Verdict

DeepCool Assassin IV

8.7 / 10 Expert Rating

A genuine flagship-tier challenger that gets DeepCool most of the way to Noctua-level cooling for a fraction of the price.

Phanteks PH-TC14PE

8.2 / 10 Expert Rating

A genuine classic that remains one of the quietest dual-tower coolers available, still worth buying today despite its age.
