Scythe SCKTN-4000 92mm Katana 4 CPU Cooler
Well known for its' reliability and its curved fin structure Katana 4 has a
long history of cooling. The 4th generation stands out with its new, modern
design combining key features of previous versions with design and efficiency
improvements. The low height as well as the structure of the fins and the use of
three heatpipes are adopted from its' predecessors. In addition, the new design
lays the foundation for higher cooling performance by providing larger cooling
surface and the possibility to mount a second fan. The Katana 4 is equipped with
a 92 mm Slip Stream fan operated by the PWM signal of the mainboard, circulating
at 300 to 2500 rpm. This combination enables virtually silent mode as well as
overclocking, by providing sufficient cooling resources for almost all
environments. The Katana 4 is compatible with all current sockets.
Compatibility
Intel:
Socket LGA 2011 / 1366 / 1156 / 1155 / 775
AMD:
Socket FM1 / AM3+ / AM2+ / AM3 / AM2 / 940 / 939 / 754
Improved Performance
Higher cooling performance is one of the characteristics of 4th
generation Katana CPU cooler. The combination of 3 heatpipes, large fins and a
PWM-controlled Slip Stream 92 mm fan ensures high-scale heat dissipation. A
slightly angled fin structure, allows the airstream to hit the surface directly.
Overall surface of the heatsink has been increased.
Compatibility
As it is common practice for all Scythe products, Katana 4 provides
maximum compatibility. All current sockets are supported. Furthermore, a new
generation one-touch clip system is launched with Katana 4 excelling in user
friendliness and durability.
New Look
To be released in a completely new design, Katana 4 provides a new,
modern look. The fan is situated right-angled to the motherboard and fins are
tilted downward. Heatsink and Heatpipes are completely redesigned. Optical
enhancements go hand in hand with practical improvements. Better cooling
performance is one of them.
Compact Design
The bias of the new design originates in one simple question. How to
build a new, modern looking Katana-style CPU cooler, without sacrificing the
compact dimensions of its predecessor? Katana 4 transports this idea into
reality. The measurements are very similar to Katana 3, allowing, as before, the
use in limited space environments.
