Looks like a nice cooler. The Scythe Shuriken is a more popular choice though.


Yes, but Newegg was out of the Scythe and the other websites selling it charge WAY too much shipping. The coolermaster had free shipping, so I am getting the whole thing for $22.99.

Okay, Temperature update.

Idle temps with the stock AMD cooler were 41c, I never was willing to get a true load temp with Orthos as I would stop the test after less than a minute with the cpu temp already hitting 56c.

With the new cooler Idle temps are 38c, but that isn't taking into account that ambient temps are 3 c warmer today than they have been. Load temps never get over 54c.

Overall, it's not a TRUE, but I didn't expect it to be. It does what I hoped.

I would have went with something that had a bigger fan, but all things considered, it looks like a good choice (especially for under $25). Just curious, do you run your PSU fan side up or down ? I owned a LanboxLite and that option is the one thing that I miss now that everything has been transplanted into my SUGO. Well, that and drive covers =)

Seems like a great bang for the buck! Too bad they don't sell them here.

Well, on this one I am running a Thermaltake TR2 powersupply, which has a small fan on each end of the power supply instead of a top mounted. I actually plan on doing another build with a Lanbox Lite and will be putting the PSU fan mounted to the outside of the case.
