Scythe Grand Kama Cross?
How well is it supposed to perform?
Better than the Katana 3 I presume?

Hello StaticPressure,
yes, the performance is better than the Katana 3rd In addition, a larger area cools, while the fan is pleasantly quiet. Katana 3 - max. 55.55 CFM / max 31.07 dBA Grand Kama Cross - max. 69.93 CFM / 24.7 dBA More air flow and quieter for sure. Next week i think, i will do make a new Dimensions and Compatibility thread for it

I apologize for double posting, but I was wondering if this cooler is better than the Zipang 2.
Reason being, they both have massive a 140MM fan and they are the same price in my area.

The cooler design is different and also obstructed fans. Zipang 2 have on top Kaze Maru with 1.000 rpm and on Grand Cross Kama works one PWM Kaze Maru 2 fan with max. 1.300 rpm +-. The main difference is definitely the design.

OCCT and Everest tests GKC on ASUS RampageII Gene
Mounted GKC 4 day's ago and "breaking in" the Arctic Silver compound I used for the heatsink mount on the CPU.(check signature). Over time,up to 200h, in future it should come down more.So far I'm happy with the temps as I'm loading with nearly 150W.These temps when running Win7 64-bit.Before I had Big Shurikan that did a very good job but not made for the loads I'm after.

Sorry for writing in German...
Ich habe echt Probleme, den Grand Kama Cross zu installieren. Ich bin eigentlich ein sehr geübter PC-Bastler und habe schon ein paar Dutzend PCs zusammengebaut, am Grand Kama Cross bin ich nach einer halben Stunde gescheitert (und habe ihn dabei leider auch ein wenig verbogen - die Lamellen sind alles andere als stabil). Der AMD Boxed-Kühler hingegen war innerhalb von weniger als 10 Sekunden installiert... Ich weiß nicht, ob ich vielleicht nur ein fehlerhaftes Exemplar habe, aber ich glaube, der minimale Abstand der Halteklammern, die unter den Kunststoffnasen des Retention-Moduls eingehängt werden, ist zu groß, so dass der Kühler nicht befestigt werden kann. Den Abstand der Halteklammern des Boxed-Kühlers kann man zwischen ca. 8,6 cm und 10,1 cm variieren, im eingebauten Zustand schätze ich den Abstand auf ca. 9-9,5 cm - der kleinste Abstand, den die Halteklammern des Grand Kama Cross bei mir erlauben, liegt oberhalb von 10 cm, so dass es unmöglich ist, die zweite Klammer einzuhaken - sie ist viel zu weit weg von der Kunststoffnase, und ich bekomme sie nicht näher dran. Das ist mein erster Scythe-Kühler, und ich bin extrem enttäuscht. Wie schon geschrieben bin ich ziemlich geübt im Zusammenbau von Hardware und habe den AMD Boxed-Kühler auch ganz fix ohne das kleinste Problem montiert.

@DrHouse
Can not really help Y as I have Intel.But check out this if Y haven't allready. YouTube - Eiskaltmacher.de - Grand Kama Cross Montage About "die Lamellen sind alles andere als stabil" I find 5-6 lamellen loose on my heatsink, a pitty as these will not transfer heat as good as possible.But the GKC cools like they say,low noise and effectivly but not for high end OC.Will post diagrams when paste cured more. When Y have many loose "Lamellen" Change it out with Y dealer.
