Announced today in Japan and set to become widely available for purchase from 21th February, this is the third new processor cooler coming from Scythe within a month. Expected to become the most expensive Scythe cooler, the Orochi may well deserve the title "overkill" with its 10 massive heatpipes, 1155gm weight and huge dimensions: 120x194x155mm (height). On top of this beast you'll find a 140mm fan spinning at 500 rpm, which may also be mounted vertically. The Scythe Orochi is compatible with all Intel P4 478/775 and AMD Athlon64 754/939/940/AM2/AM2+ Sockets. Please visit the product page for more information.

There is such a thing as too big, and this is it. 1150g? I think not.

:twitch: OMG! The Big-Mac of coolers cometh.
The picture on the right looks shopped even though I know it is real.

It should come with some sort of motherboard "cage" to reinforce it.
:twitch: And they get bigger... , the Ten heat pipes are interesting, but i would like to see some real world results...
that mofo is HUGE!!
Thats a huge beast!! I wonder if it will fit in my Silverstone case??? Propably not with the fan on top, maybe vertically?? Cant wait for real world results... Nice to see also what kind of mounting kit you get with it?? If gets high score´s by reviewers, this might be my new cooler to replace the old Ultra120 Xtreme.
These CPU coolers just don't stop growing do they?
The pic where it's sitting on the motherboard looks a bit intimidating don't ya think :twitch:

Heeeyyyooojjje. I guess this will be the closest it gets to fluid-cooling.
the 3rd photo in that series would show the mobo going FLIP and disappearing due to the weight of the heatsink throwing it off that box.
Omg that thing is huge!! "i sound like my girlfriend :)" expecting sarcasm lol do ur worst.
but seriously what case would that actually fit? it looks a monster.It definatly wouldnt fit my case.

Probably comes with some sort of zip tie to suspend it from the top of the case like the Titan Amanda did.
i'd like to see some benchmarks on this to see the cooling performance.

this is a beast!
I dont think its meant to go into cases tho, cause everyone knows at 1150Gs your gonna snap your mobo right in half.
Its meant for OCing competitions, and people that half their PCs built caseless.
Its insane tho! It is as big as that mobo that its on!!!!

that will probably fit in a Thermaltake Mozart and that's about it
My Tuniq Tower just shit itself. :twitch:
there comes a point when one must ask, "is that really necessary?" 1150g is ridiculously asinine, that kind of stress on a motherboard is not good; i'd be surprised if this ever actually makes it to shelves.

what a beast
Someone has been looking too much of photoshopped cpu coolers and though 'hey, let's make one and the joke is on them!' :D
That's like Unicron of the Transformers, mass so big that other cpu coolers orbit around it!

LOL! one would have to make a hole in the side if his/her case so it would fit.
I like the way the have held it down, so it does not fall over :p

My god it needs a heliport to land on
by: trt740;658966it IS the heliport.

I think it should come with two solid iron fans in a push-pull configuration, because in all honesty it's not really heavy enough yet. :rolleyes:
These things are going to open a whole new niche market for case installed "cooler cranes".
Pretty soon it's going to take more than one person to lift the mobo to install it. :roll:

Behold the first air cooler to cool below ambient!:eek:
damn that thing is big, if someone buys it for me ill test it out for ya:rolleyes:
by: SK-1;659017its so big it breaks the laws of physics?

how long before someone mods their case with this sticking out the side?
at least the case might support it then.

by: Mussels;659023Yes,..and also it seems to have its own gravitational field!

I have the feeling that Scythe is going to release their next cooler which will have heatpipes that run to the CPU, RAM, Northbridge, SouthBridge, MOSFETs, and GC as an all in one cooler.
It will weight just under 90 lbs. and almost fit into a standard 20 foot x 20 foot garage.
It will use 4x 16hp gasoline engine driven fans to cool the 90,000 fin plates.
The plates will be wide enough apart that you can cook a whole turkey in under an hour by placing it in the heatsink and turning off one of the fans.

Wow, that thing is huge. I wonder if you can cool a TEC with it. lol
by: Wile E;659432now THAT i like. Just hook this up to another CPU block and dont even bother with a radiator on a water loop:rockout:

anyone know a price?
But how long can your motherboard suffer under the pressure. You see they have their mobo laying flat instead of in a case lol XD.

Meh, that's how mine is anyway. lol.
how does your cpu get hot after that?
putting it in perspective ...
Does it come with motherboard reinforcement brackets? Overkill if you ask me. I bet it works though.

it actually looks like a 478 retention mount in the pic, with the clips in use. the backplate would have to vary by socket, so we'd have to wait and see reviews to know.
It's actually a AMD socket 939 board.
I've just had to scrap one.:( (lightning strike)

by: Matt23;662499Can it actually be bought yet? I would love to see this thing installed in a slim case, where it can hang out the side and show the world what and ugly monstrosity it is!

The Scythe Mugen like I have is 930gm so it is not much more weight, I believe Titans Amanda is ~the same weight. The GB board I have uses copper on the back plate, I will buy this when it comes out here (if it gets good reviews).
by: erocker;662909that would look hilarious. Passive cooling would be improved in that situation too, as its got direct external air.

The more I see it, the more I bet that thing would be capable of cooling at least a 172w TEC. lol.
want one i do, buy one for me someone must.
bad feeling i have, break something WileE will, pictures i saw, horrible they where, last time a tec did he touch, burned up a innocent cpu and board did he.......
lol i will when breaks his system he does again.

Infiltrated have we been! arrest him we must!
note the fact that they had to tape down the mobo... rofl rofl rofl..
It looks like it would be great for venting heat right out the side of the case, but the case might need a vent cut into it. I am still interested in it, but only if it is worth the extra cooling over my Infinity.
its the long lost heatsink of the gods!!! :respect:

It is available here now, but WAY to expensive! Somebody else would have to prove it to be an unearthly powerful air cooler for me to buy it.
Edit: also it is here but I don't know about the company selling it, that price would be o.k. if a good cooler:

by: SK-1;682954But air does leak or need upgrades, I tried liquid cooling already and don't care for it. I have a big curiousness about it, and a little drunk so I might go ahead and order it.

hrm, I just measured, won't fit.
by: [I.R.A]_FBi;662189

if your cpu over heats after this...your an idiot and you need to come back to tpu to ask what you did wrong.
like wow just omg i think my case is thinner than that.
wow i wanna see W1zz do a review on it, if you dont get some nice clocks with that then...idk
it has multiple features it doubles as a lead weight so no one steals your rig at lan-parties, but wait theres more! if you are ever without a boat anchor, or your brakes go out attach the included chain and stop fast!!!!

Instead of mindlessly adding more heatpipes and fins, why couldnt scythe implement the HDT system? I really doubt its performance will be really worth it, the strain and/or stress it puts on the mobo will be HUGE, because of the height and weight. This cooler is the most tallest that has graced the cooling industry (I wouldnt complain if scythe decided to supply a steel board reinforcement plate however)

mindless its not mindless its the only thing capable of cooling prescott!
on a more serious note looks kinda like scythe wanted to be able to say mines bigger than yours is

Yeah, but its totally mindless when so many measures need to be taken for this to be safe. Gemini was already total WTF, same as IFX 14. Theres only one chassis i know that will fit this; and thats BARELY fit.
Oh dear... dear scythe - please get rid of that nickel plated copper base if you truly want this to be the best cooler ever. That base is really thick...
by: tkpenalty;683131the gemini II is funny it wont fit n my case with both fans installed but thats partially the mobos faults since i have to mount it up or down vs left or right.

what case will this fit in?
by: SK-1;682954Not any water worth buying. Water worth buying is still more than twice the price of this.

I'd still go for safety of components :laugh:
Well, vertically its not really a problem, but if it was mounted like in a normal chassis....
Anyway as I said.... HDT FTW.
EDIT: Why such a low RPM fan Scythe... why not add two of your slipstream 1.9k RPM fans?
by: Wile E;683625You obviously cant deal hunt my friend,...many choices abound on Ebay and the like.

I can piece together a decent water system with named parts for right around 100.00.
I just picked up swiftech P65 pump AND a shrouded 120mm rad for 40.00 shipped.
You can also pick up some KILLER deals on Coolit Eliminators. 90.00 and less in some cases.
So there IS water worth buying for a little more, it just takes a little effort to get the deals.
by: SK-1;683978or you could look around in the FS/FT here and put together H2O for almost nothing

As far as this vs h2o pricing, I wasn't comparing it to used components. That's not an apples to apples comparo. By the same token, I could probably find this cooler for $30 used, or under special circumstances.
And what kind of shrouded 120mm rad? That has a huge impact on both value, and performance.
No offense, but your point was a little too vague to counter what I said.
XS has a short review on the beast. Not impressing me anyway. Hope it will perform better?
