Deepcool Gamer Storm Assassin III is an excellent cooling system for the hottest AMD and Intel processors, which in its structure and technical characteristics is noticeably similar to the most popular tower supercooler Noctua NH-D15. It is very well made, looks solid, has a well-thought-out design, excellent equipment, a convenient installation system, and quiet and powerful fans.

In its structure, this is a classic tower-type cooler with a large aluminium radiator, two active fans with a diameter of 140 mm and a classic U-shaped stack of heat-conducting tubes (7 pieces). Thanks to PWM control, the rotation speed of the blades can vary from 400 to 1400 rpm. Quite expensive, quiet and durable hydrodynamic bearings with magnetic self-stabilization deserve special mention.

During active operation, the Deepcool Assassin III tower is capable of removing up to 280 W of heat from the processor, this is one of the most serious temperature indicators on a par with supercoolers from Noctua and Be Quiet. Like its Assasin series brethren, it is designed to cool really powerful and hot Intel/AMD Mainstream, Performance and High-End Desktop class processors.

In general, it can be equally useful both as part of a powerful gaming machine with overclocked components, and inside a workstation designed for video rendering, multi-channel audio processing, modeling, etc. The only negative against the background of all that has been said is the dimensions of the model (height 165 mm, weight 1464 g), which must be taken into account when choosing a case. Such a big guy will be cramped in a compact body.

Giant Slayer

Assassin coolers have a long history. The first model was introduced back in 2012, and it was conceived as a killer of the then supercoolers from Phanteks and Chieftec. But Akela missed and the murder did not happen. It did not happen a couple of years later, when Deepcool released the second Assassin model. And only in the third year of 2019 did the company get a really cool tower cooler with an impressive TDP of 280W.

Serious Approach

Assassin III immediately sets up a serious mood. It doesn't look like someone else's copy or a Chinese craft, it's well built and provides effective CPU cooling at the level of Noctua's super-coolers. The whole system consists of 7 copper heat pipes that pass through the same base and heat removal from the processor is carried out as efficiently as possible. And don't forget about the ability to install an additional fan to a pair of existing turntables. Well, the package bundle says hello to other premium coolers. Under it, they allocated a separate box and there you can even find a screwdriver. Moreover, quite good, and not disposable like Noctua.

Efficient but noisy under load

Not the brightest story of this cooler initially made us skeptical. But the more tests passed Assassin III, the less reason for criticism. It cleverly embodies the classic design of a double-turret turntable and, in terms of efficiency, confidently competes with the Be quiet Dark Rock Pro 4 and Noctua NH-D15. In tests with an overclocked Ryzen 2700X, the temperature conditions of all three models differed literally by 1 – 2 degrees. However at peak load, the Assassin is noticeably noisy, especially against the backdrop of a quiet model from Be quiet.
