Video card heatsink, Scythe Setsugen 2
Today we will analyze a video card cooler produced by Scythe: the Setsugen 2. Now in its second revision, the Setsugen is equipped with a 120 mm fan slim type, with the ultimate goal of occupying only one additional slot in addition to the card.We tested it on an HD 4870, comparing it with other coolers in its price range.

Noise
The fan of the stock sink proved to be very noisy at 100% and only tolerable at rotation speeds of less than 40%.
The Scythe Setsugen 2 proved to be quite quiet at full speed and completely inaudible with fan at 800 RPM, similar to that seen with other custom heatsinks used in the comparison, but with different structures (bi-fan).
