Abstract: The Scythe Mine Rev.B is a funny looking cooler, with a 100mm fan at the center and two separate columns of aluminum cooling fins on either side.
Abstract: 108 Scythe was nice enough to send us a couple of things to review. First was the Kama Connect, which was review a few weeks back. Today, we are going to take a look at their Mine Cooler Rev. B. When you look at the package for the first time, you see...
Abstract: Scythe is a newcomer to the U.S. cooling market, and is trying to establish itself as the go-to company for monstrous heatsinks that—like Zalman’s—offer quiet cooling. We reviewed the company’s Ninja Plus cooler in July, and were impressed by its sile...
Abstract: Scythe has been the most prolific heatsink manufacturer recently, and we think we know why: Theyre cross-breeding their existing heatsinks to produce new ones. The Mine is the offsping of a Ninja and a Kamakiri, with genes from the Samurai Z mixed in....

Abstract: Today we are testing the most fresh and interesting coolers that have (or are about to) appeared on the retail shelves. They all reflect different approaches of manufacturers to creating cooling systems. For instance, Scythe keeps using the concept of ...
Quiet!, Uses stock heatsink retention bracket, Effective, Mirror finish to the all copper base, Ingenious socket adapter installation, Solid,
Large, Thats it folks. The Scythe Mine cooler is with out a doubt, a cooler that I can recommend to friends and strangers alike. The cooler was easy to install, quiet and light. The copper base was not only smooth but had a mirror like finish. The only gr...
Pretty mindless enjoyment when installing this cooler. Scythe has made it that easy. So far, so good but lets see how the cooler performs. Shall we? For starters, I took down the temperatures while the PC sat at idle and then again when under a full lo...
