so it's finally time to take a look at the deep cool assassin - this is a massive air cooler ladies and gentleman welcome back to check yes city this is brian coming to you guys today with not just any cpu cooler review this is the flagship air cooler from deep cool which is just massive we're talking like one point three kilograms massive so first of all we'll take a look at what's in the box and we'll take a look at the features of this cooler and then I'll run some temperature tests for you guys to tell you how good the unit is so as soon as you open the box you'll notice that this unit comes packaged very well you get two fans pre attached to the unit and one being a 140 millimeter fan the other being a 120 millimeter fan now they are both PWM controlled fans and they also come in this rubberized material that means you don't need brackets to attach them to the heatsink so you can use them in other applications if you wish they're also themed red and black also included is the mounting kit which will allow you to mount this CPU cool arm pretty much every socket dating way back to LGA 775 you've also got the game of stormed fan header hub there as well which will allow you to get more connections out of one four pin or three pin CPU fan header now the unit itself is made of aluminium you've also got eight heat pipes there which split into sixteen extensions over two different towers now the base of the unit is a mirror finish you've also got the dimensions of the base there now the dimensions I measured for the whole unit came in at 153 millimeters by a hundred and forty millimeters by a hundred and sixty-four millimeters tall and the weight came in at precisely one point to 75 kilograms with the fans attached this is just for the unit itself now with the fans themselves they come with braided cabling as well as the gameís storm fan hub as well and the fans I measured them spinning down to 300 rpm which at least speeds I could not hear them and moving up all the way to 14 11 rpm they were pretty quiet still so I'll just give you guys a noise test for yourselves and you can hear how the Deadpool assassin sounds okay so we're just going to do a noise test now for the assassin - and I'm sitting probably about an arm's length away very indicative of real-world scenario so let's just take a moment to listen to the noise so now we'll go right up to the cooler and see if you guys can hear the noise now what about the performance this is the big part you guys have all been waiting for and I'm pleased to say that this unit did perform really well in my Haswell 5820k out of 4.3 gigahertz overclock at one point to five volt which is pretty much the max stable for comparing all the different colors even though this could go up to 4.4 gigahertz I had to measure it against other coolers so we can see here that it got a max temperature of 76 degrees in a 22 degree cooled ambient room condition these were consistent across all the benchmarks so it did score very well here and even at those speeds it was pretty quiet as well now the interesting thing and here is is that when I measured the surface temperatures with an IR gun you can see that this thing is barely getting hot at all so it's doing a great job of cooling not only 5820k but now we'll move over to the fourth I mean the 6600 K where you can see here that again it just performed really well I think the max temperature I scored here was 61 degrees now that's amazing for a 4.6 gigahertz overclock of 1.35 volt on the skylake architecture you see there beat out the other two air coolers however it just lost slightly to the captain 240 which is the all-in-one solution so now it's time for me to give you guys my thoughts and opinions and close off with a score and honestly when I picked up this cooler I was just impressed with pretty much everything the build quality is great the installation is a breeze even though it's tedious due to the actual size of the cooler everything made sense the instruction manual was very well laid out and I'm gonna give kudos to deep cooled air because I've tried different coolers in the past and the instruction manuals have just been confusing this on the other hand you'll have no problems installing it though one thing I will mention on my 5820k system is that the cooler just barely cleared the graphics card so my 6600 K in the background here it's not a problem but it was just barely clearing that clearing that so another good thing about this unit is the fans they're quiet they're well-constructed you can also pull the blade off from the module to clean it if need be so now this leaves me with my final score of four and a half out of five I wanted to give this five stars however I did have some trouble when I was mounting this in my sky leg rig I actually had to get a bracket and bend it a little bit with a pair of pliers so some people may come into problems with installation in sky leg rigs that's something to be careful though everything else aside this unit is absolutely amazing the build quality is great deep cool have thought of pretty much everything that the end user may run into great well laid out instruction manual very easy to install comes with good thermal paste to boot and you can also get this unit for eighty dollars so at least when I checked on the internet for that price it's really good considering the capabilities of this cooler it's a one-point three kg cooler with two fans included so I'm very impressed with what deep cool have done here and I can highly recommend this unit especially for high end systems like your enthusiast line 5820k s or it's just 6700 k's if you just want a massive air cooler to show off but it'll do a great job of any scenario just make sure you have the brew to fit it in there so yeah guys that's about it for me today if you like this video please give it a big thumbs up if you have any questions or comments about the deep cool assassin -
