Review on Assassin III Premium CPU Cooler with Twin Towers, πŸ”₯ 7 Heatpipes, and Dual 140mm PWM Fans by DEEP COOL by Adithep Chaisan ᠌

Revainrating 3 out of 5

The product is usable, I expected a bit more.

I put this cooler at random, taking the only AM3+ in stock in one store. Noise enters the brain. In general, it is tolerable in terms of level (although the fan noise level still dominates the system unit), but the emphasis on high frequencies in the noise kills all the pleasure and the desire to recommend it to anyone. Complicated installation: 1. My case simply did not close, a few millimeters were not enough. If there were stampings on the side panels, they would fit, probably. So it's not suitable for everyone. 2. You need to remove the fans before mounting the heatsink on the processor, which is somehow not obvious, but this step is not in the instructions. Otherwise, you will, like me, spend an hour trying to screw only two bolts. 3. Covers all memory modules with a side fan. The memory must be installed in advance, you cannot change the memory without removing it. Either just the fan, or the entire cooler, and the memory should only be without heatsinks or with low heatsinks. High radiators will not fit. My Fury from Kingston got in. The fans are clamped to the radiator, so in general you can play around with moving the fan to the other side so as not to interfere with the memory, or even try to throw out the second valve and leave the middle one in the hope of reaching a more acceptable noise level without overheating, which did not crash to the ears. Probably, you can find more silent fans and then it will be a pretty cool thing.

Pros
  • Works Cools Possible socket AM4 support if you're lucky with the release date. There is no mention of this in the description on the sites, but in my case it was on the box. Someone may consider the backlight to be a virtue, so let it be a virtue, although it is not visible under the table. A more important plus is the ideal base surface, which is generally polished to a mirror, which is very useful for good heat transfer.
Cons
  • It makes a nasty high-frequency noise that eats into the brain at any rotation speed. Difficulties in installation. Including difficulties in installing RAM. Two fans: 1 four-pin and one 3-pin. One regulates the speed, the other forever at 1300 rpm. At the same time, Dipkul himself declares this as a feature on the site and "the first in the world." And I immediately bought a deepcool fun hub to regulate both valves.
