Scythe had alot of coolers on display and if you remember the other huger on they had they are sadly only prototypes, for now anyway. :O

Scythe

The smallest cooler on display was already quite large for a chipset cooler. The Ptoto TYPE has an extremely thin fan sandwiched in between two sets of aluminium fins, each connected with two heatpipes.

The next biggest cooler is a CPU cooler, although a low-profile one. The Shuriken is a relatively large heatsink with another extremely thin fan. According to one of the Scythe guys, the fans are only 12mm thick (0.47 inches), something that only Scythe has been able to achieve in sizes larger than 100mm in diameter. These fans are also extremely quiet, just like we’ve come to know from Scythe products. This cooler is already in stores.

Next up is a GPU cooler, the Mushahi. This is quite a large heatsink with two of the thin fans on top of it, thereby utilizing maximum airflow whilst keeping quiet. In one of the systems on display, the Mushashi was mounted on an HD3870, which is almost totally covered.

We’re getting bigger now with the Ninja 2, an improved version of the original Ninja, using six heatpipes. The Ninja can be operated passively on cooler CPUs, but will need a low RPM fan when cooling higher-end CPUs.

Next up is the Zipang cooler, which unfortunately does not look that large on the picture, but don’t be fooled, it is big! Like most Scythe products, the Zipang is meant to be a quiet but efficient cooling solution, but when adding a higher RPM fan, the Zipang should be good for some more extreme overclocking. Just like the Shuriken, the Zipang is already available at many retailers.

I couldn’t believe my eyes when I saw the Orochi cooler. Scythe says it’s the ultimate passive cooling solution and seeing the size of this thing, I’m sure the company is right! Ten (10) heatpipes transfer the heat from the base to the aluminium fins, but if that’s not enough for you, Scythe includes a 500 RPM 140mm fan with it.

What?! An even bigger cooler? Yep, that’s correct, although the Giant Ninja sadly will never reach any consumers. It’s only a marketing object, but definitely has some potential. Also using ten heatpipes, the Giant Ninja is without a doubt the biggest, fattest and maddest cooler I have ever seen!

Wow that is ridiculous! does it come with extra strength motherboard mounting screws

Gotta love the prototypes shown at CeBit :D

Last year, they demo'd a cooler the size of a side panel alone!
