Air Cooler – DeepCool

This was the toughest call of the whole year, as the air cooling market has had some seriously strong products this year, with many of them beating the long-standing Noctua champions in terms of prices, cooling performance and acoustics. However, there’s one that did all of that, but also delivered a truly next-gen aesthetic, and that’s the DeepCool Assassin IV. If I am to buy an air cooler right now, it’ll be this. It looks amazing, runs quiet, gives great cooling performance even on high-end CPUs and honestly, this is the one everyone else has to beat in 2024. Check out our review here.

• Beauty In Simplicity – The elegant design of the ASSASSIN IV is not just visually pleasing; it also leads to optimal airflow and maximum compatibility.
• In Quiet Or Performance Mode – The ASSASSIN IV is the obvious choice With a simple slide of a switch, the ASSASSIN IV can morph from a whisper-quiet cooler when low noise is of the utmost importance to the efficient cooling force DeepCool air coolers are known for.
• Let It Shine! – The ASSASSIN IV’s case is clean, sleek, and helps channel air through the fin towers, while the relocatable 120mm fan provides unobstructed clearance for high-profile RGB RAM.
• Be Cool, Be Calm – A key factor in the ASSASSIN IV’s extremely silent operation is the use of three-phase, six-pole fan motors with low voltage and power consumption. DeepCool is so confident in our new design that the ASSASSIN IV comes with 6 years of limited warranty coverage!
• Exceptional By Design – Featuring seven heat pipes that deliver improved heat transfer through two fin-array heat sink towers for high-performance efficiency. The included DM9 thermal paste meets the rigorous standards used in industrial applications.
