Scythe Katana Cu Heatsink Review

The PC air cooling market is getting some stiff competition from liquid cooling products.. Liquid cooling products are becoming more and more inexpensive while shrinking in size, which is giving air coolers a run for their money. Scythe began its operation and business in November of 2002 as is a distributor and manufacturer of PC parts & gaming devices for “DIY PC Experts!”. Scythe became recognized as the leading CPU cooler supplier in Japan’s Akihabara Electric Town. Due to popular demand, Scythe began exporting products all over the world shortly thereafter. Scythe USA began in Northern California, and moved to LA to work closer to and with the manufacturers to streamline logistics to better serve their US-based partners.

Scythe has since released several very impressive products for both CPU cooling and VGU cooling. Today we will have the chance to check out one of their newest copper Heatsinks, The Katana Cu.
