At first glance the Scythe Ninja makes me think of vegetable slicers that I have seen in some kitchens. Twenty-three aluminum fins stacked horizontally compose the main heat-dispersion area with six u-bent heatpipes transferring the heat from the processor to the fins. The boxy design of the Ninja gives the heatsink roughly half a meter of surface area over all the fins along with a smaller finned heatsink sitting sandwiched between the baseplate and the aluminum fins. Measuring in at 110mm by 110mm by 150mm and 665 grams, some consideration needs to be taken as to where you will utilize this heatsink. Most SFF cases won’t be capable of housing this heatsink and even some midtower cases may not be wide enough for the heatsink to fit. When trying to make a decision, remember that if your case has a side-fan to factor that into the dimensions as a few users have complained about the heatsink being too tall. On a select few motherboards the socket has been positioned too far towards the top of the motherboard and the heatsink may collide with the powersupply if the case doesn’t have enough clearance between the board and the powersupply. To test for compatibility I suggest measuring 6cm from the center of your socket and checking that the heatsink will clear your powersupply. The actual heatpipes may be in close proximity to the Northbridge depending on the motherboard, on my DS3 there is less than 1mm of clearance however neither heatsink makes contact.
