Compare: Fuma 2 Rev. B vs Assassin IV

Design and Aesthetics:

Fuma 2 Rev. B

The Scythe Fuma 2 Rev. B features a dual-tower design with two slim aluminum heatsinks and a pair of 120mm Kaze Flex fans. This design ensures efficient heat dissipation and allows for compatibility with various system configurations, including those with tall RAM modules. Aesthetically, the Fuma 2 Rev. B has a sleek, modern appearance with a black and gray color scheme that complements a variety of build themes.

Assassin IV

This cooler boasts a clean and modern design that sets it apart from other air CPU coolers available today. The entire cooler is tightly put together, which can make it a bit tricky to figure out how to take it apart into its different parts. The middle fan is hidden seamlessly without any visible gaps around it. It comes in an all-black design with DeepCool's signature textured radiator, adding a stylish and modern touch to any setup.

Install Notes:

Fuma 2 Rev. B

The Scythe Fuma 2 Rev. B comes with a mounting system that offers compatibility with a wide variety of Intel and AMD sockets. The installation process is relatively straightforward, thanks to the detailed instructions and high-quality components provided. This cooler employs a similar method to the Noctua installation, but with a slight alteration in the male and female connectors on the cooler's mounting system. This modification allows for easy installation and removal of the cooler. However, to ensure optimal cooling performance, it's essential to carefully follow the instructions and achieve proper mounting.

Assassin IV

Installing the Assassin IV is made easier with its smooth setup process. However, because it's small and designed with a lot of details, getting it installed correctly might be a bit tricky if you don't follow the instructions they give you. This cooler uses a bracket that's almost the same as premium coolers and attaches to the motherboard in a way that's like the AK620 model. Figuring out how to put the cooler onto the brackets might be a bit puzzling because its design is so seamless and neat. The top metal mesh that covers the fan sticks on with a magnet, so you can easily access and remove the middle fan during installation. Then, you can attach the cooler to a two-point system and put the middle fan back in place. However, this cooler doesn't put it's fan in the front like most other coolers, so the exposed fan faces the rear. One neat thing is that the fans are already connected, so you only need one plug to turn on both fans and the cooler's LED DeepCool logo. There are additional brackets to potentially add a third fan to the front of the cooler.
