Scythe Andy

Scythe has been has been both a performance and low noise leader for about a year now. The Andy cooler is their newest addition to the high power team. All of Scythe’s coolers feature quiet 100mm (or larger) fans, many of which can be easily replaced because they are held together by wire clips |(the only exception is the Scythe Mine). The Andy has six heatpipes and many fins spaced in groups of three stemming from the base up.


The large base is very well finished since you can see every detail of our nickel. Included with the cooler are 775, 754/939/AM2 and 478 clips, as well as instructions and some thermal grease in cheap plastic.

Installation

On the sides of the Andy, there are four notches, two on each side. In there fit the 775 mounting clips. Press them into the notches with the white ends facing way from the heatsink until it clicks. Then place the heatsink assemble over the motherboard and press down on the black stumps until they click and secure the cooler onto the base. This is a short process, but as we noted before sometimes, the black stumps won’t go down, and you must adjust them. This can get quite annoying if you do this more than a couple of times.
