MODTHEBOX would like to thank Cathy from Cool Tech PC
for sending the Scythe Ninja Plus Rev.B Cooler for review.
Introduction:
As Intel and AMD slug it out for CPU supremacy, what lie in their wake is faster and more powerful processors that generate
more heat, and a greater need for cooling solutions that strive to achieve an overall level of silence. One company that
is battling the performance to noise ratio is Scythe based out of Torrance, CA. Scythe began its operation and business
in November 2002 as a distributor and manufacturer of PC parts and gaming devices. The company continues to expand its
product line with a current revision on its cooling product line. Today in the MTB Labs, we will be evaluating
the new Scythe Ninja Plus Rev.B Cooler.
Specifications:
With increasing demands for a silent CPU Cooler for the latest "hot" processors, the SCNJ-1100P Scythe Ninja Plus CPU
Cooler would be an ideal solution for your silent PC project. The new "Rev.B" version comes with easy installation clips.
and is universally compatible with both AMD and Intel platforms. Here are some specifications taken directly from the

My initial impression of the Scythe Ninja Plus Rev.B was a neutral one. It incorporates all the standard fare such as
copper heatpipe technology and aluminum fins that other CPU cooler manufacturers use today. Its overall size and weight
may have a "shock and awe" factor for some, but in the past I have seen other overly large CPU coolers, that given their
massive size and weight did not perform as well as its size would indicate. One nice feature of this CPU cooler is the
utilization of an included 120mm fan.
