CeBIT 2009: Scythe


Scythe is displaying quite a few new cooling solution as well as some prototypes. Let us start with the concepts first. The "Godhand" is an extremely large CPU cooler, which hovers over the top half of the mainboard. Then there is a large, passive block with heatpipes. This unit is intended for midrange GPUs and can handle around 60W of heat. Then there is a large version of the Kama Cross, simply called Kama Grand Cross.


The new retail coolers are quite numerous as well. The Kabuto and Zipang 2 use seperated aluminum fins, so that each heatpipe has their own set of cooling fins to use. They are also offering a new Shuriken unit, which manages to be even lower than the original, but also feature a larger 120 mm fan. The Ninja Wire on the other hand is a simple, metal string, which is intended to hold a large CPU cooler in place and take the strain off the mainboard.

Scythe is also working on power supplies, and their Kamariki series is ready to go, while the Chouriki is still in the works. The Kamariki uses some modular cables and gives you the option to connect three fans directly to the power supply. These are then regulated by the amount of total power drawn from the PSU.

Shuriken / Low profile PC FTW, nice that it's lower profile.. release date??
eidairaman1first impressions make or break a product line, if they are crap at the beginning there is no confidence they are going to be better, just like the US Economy, and you can't blame the bush admin for all of that stuff, because the ball is in Obama's court now.
How does that economy comparison work?
That "can't blame bush" statement doesn't make any sense either.
Your argument is like me running the Titanic into an iceberg, and then handing you the wheel and saying "its in your court now".

I wish i could see what most of you are seeing. All im seeing is a piece of junk i wouldnt dare to put in my pc. I dont know . . . I get the whole passive cooling thing but how bloody heavy would that gpu cooler be !!! Those cpu coolers look so dodgy to me, especially the crippled grandcross.

What in the F*&8 would i know . . . Can someone purchase one of these and tell us if they come crippled from the factory and runs some benches ? I just want to know im right.

The GPU cooler has been designed to take a fan

If you guys look at the picture of the 'god hand' you can see the graphics card cooler at the edge of the picture. Here, I can see one of those slim 100mm fans they produce, but actually fitted inside the cooler... can anyone else see that???.

It looks like scythe has lost their ball in all this heatpipe-hype. All of those heatsinks fail to impress me. Nothing new. Just a bunch of heatpipes in a row. I think Thermolab's Baram has the most impressing design ATM.
