Description

DeepCool ASSASSIN VC ELITE WH 140mm Air CPU Cooler for High-Performance Builds

The DeepCool ASSASSIN VC ELITE WH is a premium dual-tower air CPU cooler engineered for gamers and demanding workstation users who want strong thermal control without switching to liquid cooling. Built around a large heatsink structure and efficient heat dissipation design, it helps keep high-end processors stable during long gaming sessions, heavy multitasking, and extended workloads. The cooler’s white finish also makes it a clean visual match for modern PC builds where aesthetics matter as much as performance.

Dual-Fan Airflow with Fluid Dynamic Bearing for Reliable Cooling

Cooling performance is delivered through two high-performance fans: a 140×140×25 mm fan and a 120×120×25 mm fan. Both fans use Fluid Dynamic Bearings and 6-pole fan motors, which are designed to provide smooth operation, consistent airflow, and long-term reliability. With Performance Mode enabled, the fan speed range reaches 500–1800 RPM (±10%), generating airflow up to 61.25 CFM (for the 140mm fan) and 58.06 CFM (for the 120mm fan). This makes the cooler well-suited for systems that run hot under sustained CPU load, such as content creation workflows, rendering, and CPU-intensive games.

For users who prioritize quiet operation, the cooler also supports Quiet Mode. In Quiet Mode, the fan speed range is reduced to 500–1450 RPM (±10%), while airflow can reach up to 48.55 CFM. Noise levels drop significantly to ≤22.6 dB(A), helping maintain a calmer environment for everyday use, late-night gaming, or office productivity. Compared to many basic air coolers that can become noticeably loud under load, the ASSASSIN VC ELITE WH is designed to balance cooling and acoustics through PWM-controlled fan behavior.

PWM Control for Smart Thermals and Better System Balance

The cooler uses a 4-pin PWM connector, allowing the motherboard to adjust fan speed based on CPU temperature and thermal demand. This means you can expect more efficient cooling behavior—higher airflow when the CPU is under stress, and reduced fan speeds when the system is idle or lightly loaded. In practical terms, PWM control helps reduce unnecessary fan ramping, which can improve overall comfort and can also support a more stable long-term user experience during mixed workloads.

Strong Heat Dissipation with Nickel-Plated Copper Base and Aluminum Fins

Heat transfer is supported by a nickel-plated copper base paired with high-density aluminum fins. This combination is designed to conduct heat efficiently away from the CPU and spread it across the fin stack for effective dissipation. The cooler also features an air pressure rating up to 3.76 mmAq, which indicates strong airflow capability through the heatsink for improved heat removal. For overclocking enthusiasts or users running extended CPU workloads, this kind of airflow pressure and fin efficiency can be especially helpful in maintaining safer operating temperatures.

Compatibility Across Popular Intel and AMD Sockets

The DeepCool ASSASSIN VC ELITE WH is designed for broad platform compatibility, supporting Intel sockets including LGA2066, LGA2011-v3, LGA2011, LGA1851, LGA1700, LGA1200, LGA1150, LGA1151, and LGA1155. It also supports AMD AM5 and AM4. This makes it a flexible choice for both current-generation gaming systems and upgrade paths, allowing users to move between supported Intel and AMD platforms without changing the entire cooling solution.

Physical Specs, Color, and Warranty

The cooler’s dimensions are 144×147×164 mm, with a heatsink structure size of 140×110×160 mm. It weighs approximately 1772 g, reflecting a solid build intended for stable mounting and effective thermal mass. The product color is white, giving it a modern look that complements clean, high-airflow PC cases. For long-term peace of mind, the DeepCool ASSASSIN VC ELITE WH comes with a 6-year warranty.
