Direct-contact air cooler for compact builds

The NZXT T120 is a single-tower air cooler that mounts its conductive copper pipes directly onto the processor. It fits AMD AM4, AM3+, AM3 and Intel LGA 1700 and 1851 sockets. The 120 mm fan uses fluid-dynamic bearings and runs without LED lighting. A sleek aluminium cover hides the heat pipes for a clean black finish.

159 mm height leaves headroom for most mid-tower

At 159 mm tall the cooler clears standard side panels while still presenting a large fin stack to the airflow. The vertical fan mounting lets you clip on a second 120 mm fan for push-pull operation when thermal loads climb higher. Without that second fan the single unit handles typical gaming and productivity workloads; sustained heavy all-core loads will eventually saturate the single-fan capacity.

Ships with full AMD and Intel mounting hardware

Everything needed for the listed sockets is in the box, including a tool-free clip bracket that makes adding the optional second fan quick. The compact footprint avoids blocking tall memory modules or the first PCIe slot on most boards. Builders who need more cooling surface than a single 120 mm tower can provide should look at larger dual-tower or liquid solutions.

Questions about this item

Will the 159 mm height fit inside my existing case alongside my current motherboard?

The cooler stands 159 mm tall, so measure the clearance from your motherboard to the side panel before installing.

How can I verify the Fluid Dynamic Bearing fan is running correctly after mounting?

Listen for smooth, quiet rotation and check the motherboard fan-speed readout in BIOS or monitoring software to confirm RPM changes with load.

Does the box include mounting hardware for both LGA 1700 and AM4 sockets, or must I buy a separate bracket?

All required mounting hardware for Intel LGA 1700, LGA 1851 and AMD AM4 is included, plus a clip-on bracket for adding a second 120 mm fan.
