DEEPCOOL Assassin VC Elite 120mm CPU Air Cooler ( White )

The Deepcool Assassin VC Elite (White) is a high-performance dual-tower CPU air cooler that combines a vapor chamber coldplate with seven 6 mm heat pipes to handle up to 300W of CPU TDP. Unlike conventional heat-pipe-only designs, the integrated vapor chamber equalizes heat across its planar surface before transferring it up the heat pipes into the dual fin stacks, resulting in more uniform and efficient thermal dissipation under sustained workloads. The cooler ships with two fans: a central 140 mm fan and a front-mounted 120 mm fan, both running on Fluid Dynamic Bearings (FDB) and driven by six-pole, four-pole motors that minimize electrical noise and rotational resistance. In Performance Mode, the 140 mm fan spins up to 1800 RPM delivering 61.25 CFM, while the 120 mm fan reaches 1700 RPM with 58.06 CFM of airflow. Both fans support a quieter operating profile where noise is kept at or below 22.6 dB(A), making the Assassin VC Elite suitable for noise-sensitive workstations and content-creation rigs alike. In Performance Mode combined noise remains at or below 29.3 dB(A). All fans connect via standard 4-pin PWM headers, giving motherboard fan-curve control full authority over speed. The center 140 mm fan is mounted deep within the heatsink structure, creating a low-pressure air channel that directs additional airflow toward motherboard VRM components—a useful thermal benefit for high-current platforms. Installation is aided by a magnetic top fan cover and a mounting system engineered for accessibility, reducing the friction typically associated with fitting large-format coolers. The Assassin VC Elite White carries product code R-ASN4-WHNVNN-GJD and is compatible with a broad range of Intel sockets (LGA2066, 2011-v3, 2011, 1851, 1700, 1200, 1150, 1151, 1155) and AMD sockets (AM5, AM4).
