Key Takeaways
- New dual-tower CPU cooler with an integrated 5-inch true-color LCD display.
- Features two 120 mm TL-K12 fans with fluid dynamic bearings, capable of up to 2150 RPM.
- Available in black and white color trims.

Enhanced Cooling Performance
The Peerless Assassin 120 Vision Max builds upon the successful dual fin-stack design of its predecessors. It incorporates a C1100 nickel-plated copper base, from which six 6 mm heat pipes efficiently transfer heat to two aluminum fin stacks. The cooler comes equipped with two Thermalright TL-K12 fans. One fan is positioned to push air into the first fin stack, while the second fan, situated between the two stacks, directs air onto the rear stack, optimizing airflow and heat dissipation.
Integrated LCD Display
A standout feature of the Vision Max is its 5-inch true-color display, boasting a resolution of 480 x 854 pixels. This screen is seamlessly integrated into the top plate, spanning both fin stacks and the space between them. It connects to the motherboard through a standard 9-pin USB 2.0 header, allowing for extensive customization. Users can program the display to show a variety of information, including real-time system monitoring data, making it a functional as well as a visually appealing addition to a PC build.
Fan Specifications and Design
Each of the two included TL-K12 fans utilizes fluid dynamic bearings for longevity and quiet operation. These fans support 4-pin PWM control, enabling precise speed adjustments. They can reach rotational speeds of up to 2150 RPM, delivering up to 69 CFM of airflow and 2.87 mm H₂O of static pressure, all while maintaining a maximum noise level of 27 dBA. The cooler measures 135 mm x 125 mm x 164 mm (Depth x Width x Height) with both fans installed. The Peerless Assassin 120 Vision Max is offered in both black and white color options to complement various system aesthetics.
