The features of the Scythe Choten CPU cooler in detail
Thanks to its top-flow design, the Scythe Choten CPU cooler also cools the components around the CPU socket and has it. The asymmetrical design of the heat sink ensures a particularly high level of compatibility with RAM with high heat sinks. The cooler has a nickel-plated copper base plate and four also nickel-plated copper heat pipes.
The contact points of the four heat pipes were sensibly distributed over the large aluminum heat sink and, with eight risers in total, ensure a high heat transport capacity. The scope of delivery includes a 120 mm fan with a black frame, gray vibration dampers and fan blades.
The Kaze Flex 120 PWM fan offers a very wide control range from 300 to 1,200 rpm. This means that the Choten is equipped for every application, from ultra-silent to overclocking. The fan only generates 4 dB (A) at the minimum speed and offers a delivery volume of around 86.93 m³ / h at maximum speed.
The mounting kit offers very high compatibility with AMD and Intel sockets. In addition, with its stable screw connection, it guarantees a secure fit of the cooler even during transport. Thermal paste and installation instructions are also included and the low total height of 120 mm and the total weight of 550 grams make the Scythe Choten a versatile all-rounder that is predestined for compact housings.
