In ancient Japanese “Zipang” stands for “Japan” which is a sacred word for the Japanese. Therefore, Scythe must have had very good reasons to use this word as a name for their cooling solution. Just recall some other cooler names from this maker: Ninja, Katana, Shogun, etc. and you will understand right away that they can’t even compare to Zipang in terms of significance. Anyway, in early 2008 Scythe launched a cooler with this particular name and it proved an excellent solution back in the days, although we can’t say that it became very popular among computer enthusiasts as well as mainstream users. However, not so long ago the Japanese cooler maker released a second version of the ZIpang cooler designed with M.A.P.S. technology that has proven very effective in Mugen 2 and Kabuto coolers.
