Scythe Katana Cu Heatsink Review

(All tests were conducted with case side on and after one day of installation to allow the Arctic Silver Ceramique to set up. The ambient room temperature was 71.6*F. 100% load was applied using PRIME 95.)

Conclusion
All things considered the external fan controller in an open pci slot it is fairly decent to use. Even with the fan running at full power, I could barely hear a whisper.

The Scythe Katana Cu Heatsink is very versatile, and cost effective. For around $30 this is a very good investment for a quiet, efficient heatsink. There are key features that make this a very good Heatsink. First the quality of the construction and the efficiency. Both of wich will make this a excelent purchase vrs some of the older competitors.
