| Scythe Infinity Heatpipe CPU Cooler
|
It was just about three months ago that we reviewed one of the latest CPU coolers from Scythe... the Mine. In that review I made the comment that you can always count on at least one company having another CPU cooler ready for launch into the market. It turns out that with the launch of that Scythe cooler, yet another model in their line-up wasn't far off.
What we have for review now is the Scythe Infinity Heatpipe CPU Cooler, one of the biggest and baddest looking CPU coolers I have come across. The promotional image below provides a quick look at the cooler, but it doesn't really tell the whole story. Through the course of this review we'll take a closer look at the Infinity and determine whether this initial positive impression carries through to a positive bottom line.
The Scythe Infinity finds its way to us for review via another familiar name in the performance computing community... Crazy PC. Crazy PC has been an excellent resource for computing enthusiasts since 1999, and can be counted on to have the latest coolers from the likes of Thermalright, Thermaltake, Zalman, and Scythe on their virtual shelves.
Before we get to the cooler, let's look at some published data on the Scythe Infinity taken from the Crazy PC website...
