r/Thermalright

hey guys,

i have bought a thermalright peerless assassin 120 mini black, cuz i need to swap it for my old cpu cooler (which was too weak)on my acer predator p03-650 with an i7-13700F. the issue i have is that the original backplate of the motherboard (which is LGA 1700) features these silver mounting posts. the spacers which came with the new fan, dont fit on these posts. are there any adapters for this or do i need to take the whole motherboard out and change the backplate to the one thats delivered with the fan?

i kinda hope there are adapters for this, cuz im scared to take out the entire motherboard because its a prebuilt.

This project was built purely to satisfy my OCD. I couldn’t stop noticing the gap between the two heatsink towers and the fan are un even and the messy cables visible beneath the PSU.

Will it improve cooling performance? Probably not or worse. It's purly for asthetic

The shroud was inspired by this post, but I redesigned it with new dimensions and grill to match the Peerless Assassin 140 and the Lian Li A3.

I was looking at buying a cheap wide but short screen for a small second monitior for discord, spotify. I have seen the thermalright trophy vision, its meant for displaying pc stats but does anyone know if it can be used as a regular monitor using a hdmi cable?

For some reason when I put my brightness higher than about 80% the image goes super washed out and I get ghosting of a TR logo.

Sometimes the image totally goes bonkers and I need to restart.

It looks ok at around 50% but it's a bit dark

This happen to anyone else?

Before getting this cooler I was looking up in Reddit and realised there's not many references out there. Decided to bite the bullet, and turns out this is probably one of the more underrated coolers from Thermalright.

Granted it's peak performance is probably not as good as the PA or PS, but due to it's design it allows unrestricted DRAM heights while still keeping a dual tower design. Also this allows you to run the top exhaust + intake config which is usually not recommended for small builds with a typical dual tower cooler.

The front fan by default is a slim fan but you can swap it to a standard thickness fan for bit more performance I guess.

I built LCD Fusion, an open-source Windows app for controlling AIO LCD screens.

I built this because the hardware is nice. The software side can be frustrating especially around animated backgrounds, device detection and general control of LCD Fusion.

LCD Fusion can do a lot of things.

It can send images and GIFs to the LCD Fusion.

It can show hardware sensor overlays on the LCD Fusion.

It can create custom layouts for the LCD Fusion.

It can. Load profiles for the LCD Fusion.

I tested LCD Fusion with some LCD models.

Thermalright support is currently tested for LCD models using a 1920x462 USB display protocol, for LCD Fusion.

I do not want to say that every Thermalright LCD cooler works with LCD Fusion because some models may use different displays or protocols.

Here are some things that LCD Fusion can do:

* send images and GIFs to the LCD

* show hardware sensor overlays

* create custom layouts

* save and load profiles

I am looking for Thermalright users who want to test LCD Fusion and report exactly which models work or fail with LCD Fusion.

You can find LCD Fusion on GitHub at https://github.com/itsmylife44/LcdFusion.

I also tested LCD Fusion with some LCD models.

For example I tested LCD Fusion with Valkyrie LCD AIOs that have 320x240 USB displays.

I tested LCD Fusion with these models to see if it works with types of LCD screens.

Come to find out the condensation started to peel the sticker off of the fan for my cooler

Just opened my new cooler and got weirded out by this tilt and from quick look at pics on internet I don't it's supposed to look like this

Should i be worried and return it or just use it?
