Over the past several years we have seen some impressive air coolers. The competition is fierce, and nearly every brand has had some great products. There is always someone looking to take king of the hill in reputation. Today we will be looking at Deepcool's new Assassin Air Cooler to see if it can take that spot. The Assassin Cooler by Deepcool is designed for hardcore gamers looking for extreme performance without having to spend a huge amount of money on water cooling. The twin tower designed cooler could potentially give some of those all-in-one water cooling kits a run for their money. Today we will put it through its paces and see if that is true. At a glance, it appears that the design engineers of the Assassin really want to make this cooler one of kind. The specific design of the aluminum fins isn't something we have seen before, and it really makes an impression. They didn't stop there though, even the hardware included with the cooler was first class, right down to the fans, the nuts and the bolts. Right off we are taken with the unique design. The massive heat pipe this cooler includes is really breath taking. As we delve deeper into the Storm Assassin during this review you will see how Deepcool may have really taken the crown in the air cooler market. Before we move forward lets talk a little more about Deepcool as a company.

Yes it did... it was a good one!
FYI - I merged the 2 threads together - I didn't see the news bot post it when the review went live so I posted it. I guess there is a delay on the servers and bots..

Yeah Kenny, no need to make a thread about the new reviews, BOT does that for you. Except it won't post the feature image, you have to insert it in the thread manually thought.

Kenny great review my friend, and I really like your pics they are clean and sharp
144 X 154 X 160 is this W L H It looks Hugh lol!,
I was trying to figure out just how high it sits off the processor in inches.
If so that would put it just a smidgen under 6.5" high
