I'm aiming to refresh my PC with an AM5 setup, which means I need a new motherboard and the ASUS ROG Strix B650E-F Gaming WiFi AMD B650. If you think it's a bit too much, let me know but it looks like a reasonable price. Meanwhile, I was thinking about getting a Ryzen 7 7700X and have heard great things about the Thermalright Peerless Assassin 120 SE CPU cooler. I'm not sure if it will fit, though, and I couldn't find any measurements online. Any suggestions on whether it could work or not? Hope you have a nice week!

Check if the cooler matches the socket on the motherboard. See if it fits inside your case. Make sure it won’t clash with a large GPU. You’ll need to research these details.

I've tested this motherboard with the cooler, and it works as expected. Just verify the case size and RAM space. Let me know your case and RAM details if you'd like a review.

I tried one and it works perfectly with the socket. It supports medium RAM but might not fit the tallest models. GPU usually doesn’t cause problems since they all mount in the same spot—unless you install them vertically. The main concern is ensuring enough space around the cooler, as it’s quite large. A case wider than 20cm should still be fine.

Intended to expand on this but ended up missing key points. Focusing on GSKill Flare X5 and a NZXT H510 setup. Apologies for the confusion earlier.

The NZXT H510 features a CPU cooler that fits within 165mm, and the Peerlees Assassin SE120 stands at 155mm. This provides ample space despite the compact design. The G.SKILL Flare X5 DDR5 measures just 33mm in height, and the PA-SE120 offers a RAM clearance of 42mm when the front fan is in place. There should be no problems with the fan obstructing the cooler’s front. Everything looks good to proceed.
