INTRODUCTION

Scythe may not be a name that everyone is familiar with when we speak of heatsinks but with the success that Scythe had with their with their their Kamakaze heatsink last year it brought the name recognition up considerably.  Personally I have always liked working with the fine people at Scythe because I think that their goal is much the same as what mine would be if I was in their position and that being offer you a top quality innovative product at a very fair price. 

The other thing you will notice about most the product made by Scythe is the lack of what I call the "Foo-Foo" factor.  Their products are sleek and have all the eye-appeal that most of us enjoy without going over the top with all the colored lights and added chrome that does nothing but drive up the price of the product.  In other words Scythe makes quality gear for the customers that wants it to work and work well for a long period of time.  Now as we check out the Kamakiri heatsink keep in mind what I said about the product being functional without the need for fluff.
