Appearance

When we got the first of the coolers in for this review the Infinity was the biggest of the bunch but later arrivals made it look like a pygmy. With dimensions of 160(h) x 125(w) x 141(d) mm, though, the Infinity is by no means small and its considerable weight of 960g puts it up among the porkier coolers in this review.



A solid copper base has five double heat-pipes directly attached, each with a substantial decorative capping nut at the top. The Infinity features something that Scythe call IIFS - Infinity Interleave Structure – and that basically means that the fins on the Infinity are overlapped.



The central column of the Infinity features 30 fins and a further 30 on each side are attached to the heat-pipes. This gives a total fin count of 90 and a massive surface area for heat dissipation.

Infinity is one of Scythe's high-performance coolers and so, sensibly enough, gives the buyer the choice of where to mount the included 120mm fan, which is done via the spring clips provided.
