For me it depends on what you’re doing. If it’s only gaming then you should be ok. Try and keep an eye on CPU temps when you’re playing. Some games hit the CPU more than others.

Very interesting suggestion. I’ve moved away to 011 mini now but I’ll pin this for others to try.

Really? Did you leave the sticker on the bottom of the CPU block. I’ve done that a couple of times.

I did but I had to move some of risers around. Once I did that I had no problem.

I visually lined up the holes with riser holes on the case and moved them. If you need extra risers there are some in the accessories box.

@@jimbopcbuilds thank you so much! this is the first actually useful information I got in 3 days of searching. Nowhere could I find a definitive answer. I am slightly worried about the force being exerted on the motherboard by the coolers (i have very similar coolers, plain 212 and 212x). But I guess with proper mounting it should be fine.

I was worried as well but the mounting of the cooler combined with the number of motherboard mounting points takes it no problem. Keep in mind the 212 isn’t the heaviest of coolers. You’ll have to let me know how your build goes.

I am planning to do a little build log on my blog, just to get something else searchable on the internet so for other in the future it'll be easier to answer the "where will my huge supermicro board fit" question. I will link it once online. Currently I've messaged a seller in germany (im in the netherlands) whos selling a new one for 160+shipping. If that doesnt pan out ill buy new. Next week is exam week though so earliest when ill have time to do anything about this will be next weekend.

Thank you. 🙂

Thank you 😀

Thank you

Twice my testing hasn't gone well. On both the 10700k and the 12900k. I think I may have got a bad product. All other reviews haven't had the saem problem to be fair.

@@jimbopcbuilds verify the thermopaste

@@jimbopcbuilds makes sure all fan's cable are connected to a power source and that you cleaned the previous paste and replaced by a good one. I don't see why it wouldn't work if you have direct contact with the cpu touching the Assassin. If all fans turned, the rest is material.

@@synaestesia-bg3ew I did all those things both times. I always do.

@@jimbopcbuilds what max temperature is overheating? Did it move down to even a degree?

I would expect so as long as you use the 120 version. The clips used to install the fans are pretty standard.

@@jimbopcbuilds Yes I will be using 120 ones. Thank you for the answer.

@@Whiteshade You're very welcome

They really do. A 360 for $57 is nuts, but one that performs so well is something else.

I don't have the 240. Obviuosly it'll have less cooling capacity than the 360. Check out season where I test the 360 against a 12900k. Use that as the base and roughly take 10-15% off that. Based on what I've seen with 360 I wouldn't use the 240 on anything too high end.

@@jimbopcbuilds i will cool the 7800x3d with aio which is not kinda hot

@@samueletirelli3611 You should be ok, but I obviously can't say for certain.

@@jimbopcbuilds ok thank you

It’s literally the next cooler video

It’s pretty decent. What CPUs did you use it with?

@@jimbopcbuilds I used in both 13500 & 12400F

Nice. I've done the testing for my video and spoiler alert, you won't be disappointed.

That is indeed a bummer. Did they give you a full refund?

I covered that in the next video of the cooler league

@@jimbopcbuilds thanks, i'll check it out

Have you connected the RGB cable from the fan controller to the correct header on your motherboard? I did wonder about the number of fans = LEDs but 3 shouldn't be a problem.

@@jimbopcbuilds yeah, i connected it to the proper argb header, I posted this around in reddit to see if I could get help but so far no luck either

You might be better filming a short video of what’s happening and all the cables. It’d be easier to see if there’s anything obviously not right.

@@jimbopcbuilds since my last message I just went ahead and reached out to lianli themselves. I pulled the fan hub off the case and found what looked like to be some damage to the board (wasn't from me, a bit annoying but whatever) I just reached out to see if I could get a replacement and have them send replacement cables as well just in case. I really appreciate your help though!

At least you know what the issue is now and it’s nothing you did which is good. You’ll have yo let me know how Lian Li respond.

Thank you for the posistive feedback.

Glad I could help! Let me know how the upgrade goes.

It is a great cooler, especially for the price.

@@jimbopcbuilds he is equal or better than deepcool ak620 and tô incredible that seem os more cheap

Agreed

Thank you 😀 Been in the US for 13 years.

@@jimbopcbuilds i am Brazilian and my dream is living in Birmingham at england

Interesting. Most people go for London.

There’s a header on your motherboard. The jumpers location and how to add them is in your motherboards manual.

Thanks for the tip and thank you for positive feedback. I was only able to bring 2 PCs with me from the UK. The other old case I have has my NAS sitting in it. So may tidy that up as well. But I think next I may hunt for an old case and may be build a sleeper.

Thank you and indeed. I’m also really glad I was able to get the best out of an older case that I really love.

Thank you :)

It should on the top front right corner if memory serves by the USB ports.

If you haven’t connected the fan controller 3 pin RGB cable to the motherboard then use the small button next to the power button.

The cooler utilizes either its own back plate or AMD one which helps secure it. I used the cooler master MA824 stealth for a time in my main PC and I never had an issue. So based on what I’ve seen I don’t think you’ll have a problem. Watch out for cooler clearance with your case. That can be more of an issue with larger coolers.

Thanks Jim, Ill give it a try

I’ve not tested it so it’s difficult to say. I’m just starting season 2 so I’ll add it to the list for the season.

@@jimbopcbuilds Thanks! I'll probably order it to see if it really does better. Welshy says the Notte is loud, but it's pretty quiet as far as I'm concerned. My Cooljag Everflow fan is MUCH louder, not to mention my Delta! ;) BTW, are you aware of any other good quality brands that are as cheap as TR?

@@ThePCExpertAmateur Deepcol aren't too ba, but tbh price, TR are hard to beat.

@@jimbopcbuilds There are plenty of great AIOs out there. The problem is that most of them are overcharging, and TR proves that again and again. The only other brands I see trying to compete with them are crap brands like SAMA and Draecena. I'm not saying that TR has the best quality necessarily, but they really show us that we're overpaying. At least in the USA!

@@ThePCExpertAmateur Agreed. I do wonder how much of that is down to patents etc.

To be fair it’s difficult to compare. That’s why I took the point system approach to try and make that easier.

@@jimbopcbuilds can I ask: in terms of noise-normalized performance.. Do you think it's worth changing from a Thermalright peerless assassin to a frozen Notte 360? I understand the 360 is louder especially with the pump, but I would anyway need 3 intake fans in my case.. So the comparison is; frozen Notte (3 fans) or peerless assassin 5 fans (3 on case and 2 on cooler)? Thanks!

@@nikolakostic5667 Personally I would go with the peerless assasin and case fans.

@@jimbopcbuilds thank you!

@@nikolakostic5667 You're very welcome

You’re very welcome 🙂

I don't know for certain as I haven't tested, but based on what I know I think yes. The 7800X3D has reduced clocks so doesn't run too hot compared to others, so I think you'll be good.

They never do. I still have the old website and all the old pictures. Some of the best times ever.

I’m retesting some of the coolers for season 2 on a 12900k. Based on what I’ve seen so far I’d recommend the cooler master MA824 Stealth

Taking design out of it and may be price, the MA824 for me.

Nice. I have another Keychron on my desk at home attached my dock and it’s really good. They are generally really good keyboards and the mice ain’t bad as well.

Yes the pump is away from the block and so is the cable. There is a data adapter if you need to use that. I had a pump header on the motherboard so I connected it to that. Check on your motherboard to see if you have the same.

@@jimbopcbuilds sorry I don't know anything about it but what is this adapter for? I don't have my PC yet but I have an MSI Carbon wifi

The adapter is to use sata power rather than connecting it to the motherboard. The carbon wifi boards I’ve used in the past do have a pump header. Check the manual if you’re not sure which one it is.

Thank you and agreed. Luckily some others do include one.

With your CPU I’d go for the 620. As for case what are your options?

As u say, my opinion is just I want suitable build, balanced build If u talk about casing then you suggest me from your side, which casing and cooler combo Should I made for my CPU and should I need 750w psu? Or 650w is enough And well am not gonna buy GPU now, I will buy 3-4 months later Just currently I would do coding and productivity stuffs that's it

Casing - 1STPLAYER T4 mATX Gaming Casing Cooler - AG620 how is that?

@@arrohan2297 Never heard of the case and I don't think it's available in the US. The cooler though, yes it's very good.

Well but I'm confused for my Casing, tho montech air 100 is good but gpu size is 33mm and I need more So, Do you have suggestion, which will be good for me and I just want a good build quality and easy to clean, that kind of pc casing

Nice. It's a good case and was fun to build in. You'll have to let us know how it went. Also you should publish your build on builds.gg to share it. I publish all my builds there.

Oh ok. The biggest plus for the PA 120 is the price to colling performance ratio, so if it's more expensive where you are then I'd agree with your choice.

I’ve not seen it for a while. I’ll take a look though.

Some on ebay under $45, got mine for $40 (25 +15 shipping)

@@kokakolakid9767 Nice

Yes it’ll be fine. I’ve recently tested it in my upgraded test bench (12900k) and it was fine.

@@jimbopcbuilds thank you for the response, as i plan to purchase a 13900k for a cpu intensive game, and there isnt really a cooling solution that is this cheap without having to downgrade the cpu so i can get a better cooler.

When I stressed it on the 12900k it got a bit loud (as most do) but it didn’t thermal throttle at any stage.

@@jimbopcbuilds i actually might swap the fans, with the arctic p12 pst pwm argb. As theyre on the highest performing aio the arctic liquid freezer. Since the price kind of hits the fans hard on this one, ill pay the extra 45 dollars on a 3 pack of the argb fans to reduce noise and hopefully increase performance and decrease temps.

Not a bad plan. The fans will more than likely be quieter as well.

I haven’t tested with a 12900k so I can’t say for certain. I would say however that if you’re not planning to do CPU intensive tasks you should be fine.

I connect all the lighting to the hub and connected that to the three pin header on the motherboard.

I would expect so yes. Although some 5800x run quite warm.

The front fan can be adjusted to not impact RAM. As for the actual cooling tower it self, I doudt it would be wide enough without fans to impact RAM. The thermalright does carry measurements for the radiator height and width if that helps?
