Scythe, a well-known Japanese manufacturer of cooling solutions, is about to release an uncommon CPU cooler.

The cooler accommodates three nickel-plated 6-mm heat pipes, replenished by a single 92-mm fan. The Scythe Slip Stream 92 PWM is based on a sleeve bearing. Thanks to the PWM support, the fan is able to rotate within 300-2300 RPM range. Therewith, the maximal noise level does not surpass the margin of 28.26 dBA (the minimal index is 7.2 dBA).
The model is able to produce 6.70-46.55 CFM airflow, depending on the rotational speed. …
