Introduction

If I was at my weekly psychiatrist's visit and we were playing some type of word association game and the word he presented me with was "Scythe", I would have to choose from one or two words and they would be something along the line of "Quiet" or "Powerful". The reason I would choose these two words is simply because every product they make is usually very quiet as well and being very powerful at what it does.

If you think back to who the first heatsink company was to utilize heatpipes in their heatsinks and you come up with Scythe. This is a company that can easily be compared with Zalman that works to provide the best product for the money while still being attractive in design. Today we have the pleasure of reviewing their newest VGA cooler the Musashi which utilizes a pair of 100mm fan combined with heatpipe technology to make one of the most effective coolers on the market today.
