Announced back in May of last year, Deep Cool’s Gamer Storm Assassin CPU cooler is now getting ready to hit retail for the equivalent of $80 US, about 61 EUR.
Taking only a short look at the Assassin, this wouldn't appear to differentiate itself too much from the all the other twin tower coolers available in the market, but, moving closer, one gets to see that the company went with a unique heatsink concept which uses a diamond-shaped pattern.
While
Deep Cool didn't reveal too much about this technology, it appears that its role is to lower the turbulence produced by the installed fans.
In turn, this could help lower the system's noise as the Assassin can be fitted with no less than three cooling fans.
Only two fans are shipped together with the Assassin, one measuring 140mm while the other measures 120mm, and the larger of these two is placed right between the twin towers to draw hot air through the heatsink.
The second one is placed so that it could push fresh air into the Assassin and both of these come with a rubber cover frame to minimize vibrations.
The heat dissipated by the fans is drawn from the copper base covering the CPU through eight 6mm thick heatpipes.
No information regarding the maximum cooling capacity of the Assassin was provided, but the
cooler looks like it will be able to keep up with pretty much any high-performance CPU available out there, even when
overclocked.
The Deep Cool Assassin is shipped together with a universal mounting system, which supports all of Intel's and AMD's recent sockets, including LGA 2011, LGA 1155, LGA 1366 and AM3+.
Deep Cool still hasn’t mentioned when the Assassin CPU cooler hits retail, but
Expreview says this is bound to happen soon.
