Scythe have been making coolers for many years with more or less impressive performance and now that it has announced the latest cooler in form of Kama Angle it is with a unique design that shows a bit of Scythe’s innovative thinking. As the name implies Kama Angle has an angled design that makes the cooler look like a V from above. The reason for this 45 degree tilt is that Scythe wants to utilize the airflow from the power supply and other fans in the back of the case. The cooler supports all current platforms, while there is no mention of Core i7 we would assume there will be eventually.
Scythe’s press release follows below;
Scythe Introduces Kama Angle CPU Cooler
Scythe Co., Ltd (Tokyo, Japan) announces its newest CPU-Cooler. Together with Quietpc.com, there was a product developed which uses a unique design to fit everybodys’ needs. The special angular shape of the cooler allows to optimize the airflow through a PC system by utilizing the PSU and rear case fans. For perfect compatibility and flexibility, Kama Angle can be mounted in four different directions.
Scythe supplies Kama Angle with a new ultra silent SlipStream-fan, which uses PWM. The PWM-technology allows a temperature-dependent regulation of fan speed directly controlled by mainboard BIOS and is supported by lots of motherboards available on the market. The supplied fan can be mounted in three different ways to supply optimal airflow inside the case.
Kama Angle is compatible with all current sockets. Mounting accessory for Intel Socket 478 and LGA 775 is supplied as well as for AMD Socket 754, 939, AM2 and AM2+. Scythe uses materials of highest quality. The baseplate consists of nickle plated copper to avoid corrosion of the used material.
