We were curious before we tested the Big Shuriken, as other Scythe coolers we tested before (Kabuto and Mugen-2) had shown excellent performances. But we also knew there is no way a cooler with a thin heatsink like this will achieve high performance. Unfortunately, our second opinion prevaled: its performance was below the top shelf coolers.

But we cannot deny this is a silent cooler with higher performance than the stock copper base Intel cooler (and therefore, far higher than the simpler cooler that comes with most low TDP CPUs) and it is an interesting option for the user that has a low profile or SFF case and wants to replace the stock cooler with another one, with best performance and less noise, and obviously cannot install a big, high performance cooler, into his case.

But if is not your case, there is no reason to reccomend the Big Shuriken for purchase.
