Taipei, Taiwan – Scythe, a renowned Japanese manufacturer of cooling solutions, has launched its latest compact downforce CPU cooler, the SHURIKEN 3, in Taiwan. Priced at NT$1190 (approximately 264 RMB), the new cooler was first showcased at the Taipei International Information Technology Show in 2024 and has now hit the shelves.
The SHURIKEN 3 stands out with its ultra-compact design, featuring a full height of just 39mm. This makes it an ideal choice for builds with limited space, particularly for small form factor (SFF) systems and builds where vertical clearance is a concern. The cooler is designed with a nickel-plated copper base and an internal sunken structure to optimize heat dissipation.
Equipped with a 9216 specification fan, the SHURIKEN 3 boasts four 6mm heat pipes that are soldered using the reflux soldering process. This technique ensures better thermal conductivity and durability. The cooling solution is mounted on the motherboard’s backside using screws, which provides a stable and secure fit.
One of the key features of the SHURIKEN 3 is its Kaze Flex 92 Slim AH PWM fan, which utilizes a unique Longmen (Dragon Gate) fan frame design. The frame’s four lower corners are hollowed out to reduce air turbulence, allowing for sufficient airflow even at low speeds. This design aims to balance silence and efficiency, making it an attractive option for users who prioritize a quiet computing experience without sacrificing performance.
The Kaze Flex 92 Slim AH PWM fan offers a wide range of speed settings, from 300 to 1500 RPM, with an airflow of 4.96 to 36.45 CFM. The static pressure ranges from 0.02 to 1.99 mmH2O, and the noise level is between 1.8 to 31.78 dB(A). These specifications indicate that the fan is designed to deliver efficient cooling while maintaining a low noise level.
In terms of compatibility, the SHURIKEN 3 comes with installation kits for a variety of CPU sockets. It supports Intel LGA 1851, 1700, 1200, and 115X, as well as AMD AM5 and AM4 platforms. Additionally, the cooler is equipped with standard 25mm thickness fan mounting screws, ensuring that users can easily install the cooler without any compatibility issues.
The launch of the SHURIKEN 3 is a significant addition to Scythe’s lineup of CPU coolers, particularly for users in Taiwan who are looking for a high-performance, compact cooling solution. The price point of NT$1190 positions it as a mid-range option, making it accessible to a wide range of users.
According to the official statement from Scythe, the SHURIKEN 3 is designed to offer superior cooling performance in a compact form factor, making it an ideal choice for enthusiasts and professionals who demand the best cooling solutions for their high-performance systems.
