Thermalright’s Assassin X 120 R SE and DeepCool’s LT720 with a 30-minute Cinebench test. When you add powerful, low-noise cooling to the mix, your system will look great and will run even better.

CORSAIR offers a complete range of products to equip gamers, enthusiasts, and esports athletes, including mechanical keyboards, precision gaming mice, wireless headsets, premium PC components, and the CORSAIR ONE fully-integrated gaming PC. Making setup and installation easier than ever, all three coolers include the new CORSAIR iCUE Commander CORE controller, offering immediate control of your pump speeds, fan speeds, and lighting, with the potential for full control over lighting and fan speeds via PWM for up to six CORSAIR RGB fans. This split flow cold plate design features a 65mm 2 rectangular copper base plate with flattened pyramid-shaped, or trapezoid-shaped, cooling fins to increase heat dissipation. Adjust fan and pump speeds, control and synchronize your cooler's RGB lighting with all iCUE-compatible devices, and monitor CPU and coolant temperatures, all from a single intuitiveinterface.Lower power consumption causes the noise of the CPU cooler to fall below the noise created by the system fans (even while restricted to 35% speed).
