To say that the Scythe Ninja has had a significant impact in the performance CPU cooler market is something of an understatement. Since our original review of the product in the summer of 2005, this Japanese aftermarket heatsink has probably sold in the tens of thousands, to PC enthusiasts from every walk, both silencers and performance fanatics. A simple search in the SPCR forums on Feb 25/08 turned up an astounding 3,896 discussion threads in which the word Ninja is mentioned.
Why all the fuss over a heatsink? It appears to have had the precisely the right combination of appealing factors at the right time for PC geeks everywhere.
