Scythe is the new kid on the block when it comes to enthusiast heatsink/fan manufacturers. They have only been in operation since 2002. But man o man what way to start a company. This last year has been a storm of Scythe created performance CPU coolers. The buzz in the air is that Scythe is the cooler to get and they have a knack for unique cooling solutions. That’s perfect, innovation and performance will surely make any company rise to the top. The top is where Scythe is right now with their unique CPU coolers. Who exactly are the Scythe people? Well I will let the below ripped from their site explain that to you in detail.

\"Scythe Co., Ltd., began its operation and business in November, 2002 as a distributor and manufacture of PC parts & gaming devices for “DIY PC Experts!”. For more information about Scythe Japan HQ, please visit the website at: www.scythe.co.jp (If you read Japanese!). Scythe’s first venture was to manufacture a super powerful YET super quiet CPU cooler (Scythe Kamakaze CPU cooler), and with the great success of this Kamakaze CPU cooler, Scythe became recognized as the leading CPU cooler supplier in Japan’s Akihabara Electric Town. Shortly there after, due to popular demand, Scythe began exporting products all over the world.\"

Now that we know who they are lets take a look at this high performance cooler. The box looks a bit different than what I am used to for a HSF. I like the clear window that lets you see your goods before you buy it. In the second picture, I have removed it from the box. Its very tall and also very cool looking!
