Scythe Announces Grand Kama Cross CPU Cooler
Scythe is announcing today a new High-End TOP-Flow CPU Cooler by the name "Grand Kama Cross", which is the successor of former Kama Cross CPU Cooler. Grand Kama Cross is based on an X Structure layout using total of four 8 mm copper heatpipes for fast transfer of heat from the copper base to the aluminum fins. Thanks to the X Structure Design, easier mounting on CPU sockets as well as higher compatibility to tall RAM and Northbridge coolers are accomplished. By using the angled fin shape, airflow is redirected to allow additional cooling of surrounding components such as RAM, Northbridge and Voltage Regulators. For the optimum airflow, new Slip Stream 140 mm fan is first introduced with Grand Kama Cross CPU Cooler. PWM support allows flexible fan speed in a range between 500 and 1,300 rpm, automatically controlled by the motherboard creating airflow from 46 to 119 m³/h and accordingly 27.2 to 69.93 CFM. Both Slip Stream 140 mm fan and Grand Kama Cross CPU Cooler are using standard 120 mm fan mounting holes which allow the use of common aftermarkets 120 mm case fans as a replacement.
Grand Kama Cross CPU Cooler supports current Intel socket 478, LGA775, LGA1156 and LGA1366 as well as AMD socket 754, 939, AM2, AM2+, AM3 and 940. By using MSMC (Multiplatform Socket Mounting Clips), Grand Kama Cross CPU Cooler can be mounted in four different directions to further increase the compatibility.
Grand Kama Cross CPU Cooler (Model-No. SCKC-2000) is available for 29,50 EUR (MSRP, excl. VAT) or US$ 45.00 (MSRP, excl. TAX).

Depending on price I'll probably give this a go
I don't like the design at all, but then again it is different. I guess the fins would direct airflow onto the ram and the VRM of the motherboard.
As design looks inefficient but scythe tends to make above average cooling products D:
Would anyone else like to see a shroud around the fan so it all blows through the fins?
rather then out the sides .....
( Small things have greater surface area)
Sneeky gets shite like this for review eh? Sneeky any chance of if you do get this, getting on of those fan focusers by nexus and see if it makes a difference ?
A combination of one of those hex things ( nexus make them I think) and this cooler could work.
Yay found em

They just make sure all the air goes in one direction, I've seen a smoke test with these where one was placed on a top exhaust fan and the smoke reached up to twice as high as it was more directional :D
At least somebody out there is thinking outside the box :toast:
