DeepCool Assassin IV CPU Air Cooler Dual Tower 7-Heat Pipe with 120mm & 140mm PWM Fans Black

DeepCool Assassin IV – The Ultimate Dual‑Tower Air Cooler

The DeepCool Assassin IV is a high‑performance CPU air cooler that marries advanced thermal design with sleek aesthetics. Built for both Intel and AMD platforms, it delivers uncompromising cooling while maintaining a quiet operation thanks to its dual PWM fans. Whether you’re overclocking a flagship processor or running a demanding workstation, the Assassin IV keeps temperatures in check.

Key Design Features

• Dual‑Tower Architecture: Two stacked heat sinks maximize surface area for heat dissipation.
• Seven Heat Pipes: High‑conductivity copper pipes efficiently transfer heat from the CPU to the fin stack.
• 120 mm + 140 mm FDB Fans: The front fan is a 120 mm unit, while the rear fan is a larger 140 mm. Both are PWM‑controlled for adaptive speed control.
• Black Finish: A matte black coating gives it a modern look that blends with any build.
• Compact Footprint: Dimensions of 144 mm (W) × 147 mm (D) × 164 mm (H) allow installation in mid‑size cases without obstructing other components.
• High Airflow & Static Pressure: The fan set delivers up to 79.1 cfm airflow and 2.44 mm H₂O static pressure, ideal for dense heatsink configurations.

Performance Highlights

The Assassin IV’s dual‑fan setup ensures that heat is expelled efficiently from both sides of the cooler. The 140 mm fan at the rear provides a strong airflow path, while the 120 mm front fan pulls air through the fin stack. This combination results in:

• Low CPU temperatures even under sustained load.
• Quiet operation, with PWM control keeping fan noise below 30 dB(A) at idle.
• Consistent performance across a wide range of processor TDPs, from 65 W to 140 W.

Compatibility & Mounting

The Assassin IV is engineered for universal socket support:

• Intel sockets: LGA 1700, LGA 1200, LGA 115x, LGA 2066, and older.
• AMD sockets: AM4, AM5, TR4, sTRX4, and older.

Mounting is straightforward thanks to the included backplate and mounting hardware. The cooler’s height (164 mm) fits comfortably in most mid‑tower cases, but users should verify clearance with tall RAM modules or large VRMs.

Installation Guide

1. Prepare the motherboard: Remove any existing cooler and clean the CPU socket surface with isopropyl alcohol.
2. Apply thermal paste: A pea‑size amount of high‑quality paste on the CPU die.
3. Attach the backplate: Align the backplate to the mounting holes and secure with screws.
4. Mount the cooler: Place the Assassin IV onto the socket, ensuring even pressure. Tighten screws in a cross pattern.
5. Connect fans: Plug the 120 mm fan into the CPU_FAN header and the 140 mm fan into the SYS_FAN or dedicated PWM header.
6. Cable management: Route cables neatly to maintain airflow within the case.

Thermal Performance Data

Why Choose the Assassin IV?

• Balanced Cooling & Noise: Dual fans provide a harmonious blend of airflow and quietness.
• Versatile Socket Support: One cooler fits both Intel and AMD platforms, simplifying builds.
• Robust Build Quality: Heavy‑gauge aluminum fins and durable fan blades resist wear.
• Aesthetic Appeal: Matte black finish complements modern PC designs.
• Future‑Proofing: The seven heat pipes and dual fans accommodate upcoming high‑TDP CPUs.

Conclusion

The DeepCool Assassin IV stands out as a premium choice for enthusiasts seeking reliable, low‑noise cooling without compromising on performance. Its dual‑tower design, seven heat pipes, and powerful PWM fans make it suitable for overclocking, gaming, and professional workloads alike. Whether you’re building a new system or upgrading an existing one, the Assassin IV delivers the thermal headroom you need while keeping your PC’s interior quiet and stylish.
