Since its founding in 2001, Thermalright has risen to the forefront as a premier provider of computer cooling solutions. Over the span of two decades, they have not only established industry standards but also introduced numerous successful product lines. This unwavering commitment has positioned the company as a leader, continually raising the bar for others to follow. With a steadfast focus on delivering both quality and performance, it’s no wonder they have earned a reputation for excellence, leading to Thermalright’s ascension as a go-to choice for PC enthusiasts worldwide.
In today’s review, I look at Thermalright’s new Phantom Spirit 120 EVO. While a continuation of a previous design, it has seen some upgrades. Namely, the new TL-K12 fans which offer a different ARGB lighting design along with a higher static pressure and greater airflow compared to the previous offerings. Factor that in along with the seven heat pipes feeding dual fin stacks, and you have a recipe for exceptional performance. However, before I gush over the absolute thrashing it gave the competition, let’s take a closer look at the cooler itself.
