Scythe har lagt till en ny processorkylare i sitt sortiment och det handlar om tredje generationens Katana-kylare. Namnet kommer från det mytomspunna japanska samurajsvärdet vars krökta klinga ses igen i Scythes kylardesign. Själva kylflänsen är nämligen fäst i en vinkel mot basen som ligger plan mot själva processorn. Det gör det möjligt för den 92mm stora fläkten att inte bara kyla själva processorn utan även andra komponenter i närheten på moderkortet. Priset på dennavassa kylare ligger runt 250 kronor och stödjer alla nuvarande processorplattformar.

Scythe unveils Katana 3 CPU cooler
High cooling performance with compact dimensions – Scythe presents
new Katana 3 CPU Cooler
Hamburg (Germany) – March 17, 2009: The multi-awarded Katana
2 is now unveiled in a further developed version. The Japanese specialist
cooling Scythe Co., Ltd. (Tokyo, Japan) publishes the Katana 3 CPU cooler.
Katana is named by the Japanese sword, Katana, which is produced in a
complicated manufacturing process which has been improved over the
centuries. Characteristic of the Japanese katana compared to European sword
types is its slightly curved shape, which also can be found in the Scythe Katana
CPU Cooler series.
So called Slant Pipe Structure (S.P.S.) of the Katana 3
CPU cooler enables the supplied 92 mm PWM fan not only to transport away heat of
the CPU cooler but to also cool sensitive components on the motherboard.
Enlarged surface of the Base Plate allows dissipating additional heat, which
is increasing the overall performance of the cooler. This F.P.S. technology
(Fast-Phase Structure) means gain of performance of the cooler without changing
the compact size of the Scythe Katana 3.
The Scythe Katana 3 CPU cooler is
now available for an MSRP of $32.00 excluding TAX / 16,75 excluding VAT.
