scythe grand kama cross cpu cooler 1 300x250 Scythe Announces Grand Kama Cross TOP Flow CPU CoolerScythe is announcing today a new High-End TOP-Flow CPU Cooler by the name “Grand Kama Cross”, which is the successor of former Kama Cross CPU Cooler.


Grand Kama Cross is based on an X Structure layout using total of four 8 mm copper heatpipes for fast transfer of heat from the copper base to the aluminum fins. Thanks to the X Structure Design, easier mounting on CPU sockets as well as higher compatibility to tall RAM and Northbridge coolers are accomplished.


By using the angled fin shape, airflow is redirected to allow additional cooling of surrounding components such as RAM, Northbridge and Voltage Regulators. For the optimum airflow, new Slip Stream 140 mm fan is first introduced with Grand Kama Cross CPU Cooler. PWM support allows flexible fan speed in a range between 500 and 1,300 rpm, automatically controlled by the motherboard creating airflow from 46 to 119 m³/h and accordingly 27.2 to 69.93 CFM. Both Slip Stream 140 mm fan and Grand Kama Cross CPU Cooler are using standard 120 mm fan mounting holes which allow the use of common aftermarkets 120 mm case fans as a replacement.


Grand Kama Cross CPU Cooler supports current Intel® socket 478, LGA775, LGA1156 and LGA1366 as well as AMD® socket 754, 939, AM2, AM2+, AM3 and 940. By using MSMC (Multiplatform Socket Mounting Clips), Grand Kama Cross CPU Cooler can be mounted in four different directions to further increase the compatibility.
Grand Kama Cross CPU Cooler (Model-No. SCKC-2000) is available for 29,50 EUR (MSRP, excl. VAT) or US$ 45.00 (MSRP, excl. TAX).

    Interesting design, but I wonder how it performs?

    Does anyone really use their Kama line?
    The world has pretty much embraced the tower-design, hell Scythe really pushed the tower design into mainstream, with the Ninja.

    I just can't believe they would use screws to secure the fan!

    The clip/retention bracket design is pretty common place and wouldn't have been THAT hard to implement would it?

    I find some of those fan clips to be wicked annoying to remove sometimes though.

    I actually like the introduction of screws, not only is it much more secure, but you can add your own 120mm fan (if I read that right)..

    Interesting design on the heatsink, I'd really like to see Scythe get good results with this cooler, first heat sink that cared for RAM clearance..

    TH did a review on the predecessor of this. It performed quite terribly, and was given a 'fail' rating.
