Scythe shows off huge new CPU cooler - Orochi

[HEXUS]

There is nothing quite like a new cooler from Scythe - except this one is truly HUGE!

Holy moly!

Although you know, there would still be some room left in my case if I used one of them. I don't think they're trying hard enough. Come on Scythe! I'm not going to be happy until I've got 5 kilos of copper hanging off my poor oh-so-horribly abused motherboard!

*cuts hole in side of case*

Seriously though the temps better be good to justify the size

[Cov]

Sorry, does that fit into my mATX case Silverstone SG01 ?

[h0mes]

that thing is a monster

[Shooty*]

Oh dear god.

It's like Gilette vs Wilkinson Sword.

"Ah ha, our wilkinson Sword protector has TWO blades!"
"Pah, that is nothing. Our Gilette Mach 3 has THREE blades."
"Ok, here's out Wilkinson Quattro! 4 blades! Top that! Bet you can't."
"My god! Four blades! How fiendishly clever... Wait... let's try... FIVE. Yes, 5 blades! Here's the Fusion, with one stupid blade so people can do Craig David style beards!"

I forsee Gilette coming out with the 24 bladed Dual-DoDecahedron Elite Extreme! blade shortly. I'm surprised Wilkinson haven't skipped 6 blades and just straight for 7 already in a novel marketing ploy.

Anyway, sorry, beside the point. Um... that's a bit silly, isn't it? Surely there comes a point when some parts of the heat sink radiator are so far away from teh processor that they don't actually contribute anything, and in fact only prove a hindrance to air flow?

Unless we're all wrong and this thing is meant to cool a motorcycle engine. Or something.

I could test it...

[Hunain]

I really want to see some real world results...

[Shooty*]

Heh. could be the first step towards a cryoarithmetic engine (anyone else an Alistair Reynolds fan?)

I'm sure you would like to see it without its aluminium plating too... the copper skin underneath... you sick, dirty man

[h0mes]

[Blitzen]

I take it its not held on by push pins then?

[The Fury]

Snap. Snap

Could be interesting. Not sure if it would even fit in my case tbh.

Custom PC magazine have had a pop at attaching it:

god damn.

[TAKTAK]

woooooooooahhh, me thinkies that i'll stick with my TRU120E and noctuas (when scan deliver them next month) i can finally overclock.

i think i should not get it as i would just sit there for hours poking it to make sure it was real. or maybe licking it, you never know it might taste like candy try it don't blame me for short circuits caused by saliva though .
