The fins are too much close to each other

[tonschk]

Hello there , unfortunately the fins are too close to each other , therefore I think the passive performance of this GPU cooler is not the best

U say that by lookin at it?
I got it on a 5850 card. Works neat. Bit tight fit in a Midtower.

And who told me a slipstream is silent...yeah at like 20% speed or so. Wich makes my card reach 58 celsius when doing CodMw2. (also due to tight midcase, Antec sonata built 2001 orso)
Seems that reversing the fan yields a 30% higher effectivity. (reviews and test prove it: blowin is better then suckin...no rudeness intended..)
It is also better then the stock cooler by about 30%.
Looks cool too of course.

Shame the scythe alu-case is total crap. Alu is too thin and the case warps when heated a bit or force is put on it. (see reviews on the net)

But no, fins are not too close together. Good cooler. Was the only available for 5850 in december '09 at least)

I already give up with flimsy factory made cases , I am building my own case with 2mm thick steel , extreme heavy and stiff , but I like it
