Scythe Infinity

According to Scythe this is their highest performing cooler. The Infinity is a fairly recent cooler that sports 10 heatpipes with many fins. There is also a thick aluminum heatsink at the base of the cooler to pick up any additional heat off the heatpipes and the copper base plate which rests above the CPU. At the top of the cooler you can see eight small grooves. Like the Andy cooler from Scythe, the 120mm fan that comes with the Infinity is mounted by wire clips which go into these grooves.


The base of the Infinity is perfect, like all premium coolers should be. Included with the heatsink is a 120mm fan, mounting clips for sockets 775, 654/939/AM2 and 478, wire clips for the fan, thermal paste, and instructions.

Installation

Like the Andy, the Infinity has small notches on the sides of the heatsink. In there you would stick the appropriate mounting clips. Next, mount the fan by sticking the ends of the wire clips in the whole where a screw would usually occupy. Then pull the wire clips over the grooves on the heatsink one side at a time. Finally place the heatsink over the CPU socket, line up the cooler’s clips to the holes on the motherboard and push the black stumps through until you hear a click, securing the heatsink to the motherboard.
