The heatpipes in the cooler base are flattened and placed in two rows, one above the other. Unfortunately, we don’t know how the heatpipes contact with the cooler base, because we found no traces of soldering or thermal glue (although the latter is more likely to be the case). The base is ideally even and impeccably finished:

Unlike Scythe Ninja Plus, NINJA 2 is bundled with a 120-mm fan from Scythe Slip Stream 120 series. The same fan is bundled with NINJA Copper:

However, unlike NINJA Copper, the rotation speed of the NINJA 2 fan is ~1000RPM instead of ~800RPM. It creates 52.9CFM airflow and generates 20.5dBA of noise. By the way, there is no SY1225SL12LM fan in the Slip Stream 120 lineup, so it must be manufactured exclusively for NINJA 2 coolers:

You can attach the fan to any side of the heatsink with two wire clips included with the cooler accessories:

This is what Scythe NINJA 2 looks like with a fan installed:

Pretty massive thing, really. With two fans for air intake and exhaust the cooler will be over 166mm long! The standard bundle with a single fan attached, this new Scythe cooler weighs 820g (310g less than NINJA Copper).
