DeepCool Readying Assassin IV Premium CPU Air Cooler For Launch
DeepCool debuted its Assassin IV Dual Tower CPU cooler earlier this year at the CES 2023 trade show - as covered by TPU at the time - its very eye-catching design was described as looking: "like (a) big dark cube inside your case, with a shroud covering all its sheet-metal." The flagship high-performance CPU cooler seems to ready for an imminent launch, with press material and product images being released today for the Chinese market. Early impressions indicate that hardware enthusiasts are appreciative of the almost all-black monolithic aesthetic, with some folks predicting that DeepCool is going to win computer hardware product design awards.
DeepCool press material states (via translation) that its Assassin IV CPU cooler provides super silent operation while dealing with up to 280 W of heat - Intel's latest high-end Core i9 CPUs could be tamed with relative ease. The heatsink is comprised of 7 heat pipes with a dual fan attachment that includes 120 and 140 mm FDB fans - said to operate silently at high RPMs. The fans are rated at 500 - 1700 RPM, with an airflow delivery of 79.1 / 58.06 CFM in performance mode, and 63.76 / 46.75 CFM airflow for the gentler quiet mode. Deepcool's specifications indicate that these cooling fans produce less than or equal to 29.3 dB(A) noise at peak performance, and less than or equal to 22.6 dB(A) noise in quiet mode. The entire cooling solution consumes 2.88 W in performance mode.The overall unit dimensions are 144 x 147 x 164 mm, the heatsink (on its own) measures 140x110x160mm, and its total weight is 1.575 KG. The 140 mm and 120 mm fans can be re-positioned on the heatsink - allowing for extra clearance above RAM DIMMs and other tall attachments positioned on a motherboard. Both CPU fans are powered by a single 4-pin PWM connector.DeepCool's specification sheet states that the compatible processor socket types are: Intel - LGA1700/1200/115x & LGA20xx. AMD - AM4 & AM5.Availability and pricing for western markets are TBD.
