Compared to the previous model, the Big Shuriken 3 is equipped with an additional heatpipe and another row of cooling fins. These improvements, combined with a Kaze Flex slim fan (only 15mm) 300 (± 200rpm) ~ 1800 (± 10%) rpm, enabled higher cooling efficiency.
Using a conventional cooling method, where the air from the fan flows against the motherboard, also allows cooling of the chipset and transistors. With a height of 69mm, it is designed primarily for HTPC and similar space-restricted systems.
Supported Sockets:
Intel: LGA 775/115x/1366/2011 (V3)/2066
AMD: AM2 (+)/AM3 (+)/AM4/FM1/FM2 (+)
