Thermalright might not be the most predominant name in PC cooling, but the company has been making cooling solutions since 2001. Today, the company revealed the Peerless Assassin 120 Black , which is a new dual-tower CPU cooler that's just 157 mm tall. Of course, that's not super-compact, but using only 120mm fans, it's a lot smaller than something like Noctua's NH-D15 , a cooler that pretty much sets the benchmark in the category but is rather sizeable in pulling off that achievement. So while you won't get the same cooling performance, you'll still get pretty close with two cooling towers and 120mm fans. The assembly measures 125 mm wide, 135 mm long and is 157 mm tall, featuring six, 6 mm heatpipes to bring heat to the 53-fins on each fin stack. The base is made from nickel-plated copper, and the cooler weighs a total of 750 grams.

I’ve used the iPhone 12 Pro since it launched, and the OnePlus 9 Pro for about four weeks total now. What has struck me most throughout the time with the OnePlus 9 Pro is how closely it resembles the iPhone in the way it performs and operates. Not in an eye-rolling, blatant facsimile way, but in a less obvious way. OnePlus has taken aboard many of the core reasons the iPhone is so popular and incorporated them into its best Android phone yet. The build Design is subjective, so we won’t go too deeply into that. What about how the two phones compare in build quality, comfort, and … [Read more...] about The OnePlus 9 Pro and iPhone 12 Pro are strikingly similar, but in a good way
