Scythe Choten is a new heatsink that has been designed to offer very high performance, maintaining a height of only 120 mm, which makes it compatible with a large number of chassis.
New Scythe Choten high-performance heatsink with a height of only 120 mm
The new Scythe Choten heatsink features a low-profile design to reduce its height as much as possible without sacrificing performance, so the dimensions are 130 x 120 x 130 mm. This heatsink mounts no less than six heatpipes of nickel-plated copper with a thickness of 6 mm, which are attached to an aluminum finned radiator that is arranged perpendicular to the base plate. The advantage of this design, in addition to its low height, is that it creates airflow over some of the most critical components, such as the VRM voltage regulator.
Above the radiator is a 120 mm Kaze Flex fan with PWM functionality, which allows the speed of rotation to be regulated automatically depending on the temperature and between 300 RPM and 1200 RPM, thus offering the best possible compromise between silence and cooling capacity. This fan is capable of generating a maximum airflow of 51.17 CFM, with a noise level of only 24.9 dBA. Scythe has placed anti-vibration rubber pads to avoid the maximum noise generated by the fan during operation.
Scythe Choten is compatible with the Intel platforms LGA115X, LGA1366, LGA775 and AMD AMX(+), FMX(+), is available for purchase for 35 euros.
