Scythe's Big Shuriken low-profile CPU-cooler

With the Scythe Shuriken being aged just over 1.5 years, it's apparently time for the cooler to receive a successor. Scythe announced the Big Shuriken as a new low-profile CPU-cooler. This cooler weighs in at 405 grams, has dimensions of 125 x 135 x 58 mm, and features a nickled copper base, as well as four copper heatpipes. To dissipate the generated heat Scythe has decided upon a Slip Stream 120 Slim fan which rotates at between 650 and 1600 RPM. At these speeds, the fan is to produce between 13 dBA and 29 dBA, whilst maintaining an air displacement of between 27 and 63 m³/hour.

The Big Shuriken can be mounted on Intel's socket 478, LGA 775, LGA 1366. AMD's socket 754, 939 AM2(+) and AM3 are also supported.
