Description
The DeepCool ASSASSIN IV WH redefines the expectations for premium air cooling, combining a minimalist white aesthetic with sophisticated thermal engineering. As a winner of both the 2023 Red Dot and iF Design Awards, this cooler utilizes a dual-tower architecture equipped with seven high-performance heat pipes and a unique fan configuration. The shroud-like design not only provides a clean look for modern PC builds but also optimizes airflow through the fin stacks, ensuring that even the most demanding CPUs remain stable under heavy workloads.
This product is for:
- PC Builders seeking an all-white aesthetic without compromising on thermal performance for high-end gaming rigs.
- Overclockers and Power Users who require a reliable alternative to Liquid AIOs with a massive 280W TDP heat dissipation capacity.
- Content Creators who need a silent workspace, utilizing the built-in Quiet Mode to minimize acoustic output during rendering.
- Enthusiasts using high-profile RGB RAM who require a cooler with adjustable fan positioning and low-interference clearance.
- Long-term system owners looking for peace of mind provided by a comprehensive 6-year manufacturer warranty.
Detailed specifications:
- Heat Pipe Technology: 7x 6mm bidirectional heat pipes for optimized thermal transfer regardless of vertical or horizontal orientation.
- Fan Specifications: 1x 140mm and 1x 120mm FDB (Fluid Dynamic Bearing) fans with 3-phase, 6-pole motors.
- Performance Mode: 500-1700 RPM, 79.1 CFM airflow, and 2.44 mmAq static pressure.
- Quiet Mode: 500-1350 RPM, 63.76 CFM airflow, and 1.58 mmAq static pressure.
- Socket Compatibility: Intel LGA1851/1700/1200/115x and AMD AM5/AM4 platforms.
- Dimensions: 144 x 147 x 164 mm (L x W x H) with a total weight of approximately 1575g.
Operating the ASSASSIN IV WH is a tactile experience, highlighted by the physical toggle switch located on the top of the cooler that allows users to jump between 'Performance' and 'Quiet' modes instantly. The installation process is streamlined for both Intel and AMD platforms, featuring a precision-machined convex copper base that ensures maximum contact pressure with the CPU IHS. The rear 120mm fan uses a reverse-flow design to pull air through the towers efficiently, while the relocatable front fan bracket ensures that even the tallest memory modules can be accommodated without clearance issues.
Compared to traditional single-tower coolers, the ASSASSIN IV WH offers significantly more surface area for heat dissipation, rivaling the performance of many 240mm and 280mm All-In-One liquid coolers. Unlike liquid cooling solutions, it eliminates the risk of pump failure or coolant leaks, providing a more durable long-term solution. While many dual-tower coolers struggle with RAM compatibility, the ASSASSIN IV's offset design and adjustable fan height provide superior flexibility compared to competitors like the Noctua NH-D15 or Be Quiet! Dark Rock Pro series.
Q&A:
- Does the DeepCool ASSASSIN IV WH support the new Intel LGA1851 socket? Yes, it is fully compatible with the latest Intel LGA1851 and LGA1700 sockets, as well as AMD AM5.
- How do I switch between Performance and Quiet modes? There is a physical manual switch located on the top shroud of the cooler; simply slide it to your preferred setting.
- Will this cooler fit in a standard mid-tower case? With a height of 164mm, it fits in most standard mid-tower cases, but users should verify their chassis CPU cooler clearance before purchase.
- Does it interfere with high-profile RAM? No, the design features a low-interference profile, and the fan mounting system can be adjusted to provide extra clearance for tall RAM modules.
- What kind of warranty is included? The product comes with a 6-year manufacturer warranty, covering defects in materials and workmanship.
