Scythe NCU-2000 Fanless CPU Cooler Review

I don’t think this heatsink will suffice the overclocker’s needs, but it’ll surely do it for the noise freaks out there. Now this is what I call a tower.

“Scythe continues its tradition of unusual innovation in silent computing components. The NCU-2000 is an update of a HS designed to run completely fanless. This huge heatsink uses a flat heatpipe, widely spaced thin fins and a copper base that can rotate so the fins are correctly oriented regardless of CPU socket orientation on socket 478 or A64. Yet it’s just 505 grams, a hundred grams lighter than the original NCU-1000, with much of the weight at the base. Is it better? Can it really run fanless?”
