New Coolers from Scythe: Katana II and Kama Cross Review (page 6)

Real-time Pricing and Availability:

Scythe Kama Cross (SCKC-1000) CPU Fan Products

Installation Tips

Having the same fastening mechanism as the Katana II, the Kama Cross is installed likewise, too. Its heatsink hovers quite high above the mainboard, so it should get along nicely with the mainboard’s around-the-socket components.

The photos above show the Kama Cross installed in a position which is less advantageous in terms of cooling performance. The user manual recommends installing it in such a way that the pipes were horizontal rather than vertical as they are in the photos. However, I tried to use the cooler in both positions and found no difference between them as concerns CPU temperature.

The Kama Cross comes at a recommended price of $39.8
