CPU Cooler Thermalright Burst Assassin 120 ARGB with 120mm ARGB Fan, Socket-compatible air cooler

Thermalright Burst Assassin 120 ARGB is a compact CPU air cooler with a 120mm ARGB fan and integrated addressable RGB lighting. It combines a fin stack heatsink and a single 120mm fan to improve heat dissipation for standard desktop processors. The cooler supports common Intel and AMD sockets and is intended for gaming and workstation builds where improved CPU thermal performance and configurable lighting are required.

Advantages

The cooler offers a balance of cooling performance and compact size, featuring an ARGB fan for customizable lighting and a multi-socket mounting design for broad CPU compatibility. Its single-fan tower layout provides active airflow through the heatsink to lower CPU temperatures while fitting into typical mid-tower cases.

Suitable for

• Gaming desktop builds with a single 120mm cooler
• Home and office workstations requiring improved CPU cooling
• Systems where addressable RGB lighting is desired
• Compact towers and mid-tower cases with clearance for a 120mm tower cooler

Key specifications

• Cooling type: Air cooler with heatsink and 120mm fan
• Fan size: 120 mm (ARGB)
• Supported CPU sockets: Intel LGA 115x, 1200, 1700; AMD AM4, AM5
• Lighting: Addressable RGB (ARGB) integrated in fan
• Configuration: Single-fan tower cooler

How to use

Install the cooler following the motherboard and cooler manufacturer instructions: mount the backplate or mounting brackets, apply thermal paste to the CPU heatspreader, position the heatsink and secure it with the provided screws or clips, and connect the fan power and ARGB lighting cables to the appropriate motherboard headers. Ensure the cooler is oriented to provide unobstructed airflow through the case and verify fan and ARGB operation in BIOS or with compatible software.

Recommendations

For reliable performance, use a compatible ARGB header and PWM fan header on the motherboard, maintain clear airflow inside the case, and periodically clean dust from the heatsink fins and fan. Verify socket compatibility and case clearance before installation.
