The first thing to know is you have to replace the stock CPU back plate. The case I chose had a large cutout in the motherboard tray so this wasn't an issue, but this is obviously made to mount on a motherboard before it's put into a case. The back plate us universal so make sure you get the bolts in the right place for your CPU socket type.
After that it was pretty easy. screw on the brackets which are well marked, peel the protective sticker off the cpu block, add thermal paste (inlcuded), and screw the tower down to the brackets with the two captive screws. They include a nice long screwdriver for this so you won't need to hunt one up. Finally, add the clips to the fans and attach to the cooling tower. Make sure they are facing the right way (I had to turn one around when I realized I'd messed that up). This is is also easier to do if the motherboard isn't mounted and if the GPU isn't already in it's slot. The front fan may stick up a bit if you have tall memory sticks. Wiring was pretty easy. Attach both fan wires to the splitter cable, then plug that into the cpu fan header on the motherboard. It was long enough that I was able to route it back behind the motherboard for better cable management. That's it. The fans are PWM speed controlled so you can customize the fan curve as you wish. It's remarkably quiet. I can hear it slightly when the fans ramp up but it's not at all off putting. It cools amazingly well, keeping my 5900X at a max of 70 degrees C under full load.
There are some caveats. First, if you have really tall memory sticks (I do) the front fan may be high enough that some cases won't accommodate it. It's big. It literally covers all four memory sticks. while this allows for a cool backlit effect, this likely isn't the best choice if you're looking to max out the RGB. Finally, successfully air cooling demands extra thought be given to the case used. I chose one known for it's airflow (Phanteks P-500A). If you want the tempered glass all around thing, air cooling might not be the choice for you.
The biggest improvement that could be made would be to allow the stock MB plate to be used. Secondly, the thermal paste included isn't the highest rated. I'd suggest picking up some Arctic MX-4 or Grizzly Kryonaut and using that.
After years of running AIO units by Cooler Master, Corsair, and aigo, I decided to give air cooling another try.
This thing is doing better at cooling my CPU than any of the 240 or 120 AIO coolers I've had.
Average life-span for an AIO for me has been about a year before 'something' goes wrong. Either the pump goes bad, or I have trouble getting it mounted in the correct orientation in my case for the liquid to flow well and the in/out hoses still make it where they need go (weird or old cases with limted mounting options). So while they 'work' in my case, they just don't perform like they 'should', and I have yet to get more than 2 years out of any of the AIO's that I have tried to date.
In theory, this Air cooler should last forever. Simply replace fans as they wear out.
I decided to give one of these a try at a similar price to a decent AIO in the size I was interested in. I'm impressed that it's actually keeping my Ryzen 9 3900XT a good 5 degrees cooler than the AIO it has replaced.
It's a LARGE cooler. It is also rather TALL, so take measurements before buying to make sure you have clearance in your case!
I have mine in a rack-mount server style chassis and ended up removing the plastic spoiler from the Assassin cooler (6 little hex screws), and only running one fan in the center position so it would fit.
Going with a single fan doesn't seem to be a problem here. In my case a pair of 80mm fans sucking air out of the case are just a few inches away.
My system also has somewhere around 8 other fans (2X120mm on the front, 3X120mm in the center rail, the 120mm power supply fan, and pair of small fans (not sure the size) in the Icy Dock 6X2.5" drive bay.
With the old AIO, I had to run all the fans pretty much wide open, to keep the CPU below 50C under heavy loads (and sometimes there would still be brief spikes well into the mid 60C range). It was rather noisy (and the AIO pump made the worst of the noise...not so much db as the particular pitch it hums...the one thing I could never get to run slower/more quiet no matter what)!
Now that I've installed the Assassin III I'm able to disable or slow down most of the fans the majority of the time.
Under light loads in power saving modes, this cooler might even be enough for some CPUs these days totally passive (no fan running at all)! For normal work-station types of loads on my 3900XT, running the CPU at stock configuration for power saving, It's running well for me with a fan configuration that is really close to being fully passive (Of course this is Decemeber in the South/USA...things might change a bit come July)!
The mounting is also a bit more complicated than the noctura.
It's worth every $ has been spent on it but I want to see upgraded version with RGB 😍.

Debo decir que las temperaturas con el ventilador de stock de mi ryzen 7 3700x oscilaban entre los 50°C cuando solo lo usaba para word o internet (con unas 15 pestañas abiertas), pero cuando lo ponía a renderizar la cosa cambiaba, con animaciones 3D llegaba a tener hasta 81°C con todo y la tarjeta grafica trabajando entre el 90% y 100% ambos.
Ahora con el cambio y las mismas cargas de trabajo, las temperaturas oscilan si solo lo uso para internet o word a 39°C, ahora si le pongo una carga de trabajo del 100% al hacer los renders de las animaciones llega a estar entre los 63°C, considero que es un buena elección si no quieres una refrigeración liquida.
EXTRA:
Los ventiladores cuentan con un buen flujo de aire, tan buenos que incluso ayudo a sacar mas rápido el aire caliente del gabinete y redujo unos 5° la temperatura de mi tarjeta ya que al poner al máximo los ventiladores del disipador deepcool, note un cambio en las temperaturas de mi grafica rtx2060 super.
Con una carga a la grafica del 100% teniendo una temperatura de hasta 70°C y los ventiladores de la propia grafica al máximo, pero desde que puse este disipador de deepcool, han bajando las temperaturas entre 63°C y 65°C, sin duda mueven mucho aire y cuentan con buena presión los ventiladores de este disipador, ayudan mucho al flujo de aire dentro del gabinete.

The size of the unit mustn't be underestimated. It barely fits in my Phanteks P400A case, and even then only one fan will fit due to clearance issues with the RAM and I/O. It actually makes my RTX 2080 Ti look pitiful in comparison!
Bundled with the cooler is everything you might need, including a good phillips-head screwdriver, some sort of alcohol-infused wipes for cleaning the IHS & cooler base, and a tube of thermal paste, among other things. The wipes likely wouldn't be sufficient for both cleaning surfaces AND clearing off any pre-existing thermal paste you need to remove, so perhaps you would be best off supplying your own cleaning alcohol. Really though, this is as complete of a package as you could expect. The instructions are clear and parts are marked well.
If I had to pick flaws? While the aesthetics of the cooler are quite pleasing, it does jut out way more than anything else in the case, and makes it look unbalanced; I'm considering some sort of decal for the panel or something else to mitigate this.
I'm splitting hairs, though. I'm rarely pleased enough with a product to review it but the combination of ease-of-installation, the fantastic bundle, and the performance of the cooler itself (at what was a much lower price than the competition) makes this an incredible offering and something I'd recommend without hesitation.

I'm rarely pleased enough with a product to review it but the combination of ease-of-installation, the fantastic bundle, and the performance of the cooler itself (at what was a much lower price than the competition) makes this an incredible offering and something I'd recommend without hesitation.
There are two broad reasons that my installation was so slow: (1) I had a cooler installed already, and (2), the cooler is massive and has trouble coexisting with the rest of your case.
Starting with the delays caused by the presence of an existing cooler (a Corsair H60). I had to disassemble that cooler first, and clean the thermal paste off of it and off the CPU (not my first time doing this, the trick is Isopropyl alcohol and coffee filters). Thermal paste cleaning took a while, because I had a bit of overflow from the last time I applied thermal paste (used too much), and wanted to keep it tidy and clean around the cpu socket. Thermal paste is so sticky and prone to getting everywhere, my heart was pounding the whole time. Another unexpected complication of my old cooler: the bracket on the opposite side of the CPU (which is similar to the one used by this cooler, but isn't compatible) had fused to the bracket that anchors the Intel socket clamp (the spring loaded thing) with three screws in a triangle pattern. These brackets were the same color, and completely stuck together, so looked for all the world like a single bracket. So I removed them both. But the bracket for this cooler doesn't have the three holes to anchor the screws for the socket clamp, so I had a problem. I puzzled over this for maybe an hour, before I dug up the manual for my Corsair cooler and saw that the bracket didn't include this additional sheet of metal with three screw holes in it. That prompted to tug them apart as hard as I could, and voila, they snapped apart, but it literally looked like there was glue holding them together. Truly baffling. Anyways, then I got back on track. The installation of the mounts for this cooler are a piece of cake once you have the back plate installed. I actually installed them to the left and right of the CPU, rather above and below, the first time I did it, but that was just me being dumb not paying attention to the instructions. I realized that mistake pretty quickly.
My next several hours were consumed by a different set of problems, all tied to how massive this cooler is. For context, I have a mid-tower ATX case from a custom build, and nobody would ever accuse this case of being small or compact. I never did any measurements before buying this cooler, I just assumed that it *must* be compatible with a case as large as mine. And it is... sort of... just barely.
First headache: plugging in cables (e.g. the CPU slot on the motherboard and to power fans) around this behemoth of a cooler is a nightmare. I at least had the foresight to anticipate this, but needed to spend a lot of time working on cable management and reorganizing stuff in my case to clear room and plug stuff in advance.
Next headache: RAM clearance. This is an obvious problem with this fan that people talk about, and that is kind of anticipated. As I was about to start screwing in the cooler, I panicked that the RAM was going to get in the way -- it seemed uncomfortably close to the radiators, and was only going to get close as I finished screwing in the cooler. So I looked up whether moving the ram to different slots would create an issue, and the indication I got from YouTube was "no". Ha! We'll come back to that. Next step: screw down the cooler into the mount. Goes smooth. Next step: attach the fans. This was also straightforward, although the manual doesn't make it clear exactly where the fans are supposed to go, relative to the CPU. I watched a Youtube video that helped me with that.
Problem: even with my ram moved over to slots further away from the CPU, it still got in the way of one of the fans. No problem to still mount the fan to the cooler, BUT, now the fan protrouded out too far from the motherboard, and prevented from me sealing the ATX case back up. "Whatever", I shrug, I guess I'll just leave my case open for now.
Disaster: I plug the power back in and try to turn the rig on. A bunch of RGB lights for my internals come alive, but nothing else happens. No BIOS. No backlight on my keyboard. The monitor is pitch black. Did I spill cooling paste on my CPU? Have I bent a pin? A reason for optimism: the motherboard is giving an orange "DRAM" light, but no error indicator on the CPU light. I guess I can't move the RAM to different slots after all. I know what I need to do: move the RAM back to where it was before.
Next problem: I need to remove the clamped-on cooler fans to give myself room to work to pull out the RAM sticks and move them. Except that one of the clamps absolutely refuses to come off. I spend maybe 30 minutes battling with this thing. Eventually I get wire cutters and am prepared to snap the damned things in half. The clamps laugh in the face of the wire cutters, they're no match, *but*, by basically using the wire cutters as pliers, I'm finally able to snap the clamp loose. Removing the fans doesn't give me quite enough space to move the RAM stick over, I have to keep going with my disassembly and take the cooler completely off. Not ideal to break the thermal paste seal I've just made, but not a huge deal, and easy enough.
Finally: I move the RAM back to where it was before I started this project, I screw the cooler back down, I reattach the fan clamps (with one of the fans protruding out too far to be able to close the case, but whatever): and we have BIOS! I can start the computer.
Hold on: my BIOS is telling me I have a "CPU fan error". I restart, and same thing. Hmm. I notice that one of the 60mm cooler fans isn't spinning. Have I knocked the plug loose in all these shenanigans? Well guess what, the plug is buried between the RAM and the CPU socket, and to even *see* I need to take this whole thing apart again. Ugh. I didn't come all this way to have one of the fans not work. So I take it apart again. Off come the fan clamps (Wire cutters in hand from the beginning, I'm a pro now), unscrew the cooler mount and take a look -- the plug is secure. I start my computer with the cooler dismounted to check if the fan error still happens. And it does -- but the CPU fan that wasn't spinning before *is* spinning now. It occurs to me that the "error" might be that I used to have a fan plugged in to the AIO pump plug, but now don't. It's just telling me that it expects there to be a fan that isn't there any more. Ugh. Turn it off, reassemble everything, tell the BIOS to re calibrate the fans. And we're in business baby! No more fan error, and cooling performance is fantastic. I play some games.
But about that open case. A closed case can actually be better for expelling hot air, because you can establish more of a coherent flow of air coming in and out of the case. And it is definitely better at keeping dust out, and it is definitely quieter, and it definitely looks better. I call it a night, but the next day I revisit what I can do to still close the case. After trying a couple of different things, eventually I figure out that I can mount a regular 40mm fan using the same mounts, and I replace the fan that sits over the RAM. I repurpose the 60mm fan elsewhere in my case. That does the trick--I'm able to seal the case back up (just barely), and thermal performance remains absolutely stellar.
It's a happy ending, but it was no walk in the park to get there.
