Review on Scythe Shuriken Profile 120Mm Cooler by Sedric Hood

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Works well with fans and cooling

I just built a new PC. My old computer cost me a fortune a few years ago and the components were still excellent. I didn't need 2 PCs in my house in super gaming towers, so I bought a SilverStone Technology SST-GD08B case to build myself a boosted HTPC using components from my now-old gaming machine. After assembling it, I realized that my old CPU cooler is absolutely not suitable. That's why I ordered this air cooler. I installed it in a SilverStone Technology SST-GD08B on an EVGO z97 Classified motherboard with an Intel Devils Canyon i7 CPU with 4 relatively tall HyperX RAM sticks. This cooler is quickly installed and fits perfectly with the components and in the case. I installed 7 case fans and 10 8TB Iron Wolf NAS drives in the case. Overall, this is not a silent HTPC, but as for the CPU cooler, it is silent. I can't hear the radiator fan running on other fans or turntables. It also lowers the CPU temperature to an acceptable limit.

Pros
  • Perfect for outdoor activities
Cons
  • Slightly torn
