Introduction

A big thank you to DeepCool for supplying the review sample.

DeepCool is a juggernaut in the PC space, both as both a brand and OEM. Formed in 1996, the company has grown greatly, with their well-regarded products available just about everywhere except perhaps Antarctica. Offering well-regarded cases, power supplies, heatsinks, fans, all-in-one liquid coolers, and more, it is no surprise they have become an enthusiast favorite in the PC Gaming market.


In today's review, I look at the DeepCool Assassin IV. While it remains a dual-tower cooler in regards to design, DeepCool opted to make the unit as visually appealing as possible, thus the more industrial look of its predecessor is out, and a newer, sleeker design is now in. Direct cooling is comprised of two fans, a 120 mm, and a 140 mm; however, rather than the traditional layout DeepCool has opted to use a center and exhaust fan, which results in perfect memory clearance on mainstream sockets. Which is quite the feat considering its massive size, seven heatpipes, and 1575 g weight. Suffice it to say, the Assassin IV looks like a contender for the top air cooler, but before we get into that, let's take a closer look!
