Scythe have made some uniquely shaped coolers in the past but perhaps not as strange as some of Zalman's designs. This cooler has a V shape to it with the inner parts of that V being extended up until they touch the cooling fan and to give a bit more surface area for heat to dissipate to. That could have made the cooler much shorter than other heatsinks if it wasn't for the height of the heatpipes beneath the actual heatsink. That does give you a lot of clearance for RAM with tall heatspreaders, something many other coolers do not offer. Check out [H]ard|OCP's review to see if the cooler is as quiet and effective as the advertising claims.
"Many times in the world of CPU cooling, heatsinks look much the same from one to the next. The Grand Kama Cross 2 caught our eye due to its very unique design and we wanted to see if there was more to it than just aesthetics. The design is somewhat reminiscent of V type engine, but let's see if it has any horsepower to back it up."
