Scythe is announcing today a new High-End TOP-Flow CPU Cooler by the name “Grand Kama Crossâ€, which is the successor of former Kama Cross CPU Cooler.

Grand Kama Cross is based on an X Structure layout using total of four 8 mm copper heatpipes for fast transfer of heat from the copper base to the aluminum fins. Thanks to the X Structure Design, easier mounting on CPU sockets as well as higher compatibility to tall RAM and Northbridge coolers are accomplished.

We already have one of them and it is made by Thermalright.

Do you cool your RAM by blowing hot air onto it?

The air is only as hot as the CPU so if it keeps the CPU cool then the air will be cool. Not to mention the air doesn't pick up all of the heat when it blows by, especially at high speeds. So actually the air will be cooler than the CPU.

Top-down coolers have always done this. When i7 was release and i7 coolers were compared, the stock box cooler allowed for noticeably lower temperatures of other components on the motherboard. Ever seen the Asus P6T? its heat sinks are made to specifically take advantage of a top-down CPU cooler like the stock intel i7's.



and a very random quote from SPCR to help you understand:

Quote:


Most core i7 boards have passive heat pipe cooling for chipset & VRM area. Regardless of this they tend to get very hot, especially in setups where overclocking, low air-flow inside the case, or side-to-side cpu cooling is used.

For this reason, this thread is dedicated to top-down coolers that, esp. ones that have a LGA 1366 (e.g. Core i7) retention mechanism. That is, heatsinks that work by allowing a downward airflow from the fan towards the cpu socket. This offers some auxiliary cooling for chipset, RAM and VRM and other related motherboard areas near the CPU socket.

The xigmatek S1283 also ships with a fin to direct airflow to the mosfets as well.

The old Kama Cross was trounced in tests and I'm not holding out much hope for this since the Tuniq Tower was improved upon by the TRUE, the TRUE was improved upon by the Megahalem and now the Megahalem has been toppled.

Unless there are some gremlins in there, this won't stand a chance.

Now they need to make one where the fan is below the fins and pushes air up away from the CPU and Mobo....now that would be innovative and some people might actually get a use for those side panel holes next to our CPUs as exhaust.
