14 DAY TRIAL // All central processing units come accompanied by their own, reference cooler, but such mechanisms are not always suitable to all end-users’ needs. Particularly, it is high-end users, overclockers and enthusiasts in general who need to purchase a special cooling mechanism, mostly because the reference devices can't cope with the heat generated by higher clocks. In seeking to provide such end-users with the solution to their problems, Scythe has revealed the rapid approach of the Yasya.
Yasya is the first cooler from Scythe to use the T.M.L.F. (Trident Multi Layer Fin) structure. This design was only recently developed and maximizes the cooling surface in order to increase the effectiveness of the heatsink. The cooler does this through a special layout of the fins and heatpipes, in an unparallel design that minimizes static pressure loss and maximizes heat transfer. The remaining caloric energy is dispersed by a 120mm fan.
With the performance side covered by the special design, Scythe decided to also make its device user-friendly by giving it an easy mounting system. Known as the V.T.M.S. (Versatile Tool-Free Multiplatform System), the system does not need the motherboard to be removed for the heatsink mounting. This extra dose of convenience complements Yasya's versatility, which is best represented by its wide CPU support. Specifically, the cooler is compatible with not just the LGA775, LGA1156 and LGA1366 sockets from Intel, but will also work on most AMD sockets, namely 754, 939, 940, AM2, AM2+ and AM3.
As far as the rest of the specs are concerned, Yasya measures 130 x 108,5 x 159 mm and has a 120 x 120 x 25 mm fan with support for PWM. Of course, consumers wishing to manually set their fan speed may do so. Speed options include between 470 to 1,370 rpm, as well as 740 to 1,900 rpm. As always, full information may be found on the official product page.
