Scythe Orochi Ready to Meet its Competitors

[panchoman]

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!!!

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:

I agree,...a few dollars more and you could go water. I admit though, I am curious as to its performance.

But 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.

 

[jpierce55]

hrm, I just measured, won't fit.

 

[Solaris17]

putting it in perspective ...

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.

 

[das müffin mann]

wow i wanna see W1zz do a review on it, if you dont get some nice clocks with that then...idk

 

[cdawall]

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!!!!

(model not included)

 

[tkpenalty]

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...

the 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?

Not any water worth buying. Water worth buying is still more than twice the price of this.

I'd still go for safety of components

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?

You 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.

or you could look around in the FS/FT here and put together H2O for almost nothing

The Tech Station link was shown for comedic value, not it's pricing. I used the first one in Google.

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?
