Product Details - Scythe KAMA Angle Rev.B Ultra Quiet CPU Cooler
With the vast majority of mid to high-end computers using 120mm exhaust fans and PSUs which incorporate 120mm fans, Quietpc.com came up with a very simple CPU cooler design that would use these fans to help cool the CPU, rather than relying solely on a CPU fan. Quietpc.com approached Scythe with this idea who were more than happy to put their design through the preliminary stages of development. And now, 18 months later Quietpc.com is delighted to co-present you with a cooler that does exactly what their initial design set out to do.
Scythe Kama Angle
Thanks to the M.S.M.C. (Multiplatform Socket Mounting Clips) it is, with the introduction of revision B of the CPU coolers Scythe Kama Angle, possible to mount the CPU Coolers on socket LGA 1366 and the upcoming LGA 1156. This improvement allows the to gain more flexibility without requiring any additional accessory. The new Clip has a wide range for the Push-Pins to slide and therefore can be mounted on the Intel® based platforms LGA 1366, LGA 1156 and LGA 775 by using only one clip. Well known performance and silence features of Scythe products are hereby compatible to Core i7 as well as Core i5 processors. Furthermore clips for socket 478 (Intel®), 754, 939, AM2(+) and AM3 (AMD®) are supplied as in the first of Kama Angle.
Features
-
Co-developed by Quietpc.com and Scythe
-
Designed to use airflow from case and PSU fans
-
Virtually silent, from only 6.4 dBA
-
Intel and AMD compatible
-
Can be rotated up to 360°
As already mentioned, the Kama Angle uses the airflow from the exhaust and power supply fan to aid cooling. The images below help to illustrate this. If the chassis has the PSU installed at the bottom of the case this is not a problem because most of the chassis designs that use this configuration allow the installation of another exhaust fan at the top of the case. The Kama Angle will therefore utilize that fan instead of the PSU fan.
The first image above shows the ideal position of the cooler and where to install the supplied 120mm fan. The second image shows the possibility of rotating the cooler in 90° increments if this is required. The cooler can be rotated a full 360°. The second image also shows alternative fan mounting positions. It is even possible to mount a total of three 120mm fans to the cooler, providing you have the space! All you need is another two 120mm fans and two pairs of
fan clips
.
From a noise point of view the Kama Angle is exceptional. The 120mm PWM fan only produces 6.4 dBA at its slowest setting but if you want to increase the performance of the cooler you can raise the fan speed by altering your motherboard's BIOS settings. Even at its maximum speed, the fan will never produce more than 24 dBA, which is still very quiet.
Taking the noise levels into consideration and given the fact the cooler will fit all major Intel and AMD processors, the Kama Angle has every angle covered (sorry!!) when it comes to cooling your CPU!!
