Thermalright Burst Assassin 120 Vision White CPU Air Cooler - Dual-Fan

In this review the Thermalright Burst Assassin 120 Vision White stands out as a mid-size tower cooler aimed at builders who want strong air cooling plus a customizable display. The single biggest reason to consider it is the combination of proven heatpipe performance and a 2.4in IPS LCD on the magnetic top cover, which lets users monitor system info or show custom visuals while keeping temperatures in check. It is a clear choice for users who value both cooling capacity and a distinctive, white aesthetic for a desktop build.

Key Features

• AGHP Technology: Six 6x6mm heatpipes use AGHP 4.0 to reduce orientation sensitivity so cooling stays consistent whether the cooler is mounted upright or in a different orientation.
• Copper Base and Heatpipes: A reflow soldered copper base with pure copper heatpipes helps the cooler sense and transfer CPU heat efficiently for modern dual-platform CPUs.
• 2.4in IPS LCD: The 320x240 resolution IPS screen on the magnetic top cover can display system data or custom graphics using the TRCC software for a personalized look.
• Dual-Fan Design: Two 120x120x25mm fans with S-FDB bearings and 4-pin PWM control provide up to 1500RPM and a balance of airflow and long bearing life for prolonged use.
• Compact Tower Height: At 156mm overall height the cooler fits a wide range of cases while preserving memory clearance due to its dual-tower layout.

Who It's For

The Burst Assassin 120 Vision White is best for desktop builders and PC enthusiasts who want reliable air cooling for mainstream to high-mid CPUs and also care about case aesthetics. It is particularly suited to users who will make use of the screen for system monitoring or custom visuals and who prefer a white-themed build.

It is less appropriate for extremely tight small-form-factor cases that cannot accept a 156mm cooler, and users who require the absolute lowest noise envelope or the very highest thermal headroom of large 140mm or multi-tower liquid solutions should look at alternative high-capacity coolers.

Pros & Cons

Pros

• Strong cooling fundamentals from AGHP 4.0 heatpipes and a reflow soldered copper base.
• Attractive all-white finish and a magnetic top cover with a 2.4in IPS display for monitoring or personalization.
• Dual S-FDB fans with PWM control offer long life and balanced airflow around 66 CFM at rated speed.
• 156mm height gives broad case compatibility without blocking tall memory modules.

Cons

• The included screen requires TRCC software via USB 9-pin plus SATA power, adding setup steps for some users.
• Noise figure around 25.6 dB(A) is reasonable but not the quietest option for ultra-silent builds.
