Scythe Releases Fuma Twin-Tower CPU Cooler
Japanese cooling expert Scythe announces the availability of it's new Fuma Twin-Tower CPU-Cooler. The new model combines a compact Twin-Tower design with total height of mere 149 millimeters and impressive cooling performance. The compact tower-design allows the Scythe Fuma to easily fit into most on-market PC chassis, making it a great choice for both enthusiast and gaming systems. Fuma is supplied with two Scythe Slip Stream 120-mm PWM fans and another fan clip set for a third fan.
Scythe Engineers successfully created a compact but powerful Twin-Tower heatsink with a total height of 149 millimetres. The new Fuma utilizes 6 high-quality-copper-heatpipes with 6-millimeter diameter. Scythe has soldered the heatpipes to the solid copper-baseplate and the small cooler-block, to increase contact area and maximize the heat-transfer. Both copper-heatpipes and copper-base-plate have been nickel-plated in a final step.
In order to offer great performance at low noise levels, two Slip Stream 120 mm fans with PWM-support are delivered with Scythe Fuma. The fans are offering a really wide fan speed range from 300 up to 1.400 RPM. Thanks to this wide range, a system using Fuma Twin-Tower CPU Cooler can be tuned to operate really silent or to boost the performance to the maximum, whenever it is required. Users are able to mount a third fan using the supplied third fan clip set, making the Fuma an amazingly versatile CPU cooler. In spite of being a Twin-Tower heatsink attached with two fans, Scythe Fuma is reaching a total weight of only 920 Grams.
New Fuma utilizes the approved back-plate based Hyper Precision Mounting System (H.P.M.S) for firm mounting and easy installation process. The socket compatibility list features AM2, AM2+, AM3, AM3+, FM1, FM2 and FM2+ from AMD as well as sockets LGA775, LGA1150, LGA1151, LGA1155, LGA1156, LGA1366, LGA2011 and 2011(-v3) from Intel. Scythe supplies the Fuma with all required mounting clips, one wrench, three sets of fan clips, one Y-fan-adapter as well as thermal grease and a manual.
Scythe Fuma (Model No. SCFM-1000) CPU Cooler is available as of today. Suggested retail price is set at 39,00 EUR (excl. Taxes).

I'm using deepcools assassin which this looks to be based/inspired off of.
anyone know who was 1st to market this design and/or who copied who ?
just curious :D
That D14 was my first HSF over $50 and I made a few tests with 1 fan in both positions and 2 fans installed: only 1-2°C difference for a Core i7-920 clocked at 4GHz.
3 fans is not just an overkill, it will also make your system louder (even at low RPM).
But the dual towers design is nothing new. Scythe Mine and Tuniq Tower 120 arrived in 2006 but not as big as IFX/D14 and only support single middle fan (although IFX/D14 are basically Mine/Tuniq design with 2 more fans attached via metal wires).
Scythe Mine 2 in 2011 is more bulkier and looking more like D14.
They still sell a variant.

that back cooler would knock a few more deg off the socket too. i hacked a hole into the roof of my cm690 so it would fit xD
I have a Scythe CPU Cooler here that I never used. (MugenMax)
I saw this post and went looking for it. Maybe I'll use it with the FX-6300 I'm planning.
twin tower is good for cooling but at some point you hard to stand on their weight
Clunky & sharp motherboard breakers - that's my point of view right now. :)
