Scythe KU000052 Big Shuriken 2 Rev B CPU Cooler - Black

Bought originally for a Node 202 case but due to the CPU placement of my motherboard I wasn't able to install the GPU riser as the pins on the riser touched the fins of the cooler! One replacement case (Raijintek Ophion) later and it's fine. So YMMV with your motherboard. Make sure you read the instructions as it's easier to install some of the screws out of the case first, then mount to the motherboard. Otherwise, really good! At full speed the fan is barely audible I find, a lot quieter than my old Cryorig C7. It takes up a lot of space as the fan is massive, but worth it. I see similar temperatures in a warm case (at stock speeds) to some people with overclocked, watercooled systems which is a bonus!

This fan may be at a price many may see as a premium, but you truly do get more for your money with this product. Yes it may not be whisper quiet but in most cases it won't bother you as it is a very quiet fan. Replaced my malfunctioned factory AMD fan that came with my processor, it is nicer to look at, cooler, quieter and bigger ( a good thing) than my factory fan. Well worth the investment.

Using it in Node202 with i7 7700K. It just about a fit for Node202 but provides great cooling and is AFAIK largest cooler you can fit in. Fan on the cooler has been going for 1.5 years now with no issues. Hilighy recommended.

I brought this to replace my AMD stock cooler which although was a pretty substantial affair with copper base and 4 heat pipes, was very loud at high loads with a very high pitched whine, something akin to a jet taking off. It's a reasonably high spec'ed CPU in a smallish case, so I needed a replacement that would fit in the case, match the stock cooler for cooling performance but reduce the noise. The shrunken has reduced the CPU by about 4-5 deg C under load, and the system unit is also a couple of degs cooler (although I did use the opportunity to sort out my cabling as well). However the big improvement is the noise levels. Although still pretty audible under load it's a much gentler, less distracting sound. Compared to other low profile coolers it was pretty expensive, however I have my doubts that most of these would have matched the stock cooler performance with my CPU. Overall I am pretty happy and believe I have achieved what I wanted, a much quieter cooler without losing any performance. One word to other newbie Cooler fitters like myself. The first time I installed this I spread the supplied thermal compound on the cpu. To my horror, the temp under load reached 70+. Refitting using a small blob of MX4 in the centre cured the problem. Also remember to remove the plastic protective cover from the base, easily forgotten.

I have this cooler in my new gaming build, the CPU stays about 20c even when at 100% usage for extended periods of time and the fan is very quiet. I would recommend this cooler.

After weeks of deciding on which one of the many coolers available to buy, I still choose the wrong one it did not fit my AMD GIGABYTE GA-F2A88XM-D3HP motherboard. The five copper pipes protrude from both sides of the fan, (this is a good thing in transferring the more heat to the fins, most coolers only have half the amount of pipes i.e. On one side only.) because of this i could not turn the fan around so that the copper pipes miss my Memory cards. I could have bodged it and used the two memory slots furthest away, but this would mean my memory cards would not be in interlaced memory banks and so run slower. The Fan looks good quality well designed, and comes with adaptors for AMD and Intel. I would state that it is NOT a straight forward clip in fan, as the motherboard has to be removed to fit the Cooler mount on the underside of the Motherboard after first removing the original mount.

Before buying this cooler I was using the stock intel cooler paired with my i5 4670k. In games like black ops 4 my cpu would reach into the high 70’s and the fan would be extremely noisy. While idle it would sit around 50 degrees. After installing this cooler, my temps in game have plummeted to only 50 degrees max while my pc now idles at around 35-40. The different is night and day, also it is very quiet when idle. My case is the node 202 and I didn’t have to modify it in any way to fit this cooler, it even fits with the dust filter installed.

We had 3 of these coolers now where the fan stopped spinning in just over a year, terrible considering the price of this product and 3 angry customers :( - the mounting system is also horrible requiring to balance the motherboard as you attach it from both ends.

Di norma sono per i dissipatori Noctua ma tra i low-profile questo Big Shuriken 2 Rev. B di Scythe (marca giapponese piuttosto snobbata in Italia) rappresenta secondo me la scelta migliore. Acquistai il primo modello 8 anni fa per la costruzione di un PC compatto mATX con processore i3-540 (il primo i3 introdotto sul mercato, con TDP di 73w) ancora in essere e, nonostante le dimensioni del case non favoriscano i flussi d'aria, questo dissipatore è sempre riuscito a tenere a bada onestamente le temperature del processore (max 65°C a pieno carico) senza dover superare con la ventola i 1200rpm. Avendo aggiornato questo computer con un nuovo i3-8100 montato nello stesso case ma volendo tenere i vecchi componenti da travasare altrove, ho pensato di acquistare questa nuova versione andando sulla fiducia dell'esperienza precedente e le aspettative non sono state tradite: complice un minor consumo generale della nuova architettura della CPU, il Big Shuriken 2 è in grado di tenere la temperatura dell'i3 intorno ai 32°C in idle con ventola a 350rpm e 60°C a pieno carico con ventola a 550rpm. Vorrei nuovamente sottolineare che il case è rimasto lo stesso, oltre a specificare che non ho usato la pasta termica in dotazione ma la MX-4 della ARCTIC. La ventola del dissipatore misura 120mm e con il case chiuso risulta pressoché inudibile fino a 800rpm, tra gli 800 e i 1200rpm inizia a sentirsi seppur in modo accennato e da lì fino ai 2000rpm è un crescere che però non diventa un rumore veramente esagerato a pieni giri. La ventola sotto questo punto di vista è veramente ottima e nonostante sia slim riesce a muovere un buon quantitativo di aria. Il prezzo in proporzione a soluzioni similari è alto, questo è indubbiamente vero, ma stiamo pur sempre parlando di prestazioni decisamente buone per un dissipatore che, ventola inclusa, misura solamente 58mm in altezza! Difficilmente potrà bastare per tenere a bada un processore overclockato ma del resto non avrebbe senso tale CPU all'interno di un case piccolo, se però volete realizzare un PC dal fattore di forma contenuto usando processori parchi in termini di consumi e quindi di calore generato, come per esempio i modelli i3 o i5 versione non K, allora si tratta della scelta migliore. Dissento in parte dai commenti che mi hanno preceduto in merito alle diffcoltà di montaggio: rispetto alla precedente versione del Big Shuriken è indubbiamente più complesso da installare dal momento che quello vecchio funzionava semplicemente con un sistema di clip, tuttavia se si seguono i passi correttamente è possibile montarlo tranquillamente senza alcun aiuto. Quello che è vero è che le istruzioni fornite sono organizzate in maniera criptica, dovrebbero decisamente migliorare questo aspetto perché nonostante la presenza di illustrazioni non è stato immediato decifrarne la dinamica.

サブパソコンに付けてた、Freezer Pro7から変えました。良く冷えて静かでいい感じです。ファンが心配なのでつでに 12cmLEDファンに変えました。ケース内が明るくなりいいですねwバックプレートを外さなきゃいけないけど簡単に付きました。クーラー本体も低いので小さいケースにも良さそうです。 CPU：Q9550 マザー；ASUS P5Q Deluxe LGA775 メモリ；16GB 電源；KEIAN;780w これでレビューになるか心配ですけどいいと思いますよ。

Es un disipador de gran tamaño pero de perfil reducido, para placas Micro-ATX y ATX, funciona de maravilla, aunque hay que tener cuidado con las memorias Ram, en mi caso, por 5 mm, entro sin rozarlas y sin tapar nada, (Placa Micro-ATX) De funcionamiento silencioso, desempeña mucho mejor su trabajo que otros disipadores de bajo perfil como los Noctuas o los Cooler Master, ademas de a un precio muy contenido, en mi caso y a máxima potencia mi antiguo AMD Athlon X2 6000+ no supera los 55º Cosa que para ser un AMD está muy bien. Ideal para cajas pequeñas, solo tiene un pero, las instrucciones, algo liosas pero que con algo de maña se resuleve.

Très très silencieux. Utilisé pour une "petite" config pour un HTPC. Carte mère Gigabyte B85M-D3H. (Wake on Line disponible pour réveiller la bête par l'appli Kodi) 8Go de ram win 7 sur un ssd de récup Kodi (XBMC) + appli Ipad et Iphone comme télécommande. Disque dur 2.5 pouces de récup d'un portable Ajout d'une carte geForce 210 (fanless) car la carte vidéo intégrée à la carte mère n'est pas assez fluide pour la HD Tout ce petit monde fonctionne parfaitement et en silence ! (enfin presque :) ).

Good product! Does the job to fut in node 202 case
