New Scythe Heatsink -- GODHAND

jhhoffma · Post by **jhhoffma** » Mon Mar 09, 2009 10:11 am

I don't like to embed images from other websites, so here's some links that cover it along with the Ninja GPU cooler...

...OK, maybe just one to whet your appetites.

Yeah, it's a 250mm HSF combo...pretty much makes the Orochi it's beyatch.

Here's the links:

That's more like the size-12 steel toe boot of God smiting the fires of Inhell.

SPCR never reviewed the Orochi, did they?

At any rate, there are two major differences I can see vs. the Orochi:

1) It has much narrower fin spacing. This may be worse for low-airflow situations and thus slience.
2) Is has much more space between the top part of the heatsink and the smaller heatsink that sits directly on top of the processor. I'm not sure what this will mean.

It seems like they have made now some changes based on things learned from Orochi. In most cases Orochi only few one way, thanks to Heat pipes, even P182 had some problems because heat pipes. It seems Godhand has been designed as big as possible but to be more compatible than Orochi was...

I can already hear the sound of motherboards snapping...

i think they've gone well beyond the point of practicality.

Probably would work passively, though.

What mechanism is there to mount your motherboard onto this cooling device?

burebista · Post by **burebista** » Tue Mar 10, 2009 6:33 am

A crane?

Push-pins of course

this gives me a manhood complex.

Seeing as that was an AMD motherboard, it was screwed to the mounting bracket.

but,...

PUSH PINS!!

CPU cooler-cum-helicopter

Plekto · Post by **Plekto** » Tue Mar 10, 2009 2:36 pm

Wait... if I count correctly, that's *20* heatpipes!

I was joking a bit about it being good for a passive setup, but I bet it really *would* run better without that fan. It's gotta be so close to being a "wall" to the air around it that the normal exhaust fans should move about as much air as that silly fan does(what - it blows the air up an inch which then it hits the side of the case?)

Hi,

I think there "just" 10 heatpipes?

Zenphic · Post by **Zenphic** » Tue Mar 10, 2009 4:37 pm

I doubt that this will actually be sold. Scythe's been making prototypes like these and showcasing them at shows for a while already.

I lol'ed at the name though.

I think it's better if they made some refinements on their Orochi cooler and make it work with the 1366 socket.

That cpu cooler was already really heavy.

IMO, I think Scythe's trying to get higher performance with the easy and lazy way: "Just make it bigger". They should put more effort into research and design.

~El~Jefe~ · Post by **~El~Jefe~** » Thu Mar 12, 2009 7:45 pm

eh.

Most coolers we see on spcr vary in incremental ways. There's not a huge difference, only in the degree to which they can be passively or near passively cooled.

This thing has some promise. It is what I always said a manufacturer should do, just one huge heatsink. An aluminum one with very thin blades for less weight.

You mean something like this?

Can you imagine how hard it would be to install this thing?

This coolers size is ridiculous. It's far too small.

Which is the reason we never going to see that in market... You just wait until you see Godhand II, which propeller has been borrowed from AH-64 Apache... and has push-pin's ^^

I love a good sense of humour, anyway; Iâ€™ll be waiting for the copper version myself.

When do they finally bring Silver heatsinks? Copper stinks.

And how about Mercury cooling?

I know that you're joking, but to be fair about this, know that silver is only slightly more conductive (thermally) than copper and cost much more and is heavier to boot. If you really wanted to pay for your cooling, you need a diamond heatsink, which in some cases is about 6 times more conductive than silver!!

thejamppa · Post by **thejamppa** » Sun Mar 22, 2009 8:35 am

So basicly just slap Koh-I-Noor with thermal adhessive on CPU... That won't cost much... ^^

Diamond? Pffff. What you want is a carbon nanotube heatsink.
