Just swapped my Scythe Ninja for a MINE

The ninja was to big for me to mount my fan near the memory slots and near the nothbridge. I decided to buy the Scythe MINE and have positioned it so the comes out of my Silverstone TJ07 via the two 120mm air vents at the top. I have turned those 120mm fans off.

I have kept the rear 92mm fans on at 5V and my temps are 23deg C idle, with a 92mm fan at 1000rpm inside the MINE. The ninja was getting 26deg C with the two 120mm fans on the top on, and it was fairly audiable. My current configuration is much quieter.

Load temps I get around 33deg C. With the ninja it I got 46 deg C. I think the MINE is a great purchase but I cannot install a 120mm fan beacuse I can't get the side panel back on. I have therefore installed a YS Tech 92mm fan.

Also the LGA775 mounting is brilliant. I don't need to remove my motherboard from my case like the ninja.

Small size comapred to ninja
Quieter than ninja while achieving low temps

Cannot install 120mm fan


I cannot wait for the Conroe. I can then run the fan at 600rpm and make it almost silent.
