Conclusions
Hardware Secrets Golden Award

Scythe Kabuto proved to be an excellent cooler. Its performance was similar to the best coolers we tested with this methodology. This, combined with its lower price tag compared to its competitors, turns it into an excellent buying option.

Its three independent heatsinks (four, if we also count the lower heatsink attached to its base) at first seemed to us just like a cosmetic feature, but proved to be very efficient.

Kabuto fan has a very low noise level, so it is also one of the quieter coolers we tested to date.

Its only weak point is its looks, in our opinion. Kabuto is not beautiful nor has an aggressive looks; so, if you are a fanatic casemodder, have a nice acrylic side window and like to enjoy a high-tech look inside your computer, Kabuto will not help. It is even an injustified name, since the ancient samurai kabutos were very adorned, and the most ranked the samurai was, the fancier the helmet. So, this name does not match its Spartan looks.

Anyway, if you think performance, silence and low price are more important than looks, you can buy Scythe Kabuto without fear.
