Scythe is really known for their air CPU Coolers, and we've tested a good handful over the past couple of years. Today we are checking out their Grand Kama Cross 3, which has a very unique design. While the design is a little unconventional, it might actually turn out to be a very effective cooler. The unique design is what Scythe calls their X-Struktur design that makes use of two large heatsinks, 4 large 8mm-thick copper heatpipes, and a 140 mm GlideStream 140 PWM fan. Let's see what the Grand Kama Cross 3 can do!

Japanese cooling expert Scythe launches the 5th Generation of its legendary Ninja CPU Cooler Series. Scythe bundles the Ninja 5 with two Kaze Flex 120 PWM fans with the goal to offer a significantly more silent solution without compromising the high performance that users expect from the Ninja Series.

Japanese cooling expert Scythe presents the significantly improved "Mark II" version of its Kotetsu CPU Cooler. While keeping the basic design of the predecessor, Kotetsu Mark II comes with both visual and technical improvements.

Today we are checking out one of Scythe's larger cooler in the Mugen 5. It has a single tower heatsink design with six large copper heatpipes and a 120 mm cooling fan.

Today we have a new air CPU cooler on the test bench today. It comes from Scythe who we know for some pretty impressive CPU coolers in the past. The cooler is the Byakko, which means "White Tiger" in Japanese. The Byakko is designed for ultimate compatibility in all systems as it has a height of only 130 mm. It is your typical tower cooler with three 6 mm heatpipes and a 92 mm fan.

Today we are back with another CPU cooler from our friends at Scythe. The Kabuto 3 is a refined version of their very popular Kabuto 2 top-flow CPU cooler. Scythe has designed this cooler to deliver uncompromised performance with compact dimensions and maximum compatibility. They have taken extensive customer feedback on the previous version of the cooler and hope to make it better not only performance-wise, but also to improve user experience. The Kabuto 3 is a top-flow CPU cooler which sets the heatsink stack in a horizontal position rather than a vertical one like we see in tower coolers. This design is great for small form factor builds as it is not as tall as tower coolers. Sitting on top of the cooler is one of Scythe's GlideStream 120 mm cooling fans. Let's jump in and see what this cooler can do!

Japanese cooling expert Scythe presents the fifth version of the Mugen CPU Cooler, which has been fitted with significant improvements. The Mugen has been one of the most popular CPU coolers on the market for a long time. Scythe was able to ramp up the performance even further with Mugen 5 and at the same time equip the heatsink with a unique new fan. Supplied Kaze Flex 120 PWM fan features noise reduction rubber-insulators in the corners, dynamic fan speed range from 300 to 1.200 rpm as well as a brand-new Sealed Precision FDB bearing, allowing smooth and silent operation at all times.

Japanese cooling expert Scythe announces a new addition to the tower-design CPU cooler line-up. Scythe Byakko is a compact cooling solution with a total height of mere 130 millimeters, which fits in virtually every PC case. Great compatibility is assured thanks to the asymmetric alignment of the base-plate and the heatsink. Byakko is equipped with Scythes Slip Stream 92 PWM fan, offering a wide speed range for different purposes. User friendly and fast mounting of Byakko on both Intel and AMD Sockets is accomplished thanks to the supplied mounting clips.

I am a pretty big fan of Scythe CPU coolers. While the company is not all that well known here in the United States their coolers perform quite well and are priced quite aggressively compared to some of the other big name cooling companies out there. Today on the review block we have the Scythe Fuma CPU Cooler. This is a dual-tower cooler that features two of Scythe's own Slip Stream 120 mm PWM fans, six 6 mm copper heatpipes, and Scythe's Hyper Precision Mounting System. Is this the CPU cooler for your next build? Read on as we find out!

Japanese cooling expert Scythe announces today the third version of the famous TOP-Flow-CPU-Cooler Scythe Kabuto. Scythe engineers have revamped the heatsink design as well as the heatsink structure of the Kabuto 3 and incorporated a hybrid heatpipe system. This hybrid system consists of two 6 mm and three 8 mm high-quality copper heatpipes. Compatibility to high-end memory modules has been an important aspect when designing the Kabuto 3, which is a big advantage compared to the predecessor.
