While the CPU Cooler trend of "Bigger is Better" has been debunked by such puny newcomers as the OCZ Vendetta, Scythe carries on it's tradition of mammoth sized coolers with the all copper release of it's popular Ninja line. Featuring an (almost) all copper construction and a breadth to challenge a sumo wrestler, can the Ninja's girth let it push it's way to the top or does the effective new HDT technology mean it's time for a diet? HardwareLogic's got the score to see who wins in the Cooler Battle of the Bulk.
In a day and age where everything is getting smaller, and more efficient, Scythe's newest cooler, the Ninja Coper Edition, bucks the trend. Weighing in at over 1000g (Thats a friggin' kilogram!!!), the Ninja Copper Edition is the larget cooler we've ever had on the HL test bench . While there's a fair segment out there that truly believes bigger is better (we definitely get enough "natural male enhancement" emails to prove this), theres an even larger segment that believes that there is a point of diminishing returns, and at some point that excess, which makes a product special....can also in the end be its biggest enemy.
