Scythe Kozuti Low Profile CPU Cooler, SCKZT-1000

If space is limited and you need a quiet, low profile CPU cooler then the Kozuti could be it!

The Kozuti stands just 40mm tall which makes it an ideal CPU cooler where space is limited. Scythe have achieved this low height by placing the fan underneath the heatsink fins instead of on the top. This obviously reduces the height of the cooler but does not affect its performance.

Features

Low profile cooler, only 40mm tall!
Very quiet 4-pin PWM fan, from only 8.2 dBA
Stealth fan mounting structure (SFMS)
Three oval-shaped heatpipes for quick heat transfer
Compatible with Intel LGA1366/1155/1156/775 and AMD FM1/AM3+/AM3/AM2+/AM2

To generate airflow, Scythe have opted for a PWM 80 x 80 x 10mm fan, which also contributes to keeping down the height of the cooler. The fan produces enough airflow for it to be able to cool CPUs that have a Thermal Design Power (TDP) of 95W, but if you want to keep things as quiet as possible, Scythe recommends the Kozuti for CPUs that generate a maximum of 65W.

Tom’s Hardware

Scythe’s Kozuti is the only thermal solution that can be installed in four different orientations, even on AMD motherboards… and it’s the top performer among the low-profile coolers. Although the Kozuti achieves solid performance at the cost of high fan speeds and corresponding noise levels, it can also run very quietly at idle thanks to a wide RPM range.

The Scythe Kozuti is an impressive little heatsink that performs better than we could’ve imagined. It managed to keep our X4 630 test processor adequately cool even with its fan slowed down to close to an inaudible level. The Kozuti even beat out budget coolers like the Arctic Cooling Alpine 64 and AMD stock heatpipe coolers despite a significant size disadvantage.

Good cooling performance but RAM clearance may be an issue

P Jones, 25th September 2018

This fan is very quiet and cools well within the context that I use it for (i3 7100T: max 35W TDP). Easily mounted onto main board.

On my Asus B250M-A, the nearest RAM socket looks to foul the heat pipe ends when using Kingston HyperX Fury RAM. Turning the cooler through 90 degrees may eliminate the problem but I have not checked and clearance will still be very tight. Not an issue for me with the limited RAM I need for my application. May not be an issue when using plain RAM without the casing - haven’t verified this either way.

I’d recommend stumping up the extra for the slightly smaller Noctua NH-L9i (which I also use in another machine) in preference to this item provided that it meets your heat dissipation requirements. Far better warranty too.
