Passive CPU Coolers ShoutOut: CM Z600 vs Scythe Ninja CU

jmke · 21st May 2008, 13:36

In this comparative performance test we put two 1000gr+ CPU coolers through our stress tests to see which one comes out on top. Both are designed for passive cooling but can benefit from a bit of forced airflow too. How to they compare to the other 40 heatsinks we tested before? Let´s find out

Nice review.
I've got a Ninja CU, but it's a bit difficult to mount 2 fans on it.
the 'pull' fan touches the cu fins with it's blades...

For the rest: great heatsink!

put two strips (cardboard, foam) at each two sides of the fan between fan||heatsink that should clear up the space; shouldn't be much, 1-2mm is enough.
