Fazit

The Thermalright Peerless Assassin 120 SE is the recommendation for almost everyone - it delivers around 90% of the NH-D15's performance at roughly a third of the price. Buy the Noctua NH-D15 only if you want the last degree of cooling, the quietest fans, and a six-year warranty, and your case can clear its 165mm height.
