  Scythe Samurai Z:
Supplied by: Scythe

Scythe’s Samurai series of heatsinks has been with us for some time now, we reviewed one (SCSM-1000) back in May of 2004, the new version comes with a “Z” tag, 92mm fan and heat pipes joined in a copper base.

While I couldn’t find a price on the latest one, the previous SCSM-2000 (which is a revision of the SCSM-1000) can be had for €25-30, it’s half the price of Scythe high performance “Shogun”.

  • Step by step manual for each platform
  • mounting clips
  • a small amount of generic thermal paste


    Construction :

    The Samurai Z is made from a combination of two materials: 2 copper heat pipes run through the heatsink and are joined in copper base , small aluminum fins help dissipate the heat.

    A 92mm fan from Scythe (model AD912LS-A76GL) is mounted to blow fresh down towards the base; the clips provided are not the easiest ones to remove/install but get the job done. Bridged or webbed fans are incompatible with these clips however (example)

    A view from the top (above) and side (below)

    The base is very smooth, close to a mirror finish; I would almost think that it was lapped manually. No machine marks are visible.
