  Scythe Katana:
Supplied by: Bacatá

Another new product from Scythe features a name associates with warriors in Japanese history.

Specifications Katana :

Compatibility:
  • Intel: Socket 370/478/775
  • AMD: Athlon (XP) Socket 462; Athlon64/64+ Socket754/940/939

    Fan included: 92x92x25mm
    Fan Speed: 2000rpm (±10%)
    Fan Noise Level: 25 dB(A)
    Air Flow: 35.12 CFM

    Weight: 300g; A lightweight compared to other coolers with similar design and the same low weight might make it an ideal contestant to the asetek MicroChill series.

    For more detailed specifications I would like to direct you to the manufacturers' site.


    In the Box :

    Also this cooler supports almost every common used socket. Do we have as much parts as we found with the Hyper 6+ ? Or even more !

    Construction :

    This lightweight uses a perfectly mirror copper base joined by heatpipes with a lot of thin aluminium fins on the opposite end.

    Installation :

    While you might think the amount of parts resemble a jig saw puzzle, the step by step installation was done in just a couple of minutes.

    After peeling of the protective film from the heatsink base, you need to assmble the hold down bracket. Then you need to prepare the back mounting plate. After that you just sandwich the mainboard in-between all the parts you have put together. A little and cute tool is supplied, but it's far from handy...

    Previous models of Scythe coolers suffered from using something stronger than sticky back plate. Removal was very difficult. They changed that. Instead of ripping parts off of the mainboard, you're ripping the sticky part in pieces...
