Thideras's Scythe Orochi review

[Omsion]

I don't understand what you mean.

Orientation should not affect performance.

Instead of fan on top blowing down, fan on the side (ala Ninja, TRUE, etc). Although i guess the way the heatsink is shaped probably makes that really ineffective (that cut-away halfway down).

I can test it, but I don't think it will matter. There is a heatsink at the bottom that helps in heat dissipation that wouldn't be used if the air was moving parallel to the board.

could you pour some LN2 on the fins and then test it







I'm really looking forward to the review of this beast

DY, that's not a good idea, heatpipe heatsinks have adverse affects at cold temperatures like 10c down.

He was kidding lol. But what would happen to them? They are gas filled, right?

I read a thread on XS where they where benching outside and found that the heatpipes froze up, and I thought they had a material inside with some kind of liquid, i'm not too sure.

having the board in an up-right position to me is more a test to see if the heatsink is too heavy. from what ive seen it just uses push pins right? or does it have a back plate? thats the biggest thing holding it back i think.

if you look closly at T's pic, the last one he posted. it is using the "clips" ala socket 478, with 90% sure a backplate. as my ninja came with a backplate while using the same "clips" to be held in place.

You are correct, they are clips. It is similar to 478 I guess.

It is similar to 478 I guess.

not simlilar it is for socket 478 with a included brackets to work on lga775.

That core damage program makes my 24/7 p95.4 BSOD! I guess im not stable anymore....

And that HS is huge! There has to be a point where bigger is no longer better. Size of the cooler should start showing some diminishing returns.

Done.

very good to see it has a backplate. i was worried about that. now just worried about the strength of the MB when upright. but i could be worried over nothing.
