Scythe Katana 3
$25.00
Released July, 2009
The Pros:Inexpensive compared to most third party coolers. 4-pin fan. Quieter than stock HSFs.
The Cons:92mm fan compatible only - smaller always means louder, must run faster to move the same amount of air as a larger fan. Core i7 compatibility is questionable when it comes to its useful application with that platform. Not the coolest or quietest compared to higher-end coolers.
