Thermalright Outs Assassin X 90 SE Compact Tower-type CPU Cooler

Thermalright today introduced the Assassin X 90 SE, a compact tower-type CPU cooler designed to replace the stock CPU cooling solution with something that’s quieter at stock frequencies. The aluminium fin tower-type cooler features a typical design for its kind—four 6 mm-thick nickel-plated copper heat pipes make direct contact with the CPU at an aluminium base; with their ends passing through an aluminium fin-stack that’s capped off by a die-case top-plate. This is then ventilated by an included Thermalright TL-G9B 92 mm PWM fan.

The defining feature is the cooler’s height of just 118 mm. With its fan in place, the cooler measures 94 mm x 77 mm x 118 mm, weighing 445 g. The included 92 mm fan features fluid dynamic bearing, takes in 4-pin PWM input, turns at speeds of up to 2,400 RPM, pushing up to 43 CFM of airflow at 1.51 mm H?O pressure, and has a noise output of 27.3 dBA. Among the CPU socket types supported are LGA1700, AM5, AM4, and LGA1200. The company didn’t reveal pricing.
