Scythe Katana II

CPU cooler that comes with set of mounting clips for Socket 478, Socket 754,939,940,AM2, LGA 775. Some thermal compound (grease) is included.

Cooler can be mounted in 4 orientations (the direction where the air flow depends on this).

For example you can point it to the top (hot air is naturally traveling up) or to the back of your case (where another cooler might be pulling hot air out of the box).

3 heat-pipes are transfering the heat from CPU to the ribs that are mounted at some angle. Included fan is spinning at about 1500 RPM. The fan has 3 pins (no support for pulse-width speed control).

Some test of the efficiency:

With stock cooler and grease I got temperature 37-43 Celcius degree. It was lowered to 32-38 Celcius degree when used with better grease and overclocked CPU. Temperature in my case is 30-35 Celcius degree. Temperatures given in medium CPU stress (both cores). CPU used is E7400 @2800 MHz (overclocked to 3500 MHz)
