Product Reviews
- “Our current favourite third-party heatsink is the Scythe Kabuto. It's good for overclocking and the flat design means it doesn't stick out as far as others with comparative cooling power.”
- PC Gamer - “It's ideal if you have a side vent in your case, as it can expel CPU heat at right angles to the socket, without blowing hot air across other components to reach the traditional rear exhausts. Although it's very quiet, the cooling properties are phenomenal. We managed to push our 2.6 GHz CPU just over the 3 GHz barrier, making our bargain chip even better value for money.”
