The Scythe Mine Rev.B is a funny looking cooler, with a 100mm fan at the center and two separate columns of aluminum cooling fins on either side. Like the Asus Arctic Square Frostytech reviewed previously, (
http://www.frostytech.com/articlevie...articleID=2124) this Scythe heatsink (model no. SCMN-1100) makes use of one large fan to pull air into the heatsink and then expel it. The aluminum fins have a shape oddly resembling the geometry of a stealth fighter, and that seems to work just as well at making the Scythe Mine Rev.B a very quiet heatsink under power. The fan rotates at a fixed speed of 1500 RPM, yet there are no thermal throttling or PWM speed controls. In typical Scythe fashion, this heatsink has been designed with an eye towards thermal efficiency and user-friendliness, leaving entirely cosmetic attributes to the wayside.
