    Scythe Orochi

    LOL. Your eyes aren't decieving you, check out this badboy. Well, huge boy. Doesn't look like it does so well. But it's being called a decent passive solution. Wow, some designers may need to find another career man!!

    The review sez its a good HSF for people who don't like to use a case!!! lol, I know there's folks who don't, but wow, lol.

    Penewah!

    That heatsink is 155mm in height, which (without that fan) should fit in a lot of cases. I think the Xclio Windtunnel case would be perfect for that heatsink.

    All I have to say is dang......

    Re: Scythe Orochi

    Damn there gunna have to start building cases 12 inches wide lol. I mean damn that a hugh heatsink and i bet it weighs about 5-10pounds. I hope that heatsink keeps a CPU in the 20's atleast because if not its really not worth it.

     Oh and even if its in a case there goes most of your airflow lol, you better have water cooling.

    Re: Scythe Orochi

    If this trend continues, you'll be buying motherboards with one huge heatsink on them, to cover the CPU, chipsets, RAM, etc. LOL

    Re: Scythe Orochi

    From the reviews I've seen it doesn't cool as well as some of the current high end coolers despite its huge size. If your looking for the best passive cooler around this think takes the cake I'm sure.

    But man it sure looks impressive.
