Scythe Samurai Z

A very interesting member of the Scythe cooler family comes next. I’m not wasting my time on the package as there are more exciting things to talk about.

So, this cooler uses heat pipes but its design differs from the typical “tower”. This helped avoid the characteristic drawbacks of the tower design and make the cooler smaller.

There’s a rather large aluminum heatsink in the base. Two curved heat pipes transfer heat from the base to the thin aluminum plates at the top.
