Installation

Users will first need to attach the appropriate mounting arms to install the Scythe Katana 4. A push-pin design is used for Intel systems; it takes four small screws to secure each mounting arm properly.


With the cooler properly prepared, users need to apply the thermal paste before mounting the cooler. The push-pin design makes mounting the cooler ridiculously easy.


All that is left now is to simply attach the fan using the included fan clips, plugging it into the CPU fan header. You have, with that done, successfully installed the Scythe Katana 4 - it really is that easy.

The push-pin mounting hardware Scythe uses with the Katana 4 is extremely simple and straightforward. I would rate the installation process a 10 on a scale of 1 (hardest) to 10 (easiest). Its simple push-pin design makes this cooler as easy to install as the stock cooler Intel includes with their processors.
