The Thermalright Burst Assassin 120 Evo Dark is a performance-segment air CPU cooler designed to offer efficient cooling in a compact form factor. It features a D-type aluminum fin-stack heatsink, ventilated by two 120 mm fans in a push-pull configuration for optimal airflow. The cooler’s heat dissipation is facilitated by six 6 mm-thick copper heat pipes that extend from a nickel-plated copper base to the aluminum fin-stack, which is 52 mm thick and has jagged edges to increase air turbulence. The top of the stack is adorned with a metal plate finished with brushed aluminum. The included fans, a Thermalright TL-C12B V2 for the push position and a TL-C12RB V2 for the pull, both have fluid dynamic bearings and 4-pin PWM inputs, with maximum speeds of 1,500 RPM. The push fan delivers up to 66.17 CFM of airflow, while the pull fan provides 58 CFM, both with a static pressure rating of 1.58 mm H₂O and a noise output of 25.6 dBA.
The cooler’s dimensions of 124x52x156 mm (WxDxH) make it suitable for systems with limited space, and it supports a range of CPU socket types including Intel’s LGA 1700, LGA 1200, LGA 115x, and AMD’s AM5 and AM4. While specific availability details are not provided, the product is expected to be accessible through usual retail channels, considering the brand’s established distribution network.
