For silence, wich Scythe for Asus P5KPL-E & Intel Pentium E2160?

[Wicke]

I have a system that runs 24/7. And I want it to be more quiet. The Intel stock cooler keeps the CPU at 34C.

Wich Scythe should I pick?

Hello Wicke,

you could pick nearly all of our coolers - I would suggest a Shuriken because as far as I could see from pictures your boards supports PWM for CPU coolers.

Kind regards,

Thx, for your fast reply.

Shuriken looks small, is it possible to use it as passive? Or I may have to pick a bit larger cooler, like Mugen?

Hello Wicke,

if you really want to go passive, use Mugen or Ninja 2 - and if you have lots of space: Orochi!

I don´t think space will be a problem, I´m going to use a Guanghshing GHS-2000. But I have to meassure, to see if it fits.
I noticed on the front page, a Mugen 2 CPU Cooler, but when I search on a swedish price agent there is just Mugen (1?). Is Mugen 2 to be released? Or ist i just for another market?

Hello Wicke,

Mugen 2 just got released freshly and should be available in Sweden during the next weeks.

Hi again.
In my eyes it looks like Ninja 2 and Mugen 2 is almost the same and Orochi looks very different. So if I want it passive I should first go for Orochi, and if I find Orochi too big I should then choose between Ninja 2 or Mugen 2?

[hiroshige]

Hello Wicke,

I would suggest Ninja 2 for what you are doing and only if you want to have something big, pick Orochi

Hm, I am pretty fancy about big stuff. So this is going to be a tough choice. Is there going to be a Orochi 2 in the near future?

FYI, I just ordered one Orochi :-D
