Scythe Orochi Ready to Meet its Competitors
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.
The picture on the right looks shopped even though I know it is real.
The pic where it's sitting on the motherboard looks a bit intimidating don't ya think :twitch:
but seriously what case would that actually fit? it looks a monster.It definatly wouldnt fit my case.
i'd like to see some benchmarks on this to see the cooling performance.
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's like Unicron of the Transformers, mass so big that other cpu coolers orbit around it!
I like the way the have held it down, so it does not fall over :p
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:
