Tech Link (Coolers): Scythe Mi-ne Multi-Socketed Heatsink Review

The folks over at VR-Zone are having a merry time testing a cool heatsink from Scythe. What is great about this cooler is that it fits both older Chipzilla Socket478 processor as well as the newer LGA775 based CPU.

The cooler seems to perform better against Thermalright* XP90C as well, and can cool even the mighty Intel® Pentium® 955 Extreme Edition using the same fan across the coolers. Wow, I am quickly becoming a huge fan of this cooler. While I like the Thermaltake BT*, I really hate the mounting style. Here's a snippet from the review:

As we all know, there're a thousand and one heatsinks available out in the market currently and anyone who wants to venture into the enthusiast cooling market will definitely have a headache choosing a heatsink that's suitable for them. Many brands have managed to carve a niche in this very specialised component cooling market, with significant examples like Thermalright, Zalman and the like. In the last few years, we have not seen many companies who have managed to enter this market successfully.
