BIG Shuriken CPU Cooler for silent htpc

Mini-itx cases are usually small and compact. Dealing with small chassis is always a challenge for htpc users as you have to find a balance between adequate ventilation and fan noise, sometimes you may not be able to have the best of both worlds. Here comes an alternative solution from Scyther.

Scythe's new BIG Shuriken CPU Cooler is a compact and silent cpu heatsink. It measures 58mm high and can perfectly fit in any small chassis. The Scythe Big Shuriken heatsink features 4 copper heatpipes, a 10mm thick 119x119mm square aluminum cooling fins and a 120mm PWM fan that spins at 900-1600 RPM. It is compatible with Intel's Socket 478, 775/1156/1366 and the entire AMD processor family. (source: http://www.scythe-eu.com/en/products/cpu-cooler/big-shuriken.html)
