Scythe is looking for a stealth kill on the competition with their new Ninja 4 CPU cooler. Featuring a massive Tower, it can run semi-passive or with dual fans. Versatile and deadly, it looks to beat the heat and the competition.

It looks absolutely amazing, but it gets beaten by their own Mugen MAX, which has similar performance and price but doesn't cover ram slots at all.
Still, that is one silent unit. Dayum, i love Scythe products.
Btw. it seems Grandis is leading price/performance wise in best performing coolers.
SPC recently released their Fortis 3 cooler, do you think you would be able to get it reviewed? Ask them to send you one please!

Benchmark Scores Don't know any benchmark. It runs good enough for me.
It is amazing what it can do with just one fan. Have you tried putting 2 fans on it or even 4 fans with one at each side?

The CM212 Evo is good enough; the price differencial is enough to convince in the UK! I'm reliably at 4.4GHz with the 212 but have no energy use to offer.

The Raijintek coolers present a possible alternative though...

Yes scythe ninja coolers are known to be able to run passively but I would recommend putting the fan speed to low. That will be much better and you cannot hear the noise at low.
