DeepCool Assassin IV Review – Can it beat the Noctua NH-D15?

Overall Performance

To calculate each cooler’s overall performance, I take into account three factors, the CPU’s temperature, wattage, and frequency, by using the following equation:

(Wattage / Temperature) x Frequency

Each chart shows the cooler under test as 100% and every other product’s performance as relative to it.

relative_performance_20dBA

relative_performance_25dBA

relative_performance_30dBA

relative_performance_Full_Speed

Relative performance is almost identical to the previous model’s. Performance is high, but the Noctua NH-D15 doesn’t feel threatened.

Performance Per Price

performance_per_dollar_20_dBA

performance_per_dollar_25dBA

performance_per_dollar_30dBA

performance_per_dollar_Full_Speed

I used the same price tags for the Assassin coolers since the previous model is no longer available, so all results are identical.
