I just do not see them !!!Comment

The temperature is afraid to rise in the presence of this cooler and trembles from its most powerful two screws, which simply frow to frost the fervor of unrelated processors in acceleration !!! To honestly did not expect such an effect from the air, but this device convinced me in the opposite. I did not compare with the water, but I think with this mutant even a water would be hard to compete. It's just a beast !!!

Eight heat pipes from copper. Two fans (140 + 120mm), with the possibility of additional appendage. Fans are removed for cleaning a pair of movements. After installation, there is a lot of space on the sides.disadvantages

Very unreparable weight, which is approaching 1.5 kilograms.Comment

Of course, due to frankly unslab weight, this cooler is not at all motherboards, but hardly someone will put such a miracle on a simple office motherboard, it is rather for the purely gamers' motherboard) fans grow quietly, it is possible to replace them with others, But personally, I do not have any desire to do such a modiform when and so everything works gorgeous.

I bought the other day of this device for my old man 4790k overclocked to 4.5. Temperatures fell 15 degrees in a simple and 20-25 degrees in the load on all nuclei. Looks great in the housing. Not heavy, as it may seem for the first time. Before that, there was another DeepCool, the percent was heated in PUBG in 4K resolution up to 90 degrees and above and began to trollen. In general, I recommend. One of the best air on the market.

I ordered the latter to myself, and it was still slightly and dispersed. And as a result, he received unstable PC. All due to insufficient cooling. I had to order a new one. The cooler chose DeepCool. I liked according to the characteristics and on appearance. The problem with the temperature at the CPU was solved.

Operating system: Windows 10 x64.

Testing of supercouples was carried out in several stages. I took the most hot to date the Intel Core i7-5960x processor, the TDP level of which, according to official data, is 140 W. The nominal clock frequency "Stone" is 3.3 GHz, but in tURBO mode Boost It permanently increases to 3.5 GHz. I recorded an indicator at a rate of 3.5 GHz so that testing is more relevant. All coolers were tested in three modes: when minimum frequency revolutions per minute of fan / fans, average frequency and maximum speed of impeller rotation. The second stage is acceleration. The frequency of the processor was increased to 4 GHz. To do this, I had to increase the supply voltage from 1 to 1.2 V. This is such an unsuccessful chip from me. There are copies that can be chased at a voltage of 1.1-1.2 to 4.2-4.3 GHz. In any case, in this mode of working Core i7-5960x will be a very serious test for any existing system cooling. When overclocked, the coolers worked in automatic mode. Loaded the processor program LINX 0.6.5 - the most resource-intensive application today. In 99% of cases at home, the system will not work in such conditions. For each mode, 15 minutes was set. The temperature of the room at the time of testing was 25 degrees Celsius.

For each cooler, a thermal paste was used, which is included with the device.

The noise level was measured at a distance of one meter from the test bench. The system used a power supply and a video card operating in passive mode. The minimum level of noise indoors is 36 dB.

Let's start with temperatures. First, I propose to get acquainted with the final table. All models show the same trend. Namely, there is a noticeable difference in cooling efficiency at minimal and average frequencies of fan rotation. Apparently, in the very gentle mode, air ledgers lack efficiency to completely "pump" a dimensional double-born radiator. Especially strongly gap is noticeable at Cryorig R1 Ultimate and Deepcool Assassin II. In the first case, the difference between the hottest nuclei was 13 degrees Celsius, in the second - 9 degrees Celsius. At the same time, with the average and maximum frequencies of rotation of the impeller, the temperature drop is less noticeable. In this regard, the most passive was the cooler Thermalright. Changing the speed of rotation of fans from 1000 rpm to 2500 rpm made it possible to "remove" from the processor of only 4 degrees Celsius. As you understand perfectly, the noise has increased markedly.

Company Deepcool.no doubt is one of the leaders in the development and production of cooling air systems for personal computers. Much popularity and distribution among users products of this manufacturer were obtained mainly due to low cost. And like any self-respecting company, DeepCool must have its own top product. Designed to appear on the cooling air systems as a super cooler fighting with advanced solutions competing manufacturers. I became Deepcool Assassin.related to the Gamerstorm line.

Packaging and equipment

Comes "hired killer" in a large black cardboard box. Packaging design is not characteristic of DeepCool products

The game of white and green decorations on a black background is well chosen, which gives the product a kind of charisma

The back of the packaging of the radiator specification, fans, as well as a list of supported platforms. By the way, deliver DeepCool Assassin can be on any of the modern AMD or Intel platforms. A large compatibility of the cooler is obliged to a set of branded fasteners coming in the kit.

The weight of the cooler together with the package is without a small 1.5kg, so the manufacturer has provided a plastic handle on top of the box to transport such a purchase. Country Country Couple - China.

The package includes a radiator, two fans 120mm and 140mm, user manual, fixtures and accessories.

Among other accessories there is a thermal paste of an unknown manufacturer, a plastic Gamerstorm line logo and adapters for connecting fans. Moreover, one adapter allows you to connect both fans to one 4pin connector on the motherboard, and the second will enable the fans connecting to the Molex connector C voltage 7B.

Design features

As practice shows, a tower design with two sections of radiators are now - half the success of the cooling air system. I did not experiment in DeepCool, building your super cooler for the already proven majority of the path manufacturers. DeepCool Assassin Wavy radiator weighs 1070 grams.

Two sections of the radiator are combined with each other by eight nickel-plated heat pipes, each 6mm diameter that passes through the base of the heat supply. In terms of sizes, the cooler is not in fact, it seems so much, its dimensions together with fans are 160x144x154mm.

Each radiator section has 49 aluminum plates, which are crimped on heat pipes. The plates are sitting on heat pipes tightly and smoothly, despite the fact that the soldering plates are not used in places of connection plates to thermal tubes.

The intercostal distance of the plates is 2mm, which is the most optimal value for constructing an effectively cooling radiator.

Both sections of the radiator in the amount contain 98 plates with a thickness of 0.5mm. The processing of sharp faces of the plates is not necessary to call, so it is very difficult to cut them down.

The total area of \u200b\u200bthe "hired killer" radiator is 12100cm 2. Between the two sections of the radiator, the fitting of the fan of the size of 140x140x25mm is provided. The distance between the radiators sections is 28mm.

Eight thermal tubes are located sequentially along the length of the radiators section, at a distance of 12 mm from each other. The inner walls of the radiators sections have characteristic triangular vertical grooves to optimize the air flow.

The outer walls of the radiator have pyramido-shaped design, to give a radiator more attractive appearance.

The base of the heat supply is protected by a transparent plastic lid.

Eight nickel-plated tubes allow for testing to hope for success in the efficiency of the cooling system.

The base of the heat supply consists of two nickel-plates of copper plates, between which heat pipes are clamped by crimping. At the outlet of the heat pipes from the base of the soldering is missing.

The quality of nickel-plated base treatment is not enough good enough, it is amazing. The dimensions of the contact pad are 60x45mm, which will be enough not only for aMD processorsBut for Intel processors performed by LGA1366 and LGA2011.

It is impossible to make serious complaints about surface flatness. If, in the length of the contact site, you can observe the barely noticeable bulge, then the width can be seen perfectly smooth surface. The quality of the base treatment and its smooth surface also allow you to hope for good heat transfer, and consequently on efficient cooling.

The active cooling of the DeepCool Assassin radiator is engaged in two fans UF140 and UF120, sizes 140mm and 120mm, respectively. A distinctive feature of these complete fans is the green color of the impeller. For those whom "greens" is not to taste, the manufacturer offers the same coolers, only in the blue color. The fan has an anti-vibration coating to reduce noise. The UF140 fan has an attachment of the size of 120x120mm, which allows you to complete DeepCool Assassin brackets for complete fans of the same size. 140mm The turntable has PWM control that allows the fan to operate in the range from 700 to 1400 rpm. The air flow created at the same time is 80.28CFM, and the noise level is 18.2-32dba. The younger 120mm fan is only content with a 3Pin connection connector, and, therefore, works in a fixed mode of 1200 rpm. The air flow of this turntable 52,35cfm, which is produced with noise 23,2dba. Both fans are based on hydraulic width.

Relief notches on each of the blades of fans are recognized to create visual effect During the rotation of the impeller of the fan.

General view of DeepCool Assassin with installed fans UF140 and UF120. Fits fans to the cooling system radiator with wire brackets. In our case, we decided to install a 140mm fan exactly outside, as this gives a cooling system a more spectacular appearance. The whole design assembly has a total weight of 1378 grams. Recall that the THERMALTAKE SILVER arrow SB-E EXTREME considered by us together with the fans has a mass of only 1100 grams.

Installation

Considering the procedure for installing the DeepCool Assassin cooler, we use the maternal test components as subjects gigabyte fee Z77-d3h socket 1155, processor Intel Core I7-3770K and modules random access memory HYNIX DDR3-1333 4GB in the amount of 4 pcs. The installation is standard for cooling systems of such a "caliber", but so that you do not have any problems, we will describe the process. Forward, open the contact pad and remove the protective plastic plug from there.

Then we install the processor into the connector, in our case it is i7-3770k, which is already for a long time permanent component of our test system. It is also necessary to apply to the processor the thermal column. In its tests, our edition of the i2hard uses the GC-EXTREME thermal interface from Gelid.

The next stage is the preparation of the bochplate (metal plate) to install it on motherboard.

On the bochplate there are marked the roman numbers of the corresponding holes of the holes, and in the middle of the plate itself there is a decoding. In our case, these are holes with a number II.

We insert the threaded bolts into these holes and fix them with special rubber inserts, which are included in the kit.

Then set the plate on the motherboard.

Dress up on protruding from the motherboard bolts black plastic washers.

We set two metal plates on top of them.

Then fix them with four nuts. All, fasteners ready. Then it remains only to put the cooler and fix it with a clamping plate with two bolts.

Exterior on the motherboard

DeepCool Assassin cooler, installed on the motherboard, looks very massively and the dimensions overlaps all four connectors for RAM. But do not hurry to upset. After all, the huge plus fans attachment, the fixation of which on the radiator is made using metal brackets just that these fans in height can be slightly lifted, about 10-12mm.

It is clearly visible in the photo below. With the maximum lifting of the fan installed on the outside, the memory modules feel quite freely, and there is even some margin of free space over them. Therefore, when buying DeepCool Assassin, you can not be afraid of incompatibility with RAM modules. An exception should be considered only memory modules with high radiators.

In our case, when lifting the fan to the limit, the inclusted space lost blowing. Therefore, we lowered a slightly cooler back so that he rests on in memory modules. This made it possible to send a portion of the air flow to blowing the near-sacket space.

Of course, that such a super cooler, as Deepcool Assassin in rivals, applies to take the same "caliber". For comparison was taken THERMALRIGHT SILVER arrow SB-E ExtremeThe rest of the configuration of our test stand has not undergone significant changes, and only the INNO3D GeForce GTX 650 TI video card changed its older sister inno3d GeForce GTX 650 Ti Boost. Test processor Intel Core i7-3770K, with which the cooler was tested, worked as the nominal mode of operation and acceleration to 4.5GHz. The voltage on the processor in acceleration was exhibited by bIOS settings and amounted to 1.224V, and the temperature indoors is 26 degrees Celsius. The processor load was carried out by the Prime 95 utility, monitoring temperature and revolutions of fans by RealTemp and Speedfan programs, respectively.

Test results:When the processor is running at the nominal frequency, both coolers hold the temperature within a reasonable framework even with full load. But more famous Thermalright Silver Arrow SB-E Extreme makes it 4 degrees more efficient than DeepCool Assassin.

The processor acceleration up to 4.5GHz demanded an increase in nutrition, and, therefore, increased and heating the CPU. In this mode, Deepcool Assassin gives his position a little more. The difference between him and Thermalright Silver Arrow SB-E Extreme 6 degrees Celsius in the load. It is worth saying that taking into account the hot temper of Intel Core i7 processors at the Ivy Bridge core, and here both coolers show quite good results.

Conclusion

Deepcool Assassin. - The cooler is really good from all sides. Of course, this is not a product-killer of top cooling systems of other manufacturers. "Assassina" for this very little lack of cooling efficiency. A plus Deepcool Assassin. in its cost. At an average market price at 2300 rubles, this cooler not only exceeds similar solutions to other companies, but becomes an attractive object for buying economical overclockers and simply by ordinary users. Pros:

massive two-section radiator with a large heat transfer area;
good cooling efficiency;
comfortable mount;
excellent base treatment;
the ability to install a third fan;
flexible compatibility with RAM modules.

Minuses:

small size of a complete second fan;
thermopaste of an unknown manufacturer.

Weighing everything and against, our edition gives a cooler Deepcool Assassin. High Award I2hard - Gold.

Each person who has a PC with powerful processormust be responsible to refer to its cooling. Otherwise, overheating and the following "trottling" are simply inevitable. Not to mention the possible way out of order.

Deepcool Assassin II is one of the most successful solutions available on the market.

A large amount of copper tubes contributes to an effective heat removal, and the PVM allows the user to adjust the speed of rotation of the fans at its discretion.

At the same time, the cooler works quite quiet even at maximum turnover.

The following processors are supported: LGA2011-V3 / 2011/1366 / 1156 / 1155/1150 / 775 / FM2 + / FM2 / FM1 / AM3 + / AM3 / AM2 + / AM2.

Sundukov, Kotelniki

Term of use 6 months

1 - two fans, 120 and 140 millimeters.
2 - bright memorable decoration of the cooler. Including the painting of turntables and the unusual forms of the radiator, its separation into two parts.
3 - cooling. The motion with the old cooler was grainbed to 80 or more degrees. After installing the cooler, the heating diplot fell to 50-51 degrees.

Expensive.

It is suitable for any systemmers and any pros. It is absolutely sure that it cope with cooling by 100%. In any situations. The percent is far from the last in the list of powerful game solutions. Not heats up.

Ilya, Moscow

Intuitive installation. Normal turntables at 120 and 140 millimeters. Low cost, there is a hub for fans included. Cool Packaging and Normal Delivery Set, it is immediately clear that I bought a normal thing and not just some cheap. You can additionally install the third fan. Cool heat removal in any circumstances, the complete absence of technical problems and at least some plan, as well as foreign sounds.

On this occasion, I still seem to be written.

Updated to this cooling and just glad - the processor always keeps normal temperatures, and there is nothing more to say.

Friends today I will tell you about pretty interesting supercouper Deepcool.. Although this is not a novelty, but the model has not lost its relevance to this day. It is possible that someone has not heard about him and the material for it will be useful.

Released in 2015, Assassin II. He became one of the best among the tower supercouples, showing a worthy result in terms of cooling efficiency, which has not been proven not once. It is important here and the question of the price - DeepCool was able to establish an acceptable price tag for many, which allowed to compete with such giants as Noctua and thermalright with their NH D14-D15 and a "silver arrow."

This model has a huge potential and its place is clearly not in the average configuration, but in a PC computer guy, which is not familiar with such an option as "CPU overclocking". In general, let's see how good the "killer" from Deepcool and is it right worth his money?

Packaging and equipment

Assassin II comes in a black box of black. On the edges there is a description of the main features of the cooler, and also listed its TX.

The set of delivery consists of: a two-section radiator, two fans, documentation, a set of fixtures for installing a cooler on aMD platforms and Intel, corporate icon, tube with thermal and hub, which is used to connect multiple fans to one channel.

Appearance and features

The design assembly looks very massively, and her weight is considerable, almost 1.5 kg. Fans are attached to the radiator using metal brackets. Simple and convenient solution. The appearance is generally a pretty, combination of silver shiny surfaces with black and red looks profitable.

As you already, probably noticed, the fans have a different sizzy from each other. One of them enclosed in a standard square frame has a size of 120 x 120 mm, and the second is 140 x 140 mm. Both fans belong to the GF line. The fan frame of this line has a TPE material coating. And again in action the possibility of modern polymer chemistry. The material has a number of properties that help maximize the vibration created by the fan. It is also worth noting the elasticity of the material, the usual "oak" plastic is very easy to break, for example, having threw the fastening, in the case of these fans, such an annoying situation is excluded. The second feature is grooves on the blades that optimize airflow created by fans. The third is a collapsible design that allows you to easily clean the blades, for example, from dust. Well, it becomes much easier to get to the "internships", which will make it easier to lubricate the mechanism. The mechanism itself is due to such a design, in addition to being protected from the effects of dust and moisture outside, has reverse protection against leakage of lubricant material. Both fans have a 4-pin connector, which means that both fans with PWM adjustment. The rotational speed of the impeller 120 mm of the fan varies in the range of 300 ± 150 ~ 1400 ± 10% rpm, in 140 mm of the fan, the indicators differ slightly and are 300 ± 150 ~ 1200 ± 10% rpm. In both cases, the maximum noise level does not exceed 27.3 dB (according to the manufacturer), which cannot but rejoice.

Now carefully consider the radiator. 8 copper heat pipes with nickel-plated coating, which is riveted in total 96 aluminum plates (48 on each section). The distance between the plates is ~ 2 mm. It is worth noting that the plates are in contact with the tubes without the participation of the soldering, as is done, for example, in Noctua NH-D15. For lovers of RAM Modules with high radiators, too, will also be a "bummer", since the distance between the lower point of the cooler base and the lower aluminum plate is only ~ 45 mm. Considering the sizes of the cooler - the connectors nearest to the socket will uniquely blocked them and only low-profile modules will fit without any problems. Next, I note a small bend inside one of the sections relative to another is not a marriage, but a thoughtful solution that allows you to optimize the air flow, the cooling ribs of the radiator.

The plates on the sections have a difference in the structure, which is clearly represented in the photo below.

Let us turn to the ground. It consists of two copper plates having a nickel coating, between which heat pipes are clamped. There are no visible traces of soldering or heat-conducting glue, therefore, what kind of method is used - it remains a mystery. The base is smooth, without drops and bulges. Due to careful processing and polishing, it boasts the perfect mirror reflection. The print test confirms the fatality of the base, the paste is distributed evenly throughout the area, and excess were extruded, which can be seen around the edges of the imprint.

Installing a cooler test platform It is not complicated by installing the boards. We screw the 4-sided bolts into the near-fette mounting holes.

Fix on top of them 2 metal plates and tighten them with nuts with a rolled head.

We apply the thermal path on the processor cover, set over all of this the radiator and press its metal plate with two spring-loaded screws. Fix the brackets fans on the radiator.

Testing

BY LINX AVX 0.6.4. Used to load the processor, the value of the volume of task is 25000, the load duration is 30 minutes. For fixing the temperature of the nuclei was used software Coretemp..

Testing was conducted in the above test configurationThe thermal interface was used as thermal interface Arctic Cooling MX-2. The ambient temperature at the time of test was 24-25 ° C. The "Testing" section is divided into two approaches. The first approach is to determine the maximum capabilities of the test copies, while the noise is not drawn by the noise of cooling systems. The second approach is to find the most comfortable noise characteristics of the test instances, followed by the repetition of the load and the fixation of the maximum temperature of the processor nuclei. In the charts that are presented below, the minimum / maximum temperatures (° C) of the processor cores are indicated in a simple and load, respectively. As opponents there will be several systems of liquid cooling and tower supercouples. All cooling systems, except Corsair H110 (fans are replaced with NOCTUA NF-A14 FLX), were tested with regular fans. Pumps all JSC worked in maximum performance mode.

Approach №1

DeepCool Assassin II showed an excellent result. Among the presented tower supercouples, it justifies the leading position. To the top uniteduveble thoroughly, he is still, of course, far, but given the price - the option is clearly good. Yes, and the fans are noisy to name the language does not turn, the same Corsair H100i has such noise that you can hear it even from the next room through a closed door.

Approach number 2.

In a quiet mode, the situation does not change. To achieve perfect silence from this cooler - had enough minor reduction in the speed of rotation of the fans. That is why the result "to" and "after" will not be much varied.

Conclusion

Deepcool Assassin II is an excellent solution for high-performance configurations. It can cope with the cooling of the overclocked processors without any problems, and it will make everything without excessive noise. There are many advantages at the model, but without drawback it was not. In my opinion, the main and only of them is that the radiator overlaps the nearest surveying slots, which eliminates the possibility of installing modules with high radiators. With the stretch, you can still say about the height of the design, but almost all similar top solutions have a similar height. It is possible to find this cooler for 3.5-4 thousand rubles., Which, against the background of the same NOctua NH-D15, the price of which is at least 1.5 times higher - just in Bås.

Pros:
High efficiency;
Good complete fans;
Equipment;
High-quality manufacture;
Price.

Minuses:
Overlapping RAM connections closest to socket.

Thank you for your given time and to new meetings!
