Scythe Ninja

A passive CPU coooler that silently ensures your PC won't overheat

Apart from some great product names, Scythe stands out from other cooler manufacturers because of the sheer size of its products.

Its latest offering, the Ninja, is a passive CPU cooler, weighing 650g and standing an impressive 150mm high when upright. The Ninja uses six copper pipes to dissipate heat, but we have a few words of warning regarding this cooler.

Although it’s compatible with Socket 748, 775, 754, 939 and 940 CPUs, you have to be careful using the Ninja in its passive state. If you are using it with a standard Pentium 4 Northwood or an Athlon 64 3500+ processor or lower, then you should be fine, but any higher powered processor will require the optional 120mm fan.
