POSTSCRIPT on Ninja Plus Rev. B (the 3rd version) added Dec 16, 2006 (page 6)
Scythe has been developing large fanless heatsinks that employ heatpipes
for quite some time. Their original NCU-1000 found favor with many silent
PC enthusiasts. The follow-up, the NCU-2000, was an improved version of
the same heatsink.
Their latest kick at the fanless can is another tall heatpipe device with a loosely
spaced fins structure. Unlike the earlier NCU series, which were made only to fit socket 478, the Ninja can be used
with all modern desktop CPU platforms. It is more extreme than anything Scythe
has put out before.
Scythe heatsink designs have always been unique. The Ninja , in some ways, is
almost conventional by Scythe standards, with no dramatic twists or departures
from their previous designs. But it's bigger. A lot bigger. It may not be the
biggest HS you can find in the enthusiast PC cooling market today, but it's
not far off.
BASICS
Unlike many other Scythe heatsinks, Ninja does not appear to be any kind
of play on words.

fanless cooler available in the market!
|
US$50 is competitive. |
|
Light Weight Fanless CPU Cooler
With the given performance level and size of the heatsink, the Ninja cooler
is lightweight fanless cooler available in the market!

It is light for the size.
A lot of the weight is at the base, minimizing the cantilever stress effect
on a vertically installed motherboard. |

Easy one clip and screwless design for the quick and easiest installation
ever! (for socket 478)
|
True only for socket 478.
