DeepCool ASSASSIN VC ELITE Black CPU Cooler - 300W, 7 Heatpipes
The DeepCool ASSASSIN VC ELITE Black CPU Cooler is a high-capacity air cooler suited to builders handling processors up to 300W TDP who want the option to run either silently or at peak performance. Its vapor chamber base and seven heatpipes work through dual fan towers to pull heat away from the CPU and exhaust it efficiently, with a user-friendly mounting system that clears high-profile RAM.
Why this product
Vapor chamber base boosts cooling capacity
The planar vapor chamber equalizes heat across a wider area before it reaches the seven heatpipes, raising the effective TDP handling to 300W — well above most traditional tower coolers.
Quiet and performance modes in one cooler
A slide switch lets you choose between silent operation (under 29 dB at full speed) or maximum cooling throughput without swapping hardware.
Clears high-profile RAM without compromise
The relocatable 120mm fan and center-mounted 140mm fan design leaves unobstructed clearance for tall RGB memory modules.
FDB bearings for longevity and quiet operation
Fluid Dynamic Bearing fans deliver sustained airflow with minimal noise and vibration over years of use, backed by a 6-year limited warranty.
Wide socket support including newest Intel and AMD
It mounts on LGA1851, LGA1700, AM5, AM4, and most other current mainstream sockets with a user-friendly installation design.

- High-profile RAM compatibility confirmed, but final clearance depends on your specific case and RAM height — verify case interior space for the 164mm overall height
Best for
- Builders with CPUs at or above 200W TDP
- Silent-first setups where noise under 25 dB matters
- Systems with high-profile RGB memory that need cooler clearance
- Users who want flexibility to switch between quiet and performance on demand
- Builders valuing long-term reliability — the 6-year warranty backs the FDB bearing design
Trade-offs
- Compact cases. At 164mm tall and 147mm wide, it requires generous case space; cramped builds risk RAM or VRM contact.
- Socket-locked systems. It does not support older Intel or AMD platforms — verify your socket is on the supported list.
- Liquid cooling preference. It is an air cooler; if you need closed-loop liquid cooling for aesthetics or specific form factors, look elsewhere.
The ASSASSIN series adds to its impeccable cooling line with the ASSASSIN VC ELITE. With the new black-gold aesthetic, the ASSASSIN VC ELITE includes a vapor chamber at the base that improves heat transfer dramatically while increasing the TDP to 300 watts!
VAPOR CHAMBER-ENHANCED
Vapor chambers are essentially large, flattened heatpipes with high thermal conductance. In the ASSASSIN IV VC series, the heat is extracted through the coldplate, which starts the cooling process in the planar chamber. The heat gets equalized and sent up the heatpipes to get cooled further by the fin stacks. This solution raises the cooling capacity to an astounding 300W of TDP!
Featuring a vapor chamber-enhanced base and seven heat pipes that deliver extremely efficient heat transfer through two fin-array heat sink towers for another level of high heat dissipation. The included DM9 thermal paste meets the rigorous standards used in industrial applications.
IN QUIET OR PERFORMANCE MODE
With a simple slide of a switch, the ASSASSIN VC ELITE can morph from a whisper-quiet cooler when low noise is of the utmost importance to the efficient cooling force DeepCool air coolers are known for.
ALL CLEAR!
The ASSASSIN VC ELITE's case is clean, sleek, and helps channel air through the fin towers, while the relocatable 120mm fan provides unobstructed clearance for high-profile RGB RAM. Due to the center 140mm fan sitting deep into the heart of the ASSASSIN VC ELITE, there is a lower flow of air that provides additional cooling to the toasty surrounding VRMs.
BE COOL, BE CALM
A key factor in the ASSASSIN VC ELITE's extremely silent operation is the use of three-phase, six-slot, four-pole fan motors with low voltage and power consumption. The high-end true FDB bearings in each of the fans are the gold standard, and for good reason. DeepCool is so confident in our new design that the ASSASSIN VC ELITE comes with 6 years of limited warranty coverage!
WIDE RANGE OF MODERN CPU SOCKET COMPATIBILITY
The ASSASSIN VC ELITE supports virtually all modern mainstream CPU sockets from AMD and Intel, including the LGA1851 and AM5.
EASY INSTALLATION
Installing larger air coolers can be difficult and is a prime reason the hardware and installation was designed to be extremely user friendly. Even the magnetic top fan cover was crafted with ease of installation in mind.
