DeepCool’s Assassin IV and Assassin 4S coolers performed exceedingly well in our reviews. Now another variant of this cooler is about to be released, the Assassin IV VC Vision, which has a redesigned base built around the vapor chamber principle. This should provide more efficient and faster heat dissipation from the CPU. So let’s see how this cooler performs in stress tests and whether it will carve out a place in the elite club of high-end coolers.
Spectral analysis of noise
A spectral analysis of the noise cannot be missing either. This is a simple analysis at noise levels of 39 dBA, 45 dBA and at maximum speed of the cooler. For the analysis I use the UMIK-1 microphone from miniDPS in conjunction with True Audio’s TrueRTA application. The resolution of the analysis is 1/24 of an octave and the shape of the spectrogram is an average of 100 samples acquired over 20–30 seconds.
With this comment I would like to thank Pavel for all the great cooler tests he has done for HWCooling for these almost 6 years. Really good work!
If nothing changes, the Assassin IV VC Vision is the last iron in the numerous database we have built up. We are not stopping with coolers, of course, on the contrary. Where something ends, something new tends to begin, and this will be the case as well. 🙂
