This review is from: Scythe SCMG-3000 120mm Heat Pipe CPU Cooler

Pros:

Light weight for it's size, impressive cooling efficiency, superior cooling than higher priced units.

Cons:

Typical, board removal to install when upgrading (cases that don't have a cut out), not a con during a well thought out build.

Overall Review:

This puppy replaced an Enzotech Extreme X and temps went from 55*C to 49*C during Prime 95 torture testing a Phenom II 955 at 4.2 GHz. To be fair, the air flow is more efficient frt to rear than down to the board in an Antec 900 case (InWinn builds a couple of mid towers that support 4 side 120mm units). Apparently my original build wasn't well thought out. Al in all, this is an excellent choice for over clocking or making your 2 core Athalon II shiver.
