The Infinity is Scythe newest entry on the list of high end cooler market. Its closely resemble the Ninja but on steroids. Boasting five heat pipes and tons of tiny aluminum fins, the Infinity is screaming to be the best and the top cooler on that same list.

Have you ever dreamed of a device that lets you connect all kinds of IDE and SATA devices via your USB port? This is what the Kama Connect does. You can connect all EIDE and SATA drives, 5.25 and 3.5", CD/DVD-ROM and HDD to it. It is even possible to connect SATA and IDE devices at the same time and use them both. With a price of only $29 this is one of the most useful USB devices ever.

When Scythe first introduced their Ninja to the hardware enthusiast crowd not everyone was immediately convinced of its superior performance, yet in the months that followed this heatsink kept slicing through the competition and won over the hearts of many. The Scythe Ninja Plus can be had for ~?30 in Europe and ~$35 in USA. A new revision B of the Scythe Ninja Plus will be released soon which will add AMD AM2 compatibility. Today the Ninja still stands strong and we don?t hesitate to recommend it to our readers if they want to build a silent system.

Scythe is a company well known for their CPU coolers, they send
us a product not related to cooling at all, but it's worth a closer look
nonetheless, the Kama Connect is a nifty little box which allows you to
connect any SATA/PATA device to your PC using USB 2.0.

The Scythe SCSM1000 Samurai is one of those all-in-one heatsinks that tries to accommodate virtually every kind of processor formfactor out there. Generally when coolers go down this route they either succeed on a few different CPU cores, or fail miserably on every single one. It all depends on the base of the heatsink, and a couple other factors we'll get into shortly...

As quiet as the Scythe Shogun is, the heatsink is cursed by a set of mounting mechanisms that are complicated and unwieldy to install. The Scythe Shogun weighs in a hefty 790 grams, and stands to a towering height of 147mm above the CPU. The heatsinks' 120x120mm hypro-bearing fan spins at between 700RPM-1600RPM, while producing at most 45.9 dBA in our real world tests. Socket 775/478 Intel Pentium 4 and socket 754/940/939 AMD Athlon64 processors are supported by this model. It does not AMD's socket AM2 processors, however...

Scythe has come a long way in the last three years in offering PC cooling the quiet way. I still remember the look of the web page first appeared in the summer of 2003. Today, we are taking a look at Scythe's first power supply entering the U.S. market; KAMARIKI II 550 Watts Extra Silent...

The Samurai Z CPU Cooler is on the test table today, and as this is my first heatpipe-based CPU cooler, I'm interested to see how the Scythe interpretation of an interesting technology will turn out. The idea is, the heat is transferred away faster from the base of the cooler, thus the CPU is kept cooler overall. Read on...

Scythe has made a pretty good transition into the U.S. marketplace. By introducing some well made products like the Ninja and Katana line of heatsinks, they have made a big hit with people that are into performance or quietness. Our next product from Scythe gives you plenty of both. Utilizing a 100mm fan and a little bit out of the norm construction, the Mine maybe a cooler to reckon with...

There is nothing more important than having enough airflow inside your computer. Cooling the internal components of your computer; video card, processor and drives are an absolute must. But the real problem is to find cooling fans that will allow you to keep your sanity is a task within it self. Quietness is a want that we all want these days. There are several cases today that will house several 120mm cooling fans like the Coolermaster Stacker and others, so a clever combination of fans has to be researched. Today, Scythe has sent us three of their newest fans from the S-Flex line. Read on...

The Katana 775 as proven in out lab to be a great low cost cooling solution for the socket T platform. We all know that the Intel Pentium class does produce its share of heat, except for the new Pressler and Cedar Mill, which we used here. I can honestly say that this is 20 bucks well spent...

The Kamariki-2 is one great power supply. It easily rivals some of the well-known units on the market today. Easily can power any system that a gamer or enthusiast can build. Crossfire and SLI powerhouses both supported. The stable rails can provide all with the power needed to overclock and tweak a system to the max. The looks would be to any person's liking, if you are into cosmetics. The dark chrome finish will attract some fingerprints. But due to the fact that just about all popular power supplies have a chrome finish these days, fingerprints aren't even a negative in my book anymore...

Air circulation is a must have in any computer. No matter if have a simple work station or a high end gaming systems, the importance of air moving across your components is very important. And the only way to achieve this is the proper placement of cooling fans. If you have a case that is need of some air movement then Scythe has what you need, a Kama-Bay...

The first thing that I would like to mention is this is one damn quiet cooler. Everything else in our setup was louder than it. This would be an excellent pick for anyone that requires a quiet pc. The ease it takes to install this cooler is just as impressive. It never seems to amaze me that every time I get a cooler to review, it gets easier and easier to assemble. Except for the Katana but that is a whole other ball game. I think that Scythe has another winner on their hands with the Samurai...

With the success of the Ninja heatpipe cooler, Scythe is now being looked at as a company that can compete with the best of them. The Ninja is right up there with the likes of the Thermaltake Big Typhoon, Cooler Master Hyper 6 and the Thermalright XP-120. Now we have in our mitts the little brother to the Ninja. The Scythe Katana. Today we will see how well it stacks up to big brother...
