Scythe Releases The Successor of Big Shuriken

Japanese cooling expert Scythe today announced the successor of Big Shuriken CPU Cooler.

Big Shuriken 2 had to undergo further development on the heatsink and axial-fan side to provide better performance and compatibility.

Applied improvements of heatsink are not obvious at first sight because main heatsink structure was inherited from Big Shuriken CPU Cooler. The number of copper-heatpipes was increased from four to five pieces. Curved heatpipes are connecting the nickel-plated copper-base with the two upper layers of aluminum fins. The original Big Shuriken was equipped with a solid heatsink on top of the copper-base which has now been removed. Consequently socket mounting is no longer achieved by using VTMS mounting mechanism but the F.M.S.B. 4 (Flip Mount Super Back-Plate 4) using screws and backlpate.

Socket compatibility list has been kept long as usual, including the latest Intel socket LGA1155, LGA1156, T / LGA775 and LGA1366 as well as the AMD socket AM2, AM2+, AM3, AM3+ and FM1 processors.

The new version is furthermore equipped with a Slip Stream Slim 120 PWM axial-fan with a thickness of only 12 mm allowing the total height of Big Shuriken 2 being only 58 mm. The bundled 120 mm fan supports the PWM feature offering variable fan control between 500 and 2.000 rpm. Depending on fan speed and requirements the supplied fan is able to create airflow from 21 to 78 m³/h respectively from 12,13 to 45,

The improved Version of Big Shuriken is available worldwide at a recommended MSRP for Shuriken 2 (SCBSK-2000) in Europe is 30 EUR (excl. VAT/TAX).
