Scythe Infinity CPU Cooler Reviewed

Madshrimps tests the Scythe Infinity, a CPU heatsink fan (HSF) that features AMD Athlon64/64+ Socket 754/940/939/AM2 and Intel S478/LGA775 compatibility, Tower configuration, 5 heatpipes, 960 grams overall weight, 120 x 120 x 25mm fan (1200RPM, 23.5dBA, 46.5CFM), and 125 (L) x 116 (W) x 160mm (H) overall dimensions.

"The Infinity does add more raw potential power with tightly packed aluminum fins and 5 copper heat pipes, add a high speed 120mm fan (or even multiple) and it will allow for some very high end (overclocked/overvolted) CPU's to run at very low temperatures, overclockers will love this heatsink." "Coupled with a silent fan the Infinity performs admirable but doesn't improve on the Ninja, if you are building a new PC either choice of heatsink will keep your CPU cool and your system quiet." [Madshrimps]

The reviewer did appreciate the Infinity's fair price and excellent performance. As with all Tower configuration HSFs, try to avoid moving your machine unnecessarily, since the weight and mass of the cooler might be stronger than the installation brackets.
