Scythe Ashura SCASR-1000 Heatsink Review @ Frostytech

Love the logo on Scythe products, hate their fans.

On the review bench today we have Scythe's Ashura heatsink; this is a fairly standard tower cooler equipped with a 140mm fan. The Ashura cooler stands 162mm tall, making it suitable for full tower cases where AIO liquid coolers are often too bulky.

This is actually a rather large tower cooler when compared to other more standard towers.  I find that this is done for one of three reasons.  1) everyone else is making big coolers, 2) need more heat capacity, 3) looking to make their coolers quiet

Which one do you think they decided on.
