Introduction
All computers have one thing in common, if you own a simple office/work PC, a High-end gaming rig, an all-round PC or a server you surely have a CPU cooler. Most simple users just use the stock Intel or AMD cooler the more advanced users and self builders normal will have an aftermarket air cooler, then you have the people who have a closed loop water cooler and at last we have the crazy people with awesome custom loop watercoolers.
Now my point is you need a cooler! and for the standard users the Intel or AMD stock air cooler will suffice but for people who build there PC themselves I always recommend buying minimum an aftermarket air cooler, Better cooling performance, quieter (unless you use crappy fans) and it just looks more bad-ass.
If you want to buy an aftermarket air cooler you have a shitload of choice, But today we will take a look to the Scythe Ashura, a relatively new cooler from Scythe.
In case you don’t know Scythe, here is a little bit of information about the company:
“Scythe Co., Ltd., began its operation and business since November, 2002 as a distributor and the manufacturer of passive and low-noise PC parts. Since then, the company has established the R&D facility in Taiwan & China for production and quality control, and the USA office (in Los Angeles, California) & European office (in Hamburg, Germany) for customer care and sales support. 
At Scythe, we believe that the best ideas for product come simply from knowing customers’ needs and their expectations. Based on this philosophy, the PC enthusiasts working at Scythe know what to develop because that is exactly what we would like to have for ourselves too! We offer products with 100% quality assurance and total pride, and if the product has the Scythe name on it, you can rest assure that its quality will be up to the “Zero Tolerance” standards!”
We’ll be testing the Scythe Ashura CPU cooler using my usual test rig which is made up of … MSI Z87 G45 motherboard, an Intel Core I5 4670K processor, 8GB corsair Vengeance Pro 1600Mhz DDR3 ram, and a nice Corsair AX860w Power Supply.
OK, let’s not waist anymore time and continue with our testing …
