SCYTHE - CPU Cooler - NINJA 3 - SCNJ-3000
The third edition of the Ninja CPU cooler comes along with a revised high-performance design. Ninja 3 CPU cooler has eight u-shaped heat pipes constructed and the optimized fin structure named as M.A.P.S. (Multiple Airflow Pass-Through Structure). The airflow generated by the Scythe Slip Stream 120 PWM Adjustable fan can effectively cool the heatsink.

I need to run my 6 core Intel 980X PC silently so I got the biggest heatsink I could find at a reasonable price... Yep, it's big, and it works well for me.
It comes well packed with a quite silent fan included and a couple of alternative chip/mobo attachments. Oh, it also comes with thermo paste so no need to buy any separately.
Installation was reasonably straightforward, and was about as fiddly as most other heatsinks I've installed. It's big and heavy so it takes some care. The most fiddly bit is fitting the fan because it clips on with springy wires, the instructions aren't great on this and it's a tricky job to get it to clip on. One piece of advice I'd give is to size the mobo up in your case but don't install it, decide which side you want or have to put the fan (the mobo might obstruct some sides for example), and then put the fan on with the mobo out of the case. Note, the fan fits onto the side of the sink, not the top.
As an aside, I'll just mention that this heatsink is too big to fit in my Antec P193 case. But that's not the fault of the Ninja at all because the P193 case has an internal side fan which reduces the space available above the mobo.
So, back to the heatsink... Installing the heatsink is one thing, but the included fan also comes with a PCI backplane plate to control the fan speed (which isn't really mentioned in the online specifications), so you have to locate this somewhere. I didn't have any PCI slots left in my PC so I just left it hanging around inside.
As a test I set the fan on lowest speed and stress tested my 6 cores at 100% for a 1/2 hour or so and had no problems at all with the temperature. Very satisfactory in this respect. The heatsink stayed warm to the touch throughout.
As for silent running which is what I need, the fan is not the best in the world and it has a slight clicking sound to it. But, running it at low speed makes it almost inaudible so I'm happy with that. My hard drives clicking makes more noise.
One more piece of advice - check that you really need a third party heatsink! It was unmentioned in any of the online specifications that my 6 core 980X intel chip actually came with a very chunky heatsink and fan completely free and gratis so I probably could have used this instead if I'd have known.

I use this with my new AMD Phaenom II X6 1100T processor.
Before I got it I watched every video tutorial I could find on how to install this cooler, so I was expecting a big piece, but when it arrived I was a bit shocked at how big it was.
The installation was a bit difficult, but I managed to do it by placing the cooler on the table and then putting the motherboard on top of it. I had to move the motherboard to fit the screw holes and I was afraid that the thermal paste might not cover the entire contact surface, but the processor temperatures are in the acceptable limits (53°C after 2 hours of Crysis)
The fan was also difficult to install because the tension from the wires that hold the fan is on the top and bottom fins which look very fragile and was afraid not to break them.
At first I was afraid that in a normal position the cooler might put too much pressure on the motherboard, but I gently raised the case and there was no problem (it does apply a bit of pressure on the motherboard but my Sabertooth 990FX seems to handle it).
The problem that I have with this cooler is that it goes over the first RAM slot and I have 2 RAM modules with big heat spreaders so I had to move the modules to the second channel. I want to specify that without the heat spreader the RAM modules would fit under the cooler, but that would also mean that if I want to access that RAM module I would have to remove the cooler, not very practical.
Regarding the noise levels, sometimes I don't realize that the PC is on. I have a hdd connected to my router that makes more noise than the PC. I want to specify that I only have 3 fans active: cpu, power supply and video card. I have two more fans that will be active when my new power supply arrives.
Overall it is an excellent cooler, I haven't tried overclocking yet, but I'm sure the cooler can handle it.
