How about the big sickle air-cooled CPU cooler Brand introduction

Recommended models: Thousand Stone Boat, Red Rabbit Horse, Arrowhead, Ten Hands
 
As we all know, there are very few Japanese brands in computer DIY accessories, and the scythe is one of the more well-known Japanese brands for players. Founded in 2002, SCYTHE is headquartered in Akihabara, a well-known two-dimensional market in Tokyo, and has established R&D centers and production plants in Taiwan and Guangdong. Because most of the brand's products are specially supplied to China, they are mainly silent, and have a good reputation in China, but they are not as famous as the top two in the foreign digital industry.
 
The name of the scythe product is very Japanese, and the red rabbit horse, the thousand stone boat, the arrowhead, and the ten hands are all strong Japanese animation flavor. The Chitu horse can be equipped with a 120mm PWM fan, which can be installed on the heat sink with up to two fans, and the fan is designed with alloy sleeve bearings and 7 fan blades to increase the service life without sacrificing quiet performance. The heat sink fin and the copper tube are combined with FIN buckles, which can increase the thermal conductivity area and thermal conductivity efficiency. In addition, Chitu Ma has 4 6mm nickel-plated pure copper heat pipes, all of which are bridged for fast heat transfer. However, the Chitu Horse's cooling performance is limited, and this cooler is not recommended for gamers with overclocking needs.
 
As a professional heat dissipation solution manufacturer, Scythe will naturally not give up on consumers in the overclocking industry, and Thousand Stone Boat is a heat sink designed for this group. The Sengoku boat has 6 heat pipes, the main body height is 156mm, and the noise level is only 27Dba when fully loaded. The heat dissipation fins are processed by nickel plating, which is both aesthetically pleasing and resistant to oxidation. The heat pipe is connected to the copper bottom by reflow soldering, which can improve the heat transfer efficiency. The copper bottom of the Thousand Stone Boat is a brushed surface, which is completely different from the mirror copper bottom of the Limin radiator, but the thermal conductivity is equally strong. Some consumers report that they need to bring their own 15CM screwdriver when installing, and the brushed surface may scratch the CPU, so be sure not to use too much force.
 
It is worth mentioning that regardless of tower cooling or downward pressure cooling, all radiators of the brand can be installed with two fans to assist in heat dissipation, most gamers choose to install one, and the other fan can be installed on the chassis as an exhaust fan, and the Ten Hands series is a model of downward pressure dual fans. The radiator is equipped with 2 80mm PWM fans, with a thickness of 49mm, which can be freely installed in a compact chassis, and the dual fans adopt the heat dissipation method of pushing up and sucking, with less airflow loss and greatly improved heat dissipation effect, and the same production process as the Qianshi boat mentioned above, the price is nearly 100 yuan cheaper.
 
The price of the big sickle radiator is medium to low, and all products are in the range of 99-299 yuan, but the materials are not reduced, and the overall weight is heavy. Some players said that the heat sink fins are too thin and easy to scratch their hands, so it is recommended to be careful when installing.
 
Overall, the Scythe's quiet and heat dissipation performance is quite good, and it performs well in the same price range, so if you don't have the budget to buy a top brand, you can give priority to buying Scythe.
