Sorry if this has already been discussed here, but I didn't find it...

I found this page from the last Computex
http://pc.watch.impress.co.jp/docs/2005/0602/comp06.htm

there's a lot of new Scythe products !
Maybe someone is a bit experimental...

Not all of them have names from those pictures.

i know the katana is already out and this site has already done a review on it.

i saw somthing that looked like a reserator clone
and what appears to be a copper version of the ninja
and some very large passive vga heatsinks

SPCR stays on top of most new scythe products, and i havnt heard or seen anything on most of those products yet.

Yes, quite interesting. Copper ninja and reserator clone, not too interested in those. However the new videocard coolers look very promising, a sample is pictured here

It looks like it would suit perfectly most of the antec cases that have 12cm exhaust fan right above the pci slot covers - the exhaust air from the fan will be used to cool graphics card as well at no extra noise cost. I wonder why no one has thought of it before. I just pray it will have enough dissapation power to cool my 6800GT>ULTRA...

and the Samurai, Master and Z, looks like the Thermalright XP-90/120

the Samurai Z is on the Scythe web site as "Coming soon"

Wow, that internal VGA cooler is a monster!

It looks like the card's been eaten.

Those external heatsinks look VERY interesting. I emailed Scythe about these back in July, and the rep. who replied said that a model based on this concept (specifically the one that looks like an NCU-2000) would be available "sometime this year." But here it is nearly December and I have yet to hear anything new about them, so who knows.

He also mentioned they were designing a fanless (and I'd assume heatpipe-based -- I should've asked) northbridge heatsink.

i never thought about that, having the exhaust fan blowing over a heatsink outside the case that cools the video card. if they could do that, i think i could definatly get my next system down to just 1x 120mm nexus.

a couple of things concern me though. the air cooling it would be cumulative of all the heat producing components in the entire case. granted its outside the case where its a bit cooler, but still. also i dont know how comfortable i feel with a large heatsink dangling outside my case. i think id want to have it hard mounted to the outside of the case somehow with some sort of shroud around it to protect it
