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.
Conclusion and evaluation
Now that’s what I call an absolute knockout! DeepCool engineers have really done it. Their bet on the vapor chamber base worked out nicely, so the Assassin IV VC Vision can happily rank among the top five coolers in our database. Premium coolers like the Dark Rock Elite, MasterAir 824 or NH-D15 G2 now have another strong rival to compete with for the market. All this is complemented by great craftsmanship, a robust mounting system or pretty good acoustic optimization of the fans.
The icing on the cake is the large display on top of the cooler, where you can view the temperature, clock speed, utilization and power consumption of the CPU. In conclusion, I can tell you without a shadow of a doubt that the DeepCool Assassin IV VC Vision is almost a perfect cooler and except for the expectedly higher price, I have nothing to complain about. Plain and simple Top Notch! cooler that deserves our highest praise.

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. 🙂
