We make no bones about that we are very fond of Scythe
heatsinks, I think part of the reason I have developed such a
liking for them is the fact that they are never a duplicate of
someone else's. For example last we we had the chance to review
Scythe's
KamabokoZ Heatpipe
CPU Cooler,when we were done with that
review we were very happy with the way it performed, so happy in
fact that we left in on our computer. Which brings us to today where we will be looking at
Scythe's Ninja Heatpipe CPU Cooler The Ninja can be configured one of two ways, if
you are looking for the silent PC and are not running an
extremely fast processor then you can run the Ninja without a
fan. Or if you don't mind a bit of noise and want to be
able to run a bit more horsepower the kit come with fan clips
that allow you to attach a 120mm fan to the side of the Ninja to
help cool the heatpipe back down.
During our testing we will be looking at both ways to see just
how well Scythe's Ninja Heatpipe CPU Cooler performs.
