Review: DeepCool Assassin III - The Noctua Assassin?
We test and review the DeepCool Assassin III, a heat pipe cooler that is showing very impressive results in both cooling performance and low acoustics. A cooler that can keep up with the NH-D15 from Noctua? is that confidence in this cooler warranted?

Nice cooler, gives the NH-D15 a run for it's money, and is even quieter than the NH-D15 at stock CPU levels (don't know what happens when comparing the two with overclocked CPU), whilst giving the same cooling performance as the NH-D15. Not sure how much the NH-D15 costs in comparison to this reviewed cooler here, but it would definitely be worth considering it if you're building an air cooled rig.

"Then again, there are many of you that absolutely and irrefutably refuse to have anything with water in their PC"
I am one those and I am proud of it haha, This HSF look rather nice similar to D14 and D15 (dual fan) while quiter and less expensive, quite the accomplishment imo
Currently using the D14 in dual mode at 1k rpm in my case it the loudest fans are still the case fan that 1k rpm too, gpu when ramps up does get louder then the case fans. but that D14 keep my pc under load at about 63c give or take.

Same here, NH-D14 for me, and also using the low noise adapters to lower the fan rpm to 900rpm here - it's basically silent in my case and whilst gaming in BF1 my 6700K at 4.68Ghz @1.39V it's under 60 degC (is delidded with liquid metal though). The cooler that's reviewed here is definitely a good choice though it seems, worth considering, but I'm gonna keep my NH-D14 and see if it can live with an 8 core CPU (or greater) in my next build, should be alright.

Nice cooler that does not obstruct memory slots , the price is little on the higher side , hopefully the will lower it notch down .
