Review: Small, but powerful 

We don't usually refer to coolers as "sweet", but the new Scythe Kozuti indeed looks "sweet". Only 40mm high, it's designed for small cases and even ITX boards. But while it's not high, it's 10cm wide and that may be a problem for some boards. Regardless, the design is quite radically different, because the fan sits below the cooler and an 8cm fan suggests that it will be pretty loud at 100% speed.
