Hey newtoninja,

if you mean "120 mm fan" by "120 mm fin": Actually no, I'm sorry. Shuriken is especially built for an 100 mm fan. But: We are planning to release a Big Shuriken with 120 mm fan within the next months.

Kind regards,

Cool. I might as well wait for the new release.
Any size specs available for Big Shuriken?

Hello newtoninja,

nope, there is nothing known so far. Actually we presented the Big Shuriken on CeBit - please have a look at the picture ("normal" Shuriken in the back, Big Shuriken in front).

Hi, im new here.
I would like to change th box cooler on my Athlon II X3 440 fo somehin more powerfull but im limited by the height - i have an AeroCool Qx-2000 case which consist of 2 levels and the max heigh of the bottom level is 120mm. The mobo is placed on screaws in some height and procesor has olso some height so i end up wih about 11mm for the cooler.

My question is:
Can i demont the top screaws on the heatpipes as those are 15mm which could save exact the needed space. Or maybe cut/abrasive feaw mm from top of the screaws ?
I would like to use a tower cooler construction instead of a low profile like shuriken because of the air flow and also use of a straight wind tunel from the front of the case to the cooler.

thanx for your reply

Well i know i cant just cut a heatpipe. But the screw on the top seems to me a bit too large - 15mm. It may fit or maybe no because of just 5mm. So im asking what is under the screw - are the heatpipe ended/shielded at the end or the screw is making the ending/shielding. Check the picture



and if the heatpipe is not closed by itself and the screw is closing it - how thick is the screw on the top - i mean if its like on the 3rd image from right then i can abrasive down a feaw milimeters from the screw top without damaging/opening the heatpipe

First i thought that those screws are only holding the fins and the heatpipe under is soldered/enclosed completely and the screw is more or less decorative.
So question is wat is under the screw and how thick it is at the top?

Underneath the caps it should look like this - but i doubt that you'll gain much space in removing them if you compare the pics to the normal Katana 3:
Katana 3 Type I: Scythe EU GmbH

Katana 3 CPU Kühler: Scythe EU GmbH

This should apply for all Scythe coolers but please wait for a comment from Okiwana (if he wants to comment).
