Scythe unveils Orochi Rev. B – Active / Passive Hybrid Cooler is now also compatible with LGA1366

Cooler manufacturer Scythe is sticking to its Japanese themes and one of the latest is “the snake with eight heads.” Scythe Orochi has now been updated to support Intel’s LGA1366 platform and with 10 heatpipes and 1.2kg aluminum it is not to be taken lightly. The cooler comes with a 140mm Kaze Maru fan with blades spinning at 500 RPM making it near inaudible (10.8 dBA). The cooler can be equipped with up to three 140 or 120mm fans. At the same time, it can cool your processor without active assistance. MSRP is $78.80.

Scythe press release after the break;

Scythe unveils Orochi Rev. B – Active / Passive Hybrid Cooler is now also compatible with LGA1366

Hamburg, 31st March 2009: The already famously known Scythe Orochi CPU Cooler takes its name from the “snake with 8 heads” (Japanese: Yamata no Orochi) and is now unveiled in a new revision B.
Overall 10 Heatpipes transport the processor’s heat to the massive aluminum fins of this 1.2 kg Cooling Giant, by this a massive heat exchange is guaranteed.

Supplemental 140 mm Kaze Maru fan rotates with just 500 rpm at the Orochi  and produces super silent 10.8 dBA. Using the included fan-clips, also one standard 120 mm fan can be mounted on Orochi. For performance users, mounting of extra 140 mm Kaze Maru or standard 120mm fans for up to three fans is possible. Kaze Maru 140 mm fan is optionally available with three different fan speeds: 500, 1200 and 1900 rpm which allows the users to optimally select their preferred additional fan (not included in delivery)!

Attachment of the Orochi Rev. B is accomplished by F.M.S.B. (Flip mount super Back Plate) which is already known from Mugen 2. This improves both compatibility as well as mounting of the cooler on almost all current motherboards and also supports the new Intel Socket LGA1366.

The Orochi Rev. B is available now for US$ 78.80 excluding TAX / 46.50 Euro excluding VAT.
