Deepcool Assassin IV VC Vision compatibility and usefulness
DEEP COOL CH160 with Deepcool Assassin IV VC Vision
Has anyone tried using a Deepcool Assassin 4S on a 9800X3D? If yes, how does it perform?
Question about Assassin IV vs Assassin 4S - please help!
I want to build an AM5 system based on 9900X3D/9950X3D. I would like a X870/X870E chipset mobo and Deepcool Assassin IV VC aircooler. These X870 motherboards come with a chunky radiators, since Deepcool's website states that these coolers aren't compatible with some motherboards (for previous non vision ver), I'm getting a bit concerned.
-
Will the Deepcool Assassin IV VC be compatible with X870/X870E Gigabyte or MSI make motherboards? The fan at the end might get in a way I think. :/
-
Should this fancy vapour chamber be enough to tame a new 12 or 16 core X3D?
A bit of background. I really like this cooler as it pleases me aesthetically and I'm aiming to create a bit of monochromatic look. And I prefer air cooling as me being likely a dinosaur, I don't want an AIO.
Also I'm really sad to see low stock levels on gigabyte's X870Es as these boards seem pretty nice. :/
Quick build of my new CH160 with latest Deepcool Assassin IV VC Vision.
There were few posts/videos circulating that it is not possible, however with the configuration listed below it is possible despite almost no gap between cooler screen and the pc case glass panel.
Full list of the parts used in this build:
DEEPCOOL CH160 (REAR INTAKE, FRONT/TOP EXHAUST)
ASUS ROG STRIX B650E-I
ZOTAC RTX 5080 SOLID CORE OC (303.5x115.8x55.7mm)

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
And finally - DEEPCOOL ASSASSIN IV VC VISION (both fans flipped manually to intake from the back of pc case)
Additional notes:
-
I removed default bottom dust cover as it is not possible to remove and clean it without video card removal. I built custom one which attached on magnets to the outside bottom panel (https://www.amazon.de/-/en/dp/B09Y336F2R).
-
Due to rear intake another custom dust panel was made to prevent dust go inside from the back.
