Now there is no doubt about how the cooler is notched, and where Scythe left fins as long as possible to increase the surface area. The Intel installations require a blackplate (pictured below in Black) with adjustable mounting points to support multiple socket configurations. The Big Shuriken 3 is a relatively dense heatsink and it’s paired with a higher RPM fan, so more noise is expected.With our Intel test system, we are required to use the backplate, and no matter which way it is put into the holes of the motherboard, it will clear the screws protruding from the motherboard.

Both are run for 15 minutes before the peak reading during the test is recorded and taken as the result. The 4-pin 12V RGB connector allows the fan to be synchronized and controlled by RGB motherboards for vivid and multiple lighting effects (16. So, having a typical enclosed PC at an average distance away would result in almost all the heatsinks in the chart below being reasonable, even at max fan speed. Instead of thin fin array that is ‘square’ but ‘hollow’ it is now a relatively honkin’ huge fin array that starts at the top of the base and goes up… and up.I can appreciate the Kaze Flex Slim being pre-installed out-of-the-box and the inclusion of longer screws for mounting a thicker 120 x 25 mm fan. This holds the backplate in place nicely without having to fumble with thumbscrews in a tight space. Construction of the cooler is excellent, and this Big Shuriken 3 looks and feels like a premium option. Should the shroud come into contact with any of your components, it can be removed from the heatsink using a Phillips-head screwdriver. Scythe, the heavy hitting underdog of the HSF world, has once again hit us with another surprise entry into the SFF market with their Big Shuriken 3.
