Thermalright AXP-120-X67 Black ARGB Low Profile CPU Air Cooler with Quite 120mm TL-C12015B-S Low Profile PWM Fan, 6 Heat Pipes, 67mm Height, for AMD AM4/Intel LGA 1700/1150/1151/1851/1200/2011/2066

Recently picked up a Lenovo Thinkcentre M70S G3 on Ebay to use as a test workstation/server for gaming. The stock cooler was extremely loud even when idling, so I wanted to pick up a new cpu cooler. The thing about the Thinkcentre was there are capicitors that block off other kinds of low profile cpu coolers, thankfully this one uses standoffs and has the cooler sitting right above the capicitors.Switching from the stock cooler to this significantly reduced the noise levels and kept CPU temps at around 60 degrees Celsius while doing some light gaming according to hwmonitor. Taking off the case side panel brought it down even further to 40 degrees average, same workload. Anyone else attempting to reduce noise/heat even further should probably look into drilling holes or making a cut out for the cpu fan, that's what I plan to do at least.If you have the same computer, you'll notice that you can't use the included backplate since the case has standoffs built into it. You'll have to use the screws that are double sided then the small blue washer to add a bit more height. I'm sure that's the intended purpose but couldn't find any videos of people setting it up like that. Also, make sure the heat pipes are towards the ram, at least that's the only orientation I could make this cpu cooler fit in.Overall, the cooler is much better than stock, it brought noise levels and cpu temps way down. I have no complaints, it does its job!

very tight, great fit for Cooler Master Ncore 100 Air.comes with mounting for AM5/AM4, installed it on 850b-i mITX motherboard.

I decided to use a full sized 120mm fan over the slim one due to the increases flow and excess space this cooler affords. I recommend this product.

Just installed this on an i5-12600K, without overclocking, and it does a great job of keeping the CPU cool. With a custom fan profile in the BIOS, I can run a CPU stress test all day, the fan stays on a low speed that is silent, and the CPU temperature never goes about 60 C.The last Thermalright product I bought was the SK-6 20+ years ago. Glad to see Thermalright is still making high quality CPU coolers. In between, I used a few barely adequate Intel stock coolers, and some very nice but expensive Noctua coolers. This Thermalright product is a great balance between performance and value for money.

It arrived with one of the corners broken off but I was able to rig it to hold fast even with that. Shipping was a bit slow to me but I wasn't too concerned (only a day or 2 late)The fan itself is quiet and very nice to look at in my case. I have had it for a few months now and it is 100% an upgrade from the fan i had.While I only use 2 RAM sticks, I am worried I won't be able to fit my other 2 as I currently have them in the off slots. 😅

Fits perfect in a jonsbo n4. 3mm separation to the top vents. Keeps a Xeon 2680v4 nice and cool.

This is a great cooler and you get great Temps especially with my Ryzen 7 3700x but if you’re using a Fractal Design Ridge you’re gonna have to unscrew the power cord relocation bracket and pull the cord out out because the cooler is too big for it

In case the page listing changes in the future, this is a review of the Thermalright AXP120-X67, the White ARGB model specifically. And mostly a review of the fan. The TLDR is the title.Install was tricky due to there not being thorough instructions, especially with it being unclear which notch in the backplate to put the screws for LGA1200 spacing. I eventually got it to mount correctly.Used for cooling an i5 11600K, which is admittedly a higher power consumption CPU. That said, it initially performed quite well at standard fan curve. Stress tested it with the Intel XTU standard test for 15 minutes multiple times and got very good results. Boost clocks stayed high and temperatures never broke 90C, mostly stuck around 79-81C. Ambient room temp between 18-20C. Got framerates in line with the previous (larger) cooler I had in my normal suite of games. No complaints there, other than a constantly audible fan noise. That said, it was a fairly quiet and low whoosh and didn't bother me after a few hours first time use.Never bought an RGB anything before for a PC, but wanted to add a splash of color to my black and white desk setup. The RGB fan cycles through a standard rainbow if you don't use any software, which I didn't. The Thermalright logo sticker on the fan hub was off-center, which bothered my OCD until I closed up the case. I'm using the Hyte Revolt 3, and I leave the inner black mesh in the white side panels. Can't clearly see the fan shape details through it, so the off-center sticker didn't bother me after closing it. The colors were pleasant and fairly well diffused, color cycling was slow and smooth, added a nice and relaxing ambiance.Note how I keep using past tense about this cooler/fan combo... After about 6-8 weeks of daily use the fan started to get consistently louder, increasing daily. Three months went by and it sounded like it was at full speed under even light to medium power loads. I started checking my temperatures and trouble shooting the fan speed, but everything seemed normal other than the noise. I started to get worried, but I was past the Amazon return and support period.After 3.5 months, it started to make a horrible grinding noise at all but full speed RPMs. Seems the bearing mechanism finally failed. I took it off the cooler to see if it is user serviceable, but it appears to be a sealed/molded back on the hub. Fairly sure taking it apart will result in breaking it further, so I won't try. I put an Arctic 120mm P12 Slim (15mm high) PWM PST on it that I had lying around from another old build. While that fan is much quieter and fits perfectly, it doesn't seem to be able to generate enough static pressure compared to the original fan. It can't cool the CPU well enough even at 100% RPM without clocks dropping and severe framedips in normal games. I even have had the system crash due to heat when gaming.I've now swapped to a be quiet! Dark Rock TF2, which takes up much more room and was much harder to install... but has a much better set of fans on there (Silent Wings 1 and 3, in push-pull config). I shouldn't have tried to use such a small cooler on this CPU. I was hoping to get a Fractal Ridge case initially, but they had sold out by the time I tried ordering... But that said, the fact that it couldn't last a full 4 months of use makes me think the stock fan either had a manufacturing defect or won't have very good longevity with lower power CPUs. Perhaps it would last a year? Maybe 2? I've had other slim fans last years without developing noise when set to run at near top RPM most of the time. My guess is that the addition of the RGB components resulted in using a cheaper bearing type, perhaps necessitated by the slimmer depth available for the LED control and light components...All in all, get a different fan if you intend to use this heatsink.
