The Scythe Orochi is a new heat sink that has 10 HUGE copper heatpipes to help improve cooling. The cooler has dimensions of 120x194x155mm and weighs well over a Kg. A huge 140mm fan can be mounted on top of the heatsink, or vertically; this allowing for up to three of them working together. All sockets are supported (Intel P4 478/775 and AMD Athlon64 754/939/940/AM2/AM2+).

woah. If there was ever a time for motherboards to hide in fear from being snapped in half by coolers, this is the time.

Edit: looking at the picture of that installed, does it even fit inside a normal case?

[bubba]

at 155mm in hight it's 1/8" shorter than the NV120, no way you will get a fan on top of it, side maybe.

Still friggin massive, I want to see the back plate and retaining system for that mother in person.

Looked closer at the link... 1155g less fan, add another 130g for the fan. Weighs 2.5Lbs with out the fan


here is a little size compare

And just how are you suppose to work on your system inside a case with that monster installed..................

Bubba- looks like you found a cooler for the riddle box. lol

[bubba]

yah LOL I could paint the case like a car hood and have the cooler stick out the top like a blower.

[Bio-Hazard]

LOL.....If you did it right with a fresh air scoop, it just might look super cool...............

Holy Crap! That thing is MASSIVE! IMO, thats just way too much weight. I'm sure it cools great, but at what expense...With todays technology they could and should do better.

[stopthekilling77]

no offense but @#$& that.

no way would i want that thing crushing my chip.
cough watercooling cough

[martini161]

i second that. watercooling ftw

You need a case you can dedicate a side cut to match it perfectly when it's closed. I'd put that in my woody case as it has almost nothing in it and I coud just cut the hole directly out so it just blew all the hot air right out of the case. Still way huge though. I wouldn't put that in any case with more than just a sata hd and sata optical in it. You'd have to have a modular psu and just he bare minimum coming off of it to have the room for the cords.

Bubba that was the best idea i have heard in a long time- of course you will need to put flames on the front..

ok, there is no way im fitting that in my BTX without.....well...buying a new Full-tower ATX.

They keep going bigger and bigger their gonna have to find a way to mount additional support to the motherboard tray. I mean what's the point of having a sweet looking system if ya gotta have a wooden dowel propping up the cpu cooler?

You could just keep it laying beside the case, maybe the gravitational forces emanating from it will pull the heat into the black hole at it's center.

[stev]

That's like ... HUGE!

[bubba]

OMG this things price is as big as the cooler $78.80 MSRP

The latest CPU's run cooler than ever and yet they keep making bigger and bigger heatsinks... That's not even an interesting design, I mean... let's just take our old cooler, make it twice as big and voilà!

Also, what's the point of 2 side fans, won't it just make the hot air stay inside? 1 on the side + top makes some sense, but 3... no

Maybe you would mount the fans to blow away from the cooler creating a low pressure vacuum type cooling. Idk, but that's crazy stuff right there....a tornado in your case
