Scythe Ninja Copper
Page 3
The Ninja heat sink uses the clips that push on and you have to kind of bend them out a bit instead of using a lever type of installation clip. I prefer the lever types but the push on type does hold the heat sink on more securely as the previous model did vibrate a bit more than this one.
When installed and running with the fan on the Andy Samurai Master tended to wobble a little bit, not much but noticeably. The Scythe Ninja Copper is rock steady inside my case without any movement detectable as well as keeping my overclocked 5000+ Black Edition cool.
In my case setup I have the fan on the heat sink right next to the case fan at the rear of the case. This may not be a great set up but with the fan on the other side over the memory sticks I was concerned about heat build up on my memory which does get hot when gaming.
The Ninja copper is a great heat sink assembly and using the fan ensures maximum cooling with my system. I do have it overclocked some and tried the maximum steady overclocking on this heat sink with great results.
The most temperature I had out of the Ninja Copper heat sink and fan assembly on my system with the processor clocked at 3.3 GHz was 50 degrees Celsius but I would not be using my system at this speed for regular use. If I did use at these higher speeds I would probably add some more case cooling as my case does not have a lot of fans on it right now.
The Scythe Ninja does a great job of cooling and it installs so easily that I am giving it my Blue Ribbon for Excellence award. The Scythe Ninja Copper is truly a work of art in the computer field and a fantastic cooler.
