[helmutcheese]

QUOTED :


" Japan-based company Scythe has now released the second generation Ninja CPU cooler. Dubbed simply Ninja 2, the new cooling contraption is said to offer a 5% performance increase in fanless operation and 15% performance increase in active cooling operation over its predecessor and it features a heatsink with a generous aluminum fin array and six all-copper heatpipes plus an 120mm fan which works at 1000 rpm (rotations per minute).

Measuring 116 x 116 x 152 mm and weighting in 820 grams (fan included), the Ninja 2 is codenamed SCNJ-2000 and it is compatible with Intel LGA 775, socket 478 and AMD socket 754 939, 940 and AM2(+) motherboards. "

That thing is a monster!!! I wonder if the backplate has to cover the whole mobo

Based on the comparison in size to the 120mm fan attached it's near enough the same size as the old Ninja, in fact, the only difference I can see is that they've spaced out the 12 heatpipes.

6 pipes, in a U shape so 12 ends you are counting.

I have the Scythe Infinity and want to get rid of it cos its too big.
With a fan on it overlaps the Ram slots on my DS3 motherboard so i have to shift the fans upwards.

I think they should have worked on reducing the size.

I'd love to see if those performance figures are realistic. Spacing out the heatpipes can only do so much.

I'd have liked to have seen a 140mm model with Xigmatek direct touch style heatpipes.

Soome we'll be needing a case just for the coolers
