Our CES 2019 party continues with a visit to Deepcool who had some sleek cases and cooling products on display. Highlights include a high-end air cooler, feature-rich ATX case and a new AIO water cooler.

Assassin III Heatsink

The Assassin III heatsink comes in at a blistering 280w TDP, on par with some AIO water cooling solutions we’ve seen. With claims like that, it may even have the chops to challenge the Noctua NH-D15 for air cooling supremacy. We’re looking forward to testing them head-to-head in a future review.

This cooling performance is accomplished by several unique features. First, this dual tower, nickel-plated air cooler is designed so that the 140mm fans sit slightly higher than the top of the heatsink. This additional space, coupled with a “spoilers” on the top of the heatsink helping to move more air through the fins and gives a bit more clearance over the RAM. Second, and maybe most important, the seven heatpipes use a hybrid sintered and grooved technology. According to Deepcool, most heatpipes are either sintered or grooved, not both. By employing both methods, Deepcool claims 15% better cooling performance than standard heatpipes.

To firmly position this cooler at the top echelon of air cooling, Deepcool includes a deluxe accessory package with a custom screwdriver to make installation a breeze. The Assassin III should hit the shelves in May at a $99.99 MSRP.
