Scythe Ninja Personal Opinions

First Look: My Ninja arrives today. Upon first impression, I'm kinda disappointed. It looks cheaply and flimsy made. It's HUGE, yes, VERY VERY huge. Sitting next to my TR SLK947U, the TR is very puny. However, it can't help over the fact that the discs are very thin an flimsy. The top one have one corner bent. I have to bend it back. I expect them to be a lot heavier and have a more solid structure. Will look forward how it performs when installs in my P180.

Performace: TBD.

Sorry guys, I don't have any pics because I loan my digicam to my folks on their vacation oversea. I won't get it back till the end of this month **HOPEFULLY**

Are yours the same too?

That's just part of the design. It helps keep the weight down as it's a heafty cooler already.

i know what you mean, nkcd, but i do feel once you install it and dont look at it, you will be quite please with the performance...i am running it without a 120mm fan on it, just using the exhaust fan and PSU fan to suck the air out through it... i will try to post pictures by tomorrow

In agreement with TWsuperG 100%. Granted, my cpu runs a few degrees hotter now than with the xp-90 (with high-perf delta) in my old modded chieftec case, I now have silence and performance. I think you will like the "ninja" also.

wow i love the ninja .. with a low flow fan on it .. it absolutely kills my xp120 with a loud 120

TWsuperG · Oct 1, 2005

here is some pictures on how mine is used without a 120mm fan mounted...

Are you able to close the door to the case? Those pics makes it seem like the door would just barely close.

TWsuperG · Oct 1, 2005

yes, I can close it, its about 3mm away from touching the inner case cover. I was not expecting the size to be this massive, but am glad it fits. i will try to take some pictures of it closing and barely touching (good thing my top panel is removeable.

That cooler born to be on that case !!!!

I think the term is delicate not flimsy LOL.
The Ninja was in the group of HS's that outperformed a lot of well known brands. Good Buy!

Notice it has 12 pipes compared to 5 line the TRs and a lot more fin surface area.

Shadowknight281 · Oct 2, 2005

Mmm... I think the "12" heatpipes are actually 6 U-shaped ones. But I guess they perform the same ???

Yes I think they are U shaped but you can see that 12 do leave the thermal interface. It's a slick system.
