Quick Summary
The TR Assassin X 120R SE V2 is a CPU air cooler with four heat pipes and a 148mm overall height. It includes the TL-C12C-L V2 120mm PWM fan and fixed light colour, and it is listed for AMD AM4 and AM5, plus Intel LGA1150, LGA1151, LGA1155, LGA1156, LGA1200 and LGA1700.
Its 148mm height is a useful check for case clearance, and the heatsink fins are designed not to obstruct RAM modules.
Who It Is Best For
This cooler suits buyers who need a tower-style CPU air cooler and want to check socket support and case height before ordering. It is also relevant where RAM clearance matters, since the fins are designed not to obstruct RAM modules.

Why Buyers Choose It
- Four heat pipes provide a clearly stated cooler design for CPU cooling.
- 148mm height gives a defined clearance figure to compare with your case.
- The fins are designed not to obstruct RAM modules, which may matter in tighter builds.
- Support for several Intel and AMD sockets makes it easier to match the cooler to the correct platform.
How It Works
The cooler mounts using the SS2 install system and a metal pressure plate on the heatsink. For AMD AM4 and AM5 boards, the original motherboard built-in backplate is required for installation and is not included with this product.
Real World Use
In use, the cooler sits at 148mm high, so case space is an important check before fitting. The fan uses a 4-pin PWM connection, and the stated fan size is 120 x 120 x 25mm.
What To Know Before You Buy
Check your socket type carefully, as the cooler is listed for Intel LGA1150, LGA1151, LGA1155, LGA1156, LGA1200, LGA1700 and AMD AM4, AM5. If you are fitting it to AM4 or AM5, make sure you have the motherboard’s original built-in backplate available because it is not included. Also confirm that your case allows for 148mm cooler height.
