Cooling Stability of Push Pins - Scythe Orochi

I'm gonna take a wild stab in the dark and guess he didn't want that motherboard.....

 

yeh i guess he didnt want it. It was sad that he abused that motherboard for the sake of showing the strength of the push pins

 

Stability of Push Pins RELOADED - Scythe Orochi at Drop Test



He breaks the Orochi in this test but not the mount


.

 

that is one huge hsf!! crazy

 

Designed for silence not performance which sadly alot of people don't get and slag it off.

What intrigues me is why he decided to waste a perfectly good EP35/EP43-DS3 motherboard for the sake of showing push pins.

And the Orochi is a great HS if you want truly silent performance, or just don't want a CPU cooler fan and use case fans as cooling.

 

still, push pins are evil. good ol' elbow grease plus a few washers using thermalright bolt-through kit is the way to go.

 

Nobody said the mobo was in working condition.

 

I'm still trying to find the perfect case for one.

 

ATX Full towers.....

HAF932 and the 1200 being the cheapest.

not the prettiest though.

 

problem with even the biggest case is getting the fan in as the Northbridge heatsink can cause a problem with bottom mount and the space between the Motherboard and PSU can cause a problem with Top mount.

Rather why not use case fans? Instead of using a fan on the Orochi, make it passive and then just use the case fans to suck out the air.

 

The Orochi 140mm fan has it's fan pitch set for the fin pitch of the Orochi and only spins at 500rpm and is very hard to hear.

This is what is sounds like and is so quiet you can hear finger noise being moved on the Rec equipment
