Scythe Infinity or Mine?

You can use a 14cm fan with the Mine, which is always good thing.

It may fit your build, but apart from the height (common to many other tower coolers)) it is also wide in both directions, which will cause problems with some motherboards - and some cases which may have plenty of clearance for the height.

Eh??????
The dimensions on the Mine are slightly less than the Ninja? Its no wider than ANY of the decent tower coolers out there.
The only one is the Asksa effort. All the ASUS and Scythes are bigger in width dimensions.

As right stated above aswell....it ships with a 100mm fan but this can be changed with any other (as long as its 25mm wide).

Use a 140mm fan and you increase both height and width. Not to mention the extra cost.

Here is a quote from the SilentPC Review, "The Mine is clearly not at the same level as our favorite tower heatsinks, which employ a 120mm fan with 30% greater fin area than a 100mm fan, thus providing greater airflow even at lower RPM and at similar noise levels. Both the Ninja and the HR-01 outperform the Mine significantly at the same noise level.". 'Nuff said.

Believe what you read...i ACTUALLY use it........
No-one has mentioned a 140mm fan as the 100mm one provided is MORE than adequate.......
Have you read the specs?
Have you used a Mine?
Have you seen one working?

I would guess no.


Thats Nuff Said!

ash_rm mentioned a 14cm fan (which if you were clever you would have realised was the same as a 140mm fan) and you agreed that it could be used with another fan. Honestly if you're going to tell blatant untruths there's no point in debating with you.

I've used the Ninja and not the Mine. You've used the Mine, have you used the Ninja?

ok guys, i am steering more towards either the ninja or infinity can anyone post the load temps for all three? mine, ninja and infinity. If I get the quad core then it will be necessary to pick the coolest one

[staffsMike]

With the ninja my B9 stepping quad was 33 - 36 idle between all 4 cores and 50 - 55 under load at stock.

That is using AS5.

Obviously go for the G0 if you're air cooling..well go with it anyway lol

I went with the ninja for two systems. My thinking for the first system (e6600) was if it can run passive(which with that chip it can) then it must be a good cooler.

Fot the quad i got the ninja as i was so impressed with it the first time.. It kept the e6600 below 20 degrees with the fan lol (stock settings)

Scythe Mine is spec provided in avatar.

29-30 Idle
36-39 Load

I have good case cooling and airflow aswell so that must help.
