DeepCool Assassin IV CPU Cooler Review

A Closer Look

The cooler looks absolutely fantastic, with a black heatsink and gunmetal grey enclosure looking very slick indeed. The heatsinks are a twin tower design, with a unique stepped layer design that looks like offset squares.

On the top, there’s a black mesh section breaking up the grey. However, this is actually a magnetic removable panel, more on that in a moment though.

No need for a fan controller when you have a hardware-level switch right on the cooler; this is really a cool idea, I love it.

A small DeepCool logo on the side; very minimalist.

The cooler is very heavy on one side, so it topples over easily on my desk (it’s propped up with a screwdriver in the other pictures). The offset weight is by design, as it means less of the cooler is on the RAM side, and shouldn’t hurt compatibility.

the rear fan is a 120mm design in this impressive-looking cube mesh shroud with an extremely close axial trim. The fan blades are impressive too, with wide overlapping fins that have surprisingly large surface area given the size of the fan.

On the bottom of the cooler, there’s a 52x42mm contact plate with a nicely polished surface. As you can see, the heatpipe configuration is no joke, with seven thick heat pipes running in a U-shape through both of the cooling towers and into the contact plate. Furthermore, they’re stepped, with one going in front then behind the one next to it so they more evenly distribute heat through the cooling towers.

The cooler looks pretty monolithic though, and I love that it’s minimalist to look at, but there’s enough detail and things going on to keep it looking interesting too.

It’s all pre-wired too, so just one cable to hook up to the motherboard. There’s no RGB either, so that’s one less thing to deal with.
