Thermalright Phantom Spirit 120 SE Black CPU Cooler TL-C12B V2 Fans

Description

Product Overview

The Thermalright Phantom Spirit 120 SE Black CPU cooler is engineered for enthusiasts who demand consistent thermal performance without compromising on aesthetics. Its core consists of an anodized aluminum top plate paired with a finely carved pure copper base, creating an optimal interface between the processor and the heat‑dissipating structure. Seven 6 mm heat pipes, each employing the fourth‑generation AGHP (Advanced Gravity‑Holding Pipe) technology, transport heat efficiently across the fins, while the dual TL‑C12B V2 PWM fans generate up to 66 CFM of airflow at a quiet 1500 RPM. The cooler measures 125 mm × 135 mm × 154 mm, fitting comfortably within most mid‑tower cases and offering ample clearance for RAM modules and graphics cards.

Usage

Designed for both AMD and Intel platforms, the Phantom Spirit 120 SE supports AM4, AM5, and a full range of Intel LGA sockets including 1150, 1151, 1155, 1156, 1200, 1700, and 1851. This broad compatibility makes it an ideal solution for builders upgrading from older generations or assembling new high‑end workstations. Whether you are overclocking a Ryzen 9 or a Core i9, the cooler maintains stable temperatures under sustained loads, ensuring longevity for the CPU and surrounding components. Its low‑profile design also suits compact builds where space is at a premium, while the black finish blends seamlessly with dark-themed chassis interiors.
