Scythe Infinity Heatpipe CPU Cooler

[Joe42]

I can't prove anything until someone tests it with a high airflow fan high pressure fan.
SPCR didn't use a high speed fan, both the fans they use are low airflow and very low pressure which is why they don't work that well with closely spaced fins.
If someone was asking me for the best aircooling solution its scythe infinity with a delta.

Ninja with 2 slowish fans is what u want

Yep thats what i have and it works great.

Different reviews, different results...as usual

Here, the infinity keeps the processor cooler.

When your talking about basically, a new revision of the same cooler, its prolly gonna (in part) come down to the retard thats testing its stupidity\lazyness that dictates the winner.

Applying paste in a lazy, "i wanna get this review out the door" fashion could well be the answer.

edit- looks like the sites been blanked out? don't think it was a competitor...

In any case, the review showed the infinity was 2 degrees cooler when idle, and 1 degree cooler when at full load

42 - 50
44 - 51

Perhaps that reviewer used a hotter processor which gave it an advantage.

Maybe...

I'll have a look and see what it was, hey in the mean time

I don't spose anyone knows how this Infinty compares to the Tuniqe Tower 120?

Thanks

Tuniq tower is so hard to get hold of that there are hardly any reviews, and none that i can find comparing it with the ninja, infinity or ultra 120.
If your getting a heatsink and want to use a standard 120mm fan, get the thermalright ultra 120.

lol....to late now I've got the infinity coming this morning for me 4000+

Its not a bad chip does 3.12ghz on an Akasa 862!!!! (These cost £8 fro ocuk)

At 1.33volts!!!!

(well i chose 1.35 volts in bios but CPU-Z is reporting 1.328v)
