DeepCool Assassin IV

Dual-Towerkühler sehen oft zerklüftet aus - doch nicht so DeepCools Assassin IV. Dieses Modell wirkt optisch wie ein schwarzer Würfel, bei dem die Lüfter integriert werden. Und auch mit Blick auf den Aufbau gibt es Besonderheiten. Doch sorgen die dafür, dass der Assassin IV die Konkurrenz aussticht?

High-End Luftkühler von DeepCool! Aus dem aktuellen DeepCool Produktportfolio testen wir heute den neuen Premium Luftkühler Assassin IV für die aktuellen Intel und AMD Sockel, welcher der direkte Nachfolger des bereits sehr erfolgreichen Assassin III ist. Der Assassin IV soll beste Kühlleistung, geringe Geräuschentwicklung und elegantes Design zu einem vernünftigen Preis in sich vereinen. Was der Luftkühler zu leisten vermag und welche Highlights er noch bereithält, verrät unser folgender Testbericht hier auf OCinside.de!

Es ist schon eine ganze Weile her, dass Deepcool ihrem Flaggschiff-Luftkühler in der dritten Version herausgebracht hat. Allerhöchste Zeit also, da mal wieder etwas nachzulegen. Auf Ausstellungen konnte man ihn schon bewundern, jetzt geht es aber ans Eingemachte und auf meine Testbench. Kann man mit Version 4 wieder ganz vorne mitspielen?

High-end air cooler from DeepCool! Today we are testing the new premium air cooler Assassin IV from the current DeepCool product portfolio for the latest Intel and AMD sockets, which is the direct successor to the already very successful Assassin III. The Assassin IV is supposed to combine the best cooling performance, low noise development and elegant design at a reasonable price. Our following review here on OCinside.de reveals what the air cooler is capable of and what other highlights it has to offer!

It has been quite a while since Deepcool released the third version of its flagship air cooler. So it’s high time to add something to it. You could already admire it at exhibitions, but now it’s time for the real thing and my testbench. Is it possible to play at the top again with version 4?

DeepCool have sent us some of their latest heatsinks to test, and one of them is very impressive.

The DeepCool Assassin has long been one of the best CPU cooler series on the market, offering some fierce competition against the likes of big names like Cooler Master, Corsair, be quiet!, Antec and even Noctua. Their build quality, performance and aesthetics have always been great, and they’re usually competitive on price too. So, with all that in mind, the long-awaited Assassin IV is here at last, and I honestly cannot wait to see what this one is capable of!

DeepCool's Assassin IV is a truly stellar air cooler that firmly cements itself as one of the best options available at the time of writing. While it isn't a massive upgrade over the Assassin III, it is better looking than its predecessor while performing similarly. More affordable than the Noctua NH-D15 and NH-D15S. All while delivering similar or, in some cases, better performance than both in the OC tests at the same noise level. If noise is not a concern, the Assassin IV easily pulls away with the victory. Also worth noting is setting the built-in fan controller to the low noise option, which equals the 45 dBA noise normalized tests that were run. This means if noise is a concern, then the noise-normalized charts show the exact performance that fan setting provides. Regardless of the test bench or individual test that was run, the DeepCool offering overall really is the complete package, at least as far as out-of-the-box air coolers go.
