Scythe Orochi CPU Heatsink
Contents & Packaging
I've got to admit the box art on this cooler is pretty cool. The word Orochi is plastered all over the dragon skin themed box. Off the bat Scythe hits us with the selling points of 10 heatpipes, Fanless Mode, Multi Fan Mount Structure (meaning multiple fan mounting locations), and an included 140mm/500rpm silent fan. The image on the top and front of the box gives insight as to what to expect, but appreciating the size of this beast doesn't come until you see it for yourself.
The left side of the box gives a look into how you're going to attach this monstrosity to your motherboard. Thank god we don't see any pushpins here! A secure mounting system for all platforms is ensured, and this cooler is capable of being applied to almost every one available.
The right side shows some features that we saw on the front of the box. There is a small description of each feature and the Multi Fan mount is well described with labeled diagrams making it easy for even the most computer illiterate to understand. The rear of the box explains the warranty of the cooler.
Upon opening the box you'll find:
- 1 - Scythe Orochi

Let's check out some specs before we show you this beast of a heatsink.
