If you take a look at the processor compatibility list, you realize that pretty much every of today's CPUs is supported - and that at no additional cost for mounting kits or similar things.

Packaging



Box contents:
  • CPU Cooler Heatsink
  • 120 mm fan
  • Fan mounting clips
  • Mounting clips 939/AM2, 775, 478
  • Instruction manual



This is one of the biggest coolers on the market. To give you an idea how big it is we put a Socket775 CPU on top of it.


The cooler's base plate is protected by a transparent blue plastic foil which is easily removed. This ensures that you receive an absolutely perfect shiny contact surface.
You can see that Scythe is paying a lot of attention to the contact area. It is very flat and perfectly smooth.


Five copper heatpipes are used to transport heat away from the CPU to the heatsink fins.
