CPU Cooler Brand
Thermalright
Taiwanese CPU cooler brand — dominant in Singapore’s value air cooler market with the Peerless Assassin and Assassin X series.
Thermalright is a Taiwanese cooling brand with over 20 years of development. Originally known in enthusiast circles, the brand broke into the mainstream around 2022 with the Peerless Assassin 120 SE — a dual-tower air cooler that matched or beat AIOs costing three times more at a fraction of the price. Thermalright’s strategy of releasing many cooler variants at aggressive prices made it the dominant value air cooler brand in Singapore by 2023, widely sold at Sim Lim Square and online.
