Scythe makes new Ninja to fit AM2 processors!

I talked to Scythe a few days ago and found out that they are making a new Ninja to fit the AM2 socket. It will be released within the next 3-5 months. They will not make a separate adapter to hold the current Ninja in place on the AM2.

3 to 5 months seems like quite a wait for an adapted mounting bracket! Other companies already have coolers out fot this socket, wonder why the delay...? Bit annoying as I'm gonna build an AM2 system in a week or two, but I'll have to stick with the stock cooler for a fair while

Do you have any suggestions for AM2 motherboards for gaming?

Hello,

Here's a link:

The copper version is the same design as the current model; not the AM2 version. I'm also curious about the shorter version?

Its a joke! A copper Ninja would be too heavy (it says if you read the little sign below the cooler) as it'd break the mobo. Cooling potential would be pretty good though!

it would work perfectly (the copper ninja) when bolted through the motherboard instead of clip-on

but the main drawback is not weight, it's cost and performance, not that much better than the alcu version (1-3Â°c) but much more expensive to make.

when I asked Scythe about the Copper Ninja at Cebit they almost ignored it completely, it is just to show-off what is possible, they *might* make a few dozen of them and send them off to extreme enthusiasts, but it won't make it into a mainstream product.

Is the Scythe Ninja Rev. B shorter than 150mm?

Another qn: Is NCU-3000 releasing any time soon?

Lastly: NCU-2005 or Ninja Micro ?

awesome, is that short ninja coming out then? (any ETA?)
how tall is it.. seems good for m-atx

mini Ninja is made for HTPC, so it's surely smaller

RevB only changes mounting nothing more

NCU is proto type...

What about the mini ninja? Will it mount on AM2?

jmke · Post by **jmke** » Mon Apr 16, 2007 9:33 am

it has universal mounting, so yes, AM2 compatible.

Yes it's too bad, I might get another heat sink.
