Design and Aesthetics:

The Phantom Spirit 120 is a step up from the no frills clean look of the Phantom Spirit 120 SE and has two 120 millimeter fans, subtle Thermalright logo, and a flat textured design on the heatsink top. Other than the fine details. Additionally, this cooler look is also in line with other coolers from Thermalright with slight tweaks to the cooling engineering the primary differentiating factor.

Install Notes:

This cooler has a similar installation components as many of the mainstream Thermalright designs, which is one of the easier installation setups. However, it also faces an issue regarding uninstalling this cooler, where the cooler is unable to slide/twist off the cooler to break the thermal paste seal. This might be necessary if the thermal paste has a strong hold between the cooler and the CPU.

Cooling Performance:

The Phantom Spirit 120 presents a high-performance cooling solution in a compact form, competing with other premium coolers in the market. Its seven heat pipe dual tower setup, combined with two 120mm fans, makes it highly capable of handling the cooling demands of modern high-performance CPUs, positioning it as a top contender for effective cooling.

Noise Performance:

The Phantom Spirit 120 stands out for its exceptional cooling efficiency at a low noise level, making it an ideal option for those seeking a quiet setup while accommodating high-performance components.

Summary:

The Phantom Spirit 120 cooler is easy to install, much like other Thermalright models. It's an upgrade from the 120 SE, featuring a neat textured design, two 120mm fans, and a subtle logo, staying true to Thermalright's style with a few improvements. This compact cooler delivers high-performance cooling with a seven heat pipe, dual tower setup, and it's pretty quiet too. It's a great choice for keeping high-end setups cool with minimal sound.
