  I heard the name before. A man who is righteous, good with his sword and other weapons of the time: loyal to his master and trusted by his friends. I have had read “the sword of a Samurai is to kill the strong so that the weak could live”. Is this the Samurai we are reviewing? I’m afraid not.

A new Cooler from SCYTHE, a company introduced the Kamakaze Cooler last year that has become well recognized in a very fast pace. While other manufacturers focus on performance; Scythe has been pushing silence and performance from the first product they released. The Samurai is a multi-platform cooler, it fits Socket A, Socket 370, 478, 754 and 940. In another word, it will work with all current AMD and Intel CPU. In a quick glance, the Samurai certainly looks similar to the Kamakaze that some of us have seen. It uses the same 80 mm fan with a max speed of about 3,400 RPM; the familiar rheostat PCI mounted control. Take a closer look and the similarity ends.
