Dual-tower air cooler — 155mm height, 6 heatpipes, 265W TDP, 25.6 dBA. The benchmark for value CPU cooling in Singapore at ~$52 SGD.
The Thermalright Peerless Assassin 120 SE is widely regarded as the best price-to-performance CPU cooler available. Released in 2022, it competes directly with 240mm AIOs at a fraction of the cost — and in benchmark testing frequently beats them for sustained CPU temperatures. It is the go-to recommendation for mid-range and high-end Singapore builds where an AIO is not required.

PA120 SE Variants
No RGB. 2× TL-C12C fans. Black or silver heatsink. The baseline — best value.
Adds ARGB lighting on fans via 3-pin 5V header. Slightly higher price. Available in black and white.

Before installing: Confirm your case supports at least 155mm CPU cooler height. Most mid-tower cases (Lian Li O11D, Phanteks P500A, Tecware Forge, Jonsbo BO400) clear this comfortably.
