The SCKTN-2000 Katana II by Scythe has several cutting edge technologies to help you battle excess CPU heat. Its trio of heatpipes use Oval Fin Contact Structure when increases the surface area between the 6mm copper pipe and the aluminum heat fins to improve heat transfer.

The convection fins are mounted in a downward slanting position so that the over 42 CFM of airflow through the fins also cools adjacent components on the motherboard. The fan utilizes long-lasting sleeve bearings for extended, reliable service and operates at a mere 22 dBA at its maximum 1500 RPM – delivering a ninja-quiet experience.

The fan can be replaced with any other 25mm thick 100mm fan desired for maximum customization. The Katana II can be oriented in any position with its copper base on the heatspreader of the CPU for maximum versatility and effectiveness. It provides cooling support for LGA 775 or Socket 478 Intel processors as well as AMD Athlon 64 K8 CPUs.

Very Good Cooler

Reviewed By: FreakOne on 6/18/2007

Tech Level: high - Ownership: 1 week to 1 month

This user purchased this item from Newegg

Pros: - Fins on cooler are angled down slightly to pass air toward motherboard
- Very quiet
- Price is very good

Cons: - Only 100mm fan
- No fan controller in package
- Cheap thermal paste

Other Thoughts: My CPU is an Intel E6600 and the stock heatsink kept at 54C idle and 69C after 30 min of playing Oblivion. Installed this heatsink and my heat is now at 32C idle and 34C after 30 min of playing Oblivion.

Great cooler for LGA 775

Reviewed By: on 12/22/2007

Tech Level: high - Ownership: 1 day to 1 week

This user purchased this item from Newegg

Pros: Gets the job done nicely. Keeps my e6400 @3.2ghz at around 42C under load. Slightly more powerful than my previous freezer 7.

Cons: AMD (939,AM2) retention bracket sucks. It does such a poor job, that the heatsink fell off the motherboard during use. No PWM.

Forgot something.

Reviewed By: Exigent on 5/23/2009

Tech Level: high - Ownership: more than 1 year

Pros: Forgot to mention that the load temps were 40c in warm weather. It stay around 33-34 idle in 26c room temp.

Cons: Stated below.

Other Thoughts: Careful with the pushpins or you may break them because of the size. Due to un-mounting and re-mounting I had to salvage a pushpin from my cpu's default heatsink.

Pretty nice.

Reviewed By: Exigent on 5/23/2009

Pros: Great cooling even in warmer weather tempetures. I'm currently in a small room right now so the heat builds up quickly (I have a room fan to keep in managable, haha.). Generally It'll keep it at 40c which might seem hot, but my room is also 28c on warm day. Cooler days it wont budge past 30 and i've had it down to 25c in the winter.

Cons: BIG. I really like that it cools well, but I dislike the fact that the case I have makes it very difficult to mount. Unless you have small hands or very dexterous I wouldn't recomend putting it in a anything other than a big case.

Other Thoughts: Wish it came with a fan control.

great heatsink

Reviewed By: on 5/7/2009

Tech Level: high - Ownership: 1 month to 1 year

This user purchased this item from Newegg

Pros: great heatsink, absolutely overkill for the BE-2350 I have, but it was at a sale price and had free postage.

Cons: CPU runs too cold to cook bacon on, must use a frying pan on the stove instead. Running folding at home at the moment and sitting about 40C. No complaints.

Other Thoughts: Wasn't the easiest install job on an AM2 board, but didn't take longer than a few minutes. I didn't use the heatsink goop that came with it, but then I never do.
