Scythe offers a wide range of different cpu cooling products. Recently the company released the 'Kama Angle' model, which has a unique "angled" design of the aluminum fins. The angle-shape concept was co-developed by Scythe and Quiet PC and allows mounting the cooler in 4 different ways, while the PWM fan can be installed in three different positions.
Opening the box we will find mounting clips for popular AMD/Intel sockets among with a 120mm fan and thermal paste. Printed installation instructions are present although they are not needed :-)
As you can see in the picture below, the fins are placed in a 90 degree angle to each other and four copper heatpipes are running through the fins and the base platter. The design allows for a flexible installation of the included rotating fan according to your needs.
In order to install the Kama Angle to an Intel LGA-1366 system you should buy an add-on kit:
- Installation
The installation process is simple. All you have to do is use the included screws to secure the mounting mechanism of your processor's socket. In our case, we used the LGA-1366 mounting clip.
This would take you around 10seconds. As you can see, the design offers much free space around the CPU socket.
Getting the included 120mm rotating fan installed is also matter of seconds. In less than one minute, you will have your new Kama Angle cpu cooler installed at your system without having to remove your motherboard from the PC case.
