Scythe ANDY Samurai Master Provided by: Scythe
Scythe is no stranger to CPU cooling, their heatsinks have been at the top of the performance charts for the past years; the ANDY Samurai Master is a more compact heatsink, but still able to fit a 120mm fan.

Platform compatibility: Intel Socket 478&775/AMD AM2/939 Fan Support: 1x120mm Fan Included: 120x120x25mm, 1200rpm, 49.58cfm/20.94dBA Dimensions: 125x137x104 mm Weight (with fan): 685gr

Scythe includes their “VTMS Clips” which stands for Versatile Tool-free Multiplatform System, these clip on mounting brackets proved to work quite well in our previous AMD system tests, the Intel S775 version uses the same push-pins as the Intel stock unit. A manual and thermal compound bag round up the extra’s of the ANDY package
The 120mm fan included has better specifications as the 120mm from the Scythe Infinity, or Ninja Plus, the Ninja Rev B however also comes with this new fan, which sports higher CFM at lower noise level. 2 metal clips secure the fan in its place, but do note that these are designed for 120x120x25mm fans, not the larger 38mm models.

The six heatpipes transfer heat from the copper base to a series of tightly stacked aluminum fins which pretty much cover the whole surface area of the 120mm fan; while we’ve seen this design before with the original Thermalright XP-120, the ANDY has 1 more heatpipe (XP-120 had 5) and they are not positioned at the edges of the heatsink, but in the middle:




The base is extremely well finished; in the photo below you can find almost no flaws in the reflection of the manual:
