This is the second cooler we had received from Scythe and it is definitely bigger, and equipped with a 92mm fan, this cooler sure can turn around some air.

They have enclosed a fan controller which also is a plus because when the fan blows a lot in 12V it gets pretty noisy, up to 46dBA.....

Scythe is a Japanese based company that manufactures cooling products. Recently, we reviewed Scythe's Silent Box, which did its job in keeping noise to a minimal level. Noise is a huge in today's computer systems. The more heat your system produces, the faster the fans needs to spin to supply a faster and more efficient flow of cool air. Scythe also produces CPU heatsink coolers coupled with a fan and fan controller to set the noise level. ......

To test the KamabokoZ we used two different software programs running at the same time to simulate the maximum load possible on the processor.  The first programs we used was Passmark Software's BurnInTest V4.0, BurnInTest is a software tool that allows all the major sub-systems of a computer to be simultaneously stress tested for endurance, reliability and stability. BurnInTest tests the CPU, hard drives, CD ROMs, CD burners, DVDs, sound cards, 2D graphics, 3D graphics, RAM, network connections, printers and video playback. The Pro version can also test tape drives, USB 2.0 and 1.x, serial and parallel ports. This can all be done simultaneously as the application is multithreaded. ......
