The Scythe SCKTN-1000 Katana
After seeing the VapoChill Micro ThermoSiphon roll out this past summer, Scythe has started out recently in Asia with the Katana 1000. :)
Basically, it's the same foot-print as the Micro, but in a heat-pipe kind of way. :dome: http://www.dosv-net.com/SCKTN1000/SCKTN-1000_5.jpg http://www.dosv-net.com/SCKTN1000/SCKTN-1000.jpg http://www.dosv-net.com/SCKTN1000/SCKTN-1000_1.jpg http://www.dosv-net.com/SCKTN1000/SCKTN-1000_2.jpg http://www.dosv-net.com/SCKTN1000/SCKTN-1000_3.jpg http://www.dosv-net.com/SCKTN1000/SCKTN-1000_4.jpg Performance? I can't read Asian script. :( The only English I've found is: CPU: Intel 370/478/775/ all Xeon's, AMD 462/754/939/940. Heat-pipe fin area: 98x96x130 (very much the same as Micro) Fan: 92x92x25 / 2000rpm / 25dBA / 35.12CFM (like the Micro) Weight: 300g (55g less than Micro) Price: 2,800 Yen / $30 Euro / $33USD Only time will tell if this product is successful and comes to the shores of North America. |

$33.00 US seems good if its a solid product ;) I order R/C stuff from Hong Kong and Tokyo all the time, its not hard to get stuff from Asia over here.

A review will be out soon. Bio-Hazard has been busy with it.
I'm not sure what's been written, but I'll post the link here when the review gets out. Stev |
Re: The Scythe SCKTN-1000 Katana
Any word on the copper version's performance? I've seen few reviews sofar on it. Performance seems very good though.

Re: The Scythe SCKTN-1000 Katana
This one actually performs pretty impressive. I am using the Al version in my 2.3G 3200+ with a 1500 rpm fan.
Since the fin gaps are wider than SI/XP series HSF, this one would perform way better when combine with slower fan. |
Re: The Scythe SCKTN-1000 Katana
It's nice a lightweight, and since you can mount it in any direction, you angle it up to take better advantage of the heatpipes. I really think that makes a difference. Great product for the price.
I'd like to see test on the copper version and how mounting in different directions influences cooling capacity. Here's the SPCR Review: http://www.silentpcreview.com/article271-page1.html |
