You just remove the two "hook mounts" from the top side of the motherboard and replace them with AM4 brackets included. AM5 uses the same motherboard back plate as AM4 and the cpu deck heights are the same for AM4 and AM5 cpus. This cooler should be compatible with AM5 just following the instructions for AM4. As a general rule, if a cooler uses a custom back plate then it probably wouldn't work, if it uses the amd pack plate it will. **Q: Do the dual tower/dual fan coolers come with a 3rd set of clips to add a 3rd fan?** A: Dear customer: The dual-tower fan can only be installed with two fans. If more fans are needed, they can be installed on the side of the chassis. **Q: Will this work with an older AMD AM3+ socket? I want it for the FX8350 CPU.** A: Yes, AMD have used the same mounting holes from AM2 to AM4 (AM5 differs slightly in the way the backplate/CPU socket fits but the holes are still in the same place). This will fit the AM3+ socket and this cooler is actually a good match for that CPU as it works better on CPU's that are 125W and higher. **Q: Can the RGB be turned off and can you change the colours?** A: Yes the fans are ARGB and work with any motherboard / hub having the correct header. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ SIGNIFICANTLY Lowered My CPU Temps *by on Reviewed in the United Kingdom 5 May 2025* My CPU temps were hitting up to 90-100°C on demanding games with the STOCK intel cooler (was playing Oblivion Remastered, so maybe I should say poorly optimised games lol).I’ve got an i5 14400f paired with an RTX 4070, so these temps were crazy high, and straight up dangerous for my CPU.Now, I know the stock intel cooler is generally not great, but I was not expecting the crazy results that this CPU cooler gave me. I bought this for £27 (I think on sale). And, for £27, it lowered my temps from 90-100°C in Oblivion, to 50-55°C — incredible.This game often utilises up to 70% of my CPU, and sometimes higher, and the fact that I’m getting such low temps is amazing. I was honestly expecting, and hoping for, maybe 70-75°C on this game. I am really pleased with this CPU cooler, and it seems to be working amazingly.It gets kinda noisy in-game, but still NOT as loud as the Stock Intel Cooler. It’s audible when the fans start speeding up in more demanding games/environments, but I assume it’s to maintain those lower temps. If you really wanted to, you could create a custom fan curve, and you’d probably solve this issue. It’s honestly not an issue for me, it’s really not that loud at all. Also, at least it doesn’t turn my room into a sauna like the stock intel cooler!TL;DR: good quality, really nice temps with my CPU, really affordable price, and is compatible with AM4 boards, AM5 I believe as well (double check that), in addition to Intel boards. Can get a bit noisy, create a custom fan curve or buy a more premium CPU cooler or even a Liquid Cooler if you are sensitive or disturbed by fan noise.I used to play PS4 all the time, so I can tolerate fan noise pretty well, since that console was a jet engine. But honestly, it’s not that loud at all, just audible. Even playing with speakers, and no headphones, the fan noise doesn’t bother me. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Fantastic cooler, very reliable *by on Reviewed in the United Kingdom 18 March 2026* I’ve been using the Thermalright Peerless Assassin 120 SE CPU cooler and it’s excellent quality for the price. Thermalright is always my go-to brand when building PCs — very reliable and trusted.Cooling performance is great, even on high-end Ryzen CPU builds, keeping temperatures very low under load. Installation was straightforward and it looks clean in the build.Pros:• Excellent cooling performance• High-quality build• Trusted and reliable brand• Works well on high-end CPUsCons:• Nothing major to reportOverall, a fantastic CPU cooler that I’d highly recommend for anyone building a reliable, cool-running PC. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Cheap and effective if you're in a bind *by on Reviewed in the United Kingdom 21 April 2024* Giving this 5 stars for the price - it's a bargain.Had to RMA my h100i LCD and got this as a temporary replacement. I didn't use the bundled TIM but bought some MX-4 at the same time, which might have a positive impact on temps.Keeps my 13600KF under 60 degrees while gaming, so happy with it.Not really bad points, but:Mounting system is OK. I attached the backplate, then loosely popped on a couple of the mounting screws to keep it in place while I attached the mounting arms.. For LGA1700, you need the screws dead centre of the holes in the arms which I found to be a bit hit & miss.No arrows on fans. Assumed Thermalright logo side is intake side.This is probably just my usage case, but the front fan doesn't clear my Corsair RGB RAM, and the VRM shroud on my Gigabyte 790 UD-AX wouldn't let me attach it to the back, so had to attach the front fan slightly offset (see photo), which might impact temps a bit. Could have probably mounted vertical but didn't want it breathing in my GPU air...Not loud, but not quiet either when the fans ramp up. But then I've used AIOs for years so probably just got used to the silence.All in all though, it was relatively cheap and I can use my rig while I wait for my replacement AIO so very happy. ## Frequently Bought Together - Thermalright Peerless Assassin 120 SE CPU Air Cooler,PA120 SE,6 Heat Pipes Cpu cooler,Dual 120mm TL-C12C PWM Fan,Aluminium Heatsink Cover,AGHP Technology,for AMD AM4/AM5 Intel 1851/1700/1150/1200 - ARCTIC MX-4 (4 g) - Premium Performance Thermal Paste for all processors (CPU, GPU - PC, PS4, XBOX), very high thermal conductivity, long durability, safe application, non-conductive, non-capacitive - AMD Ryzensets 5 7600X Processor (integrated radeon graphics, 6 cores/12 threads, 105W TDP, AM5 socket, 38MB cache, up to 5.3 GHz max boost, no cooler) --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.hr/products/472413116-pa120-se](https://www.desertcart.hr/products/472413116-pa120-se) --- *Product available on Desertcart Croatia* *Store origin: HR* *Last updated: 2026-07-27*
