Installation
Installation of the Scythe IORI Scior-1000 is quite simple and easy, as it should
be on a CPU cooler aimed at entry-level market. Scythe is using a different clip
system on
the IORI
. Scythe has
decided to go for a push-pin system
which is
quite similar to Intel
's stock
cooler mounting
mechanism. The thermal compound is not
pre-applied and come in a small bag. The overall pressure on the CPU is quite good
and you get Intel LGA 775/1150/1155/1156/1366 mounting kit
which is also
compatible with AMD AM2(+), AM3(+), FM1 and FM2
sockets.
Since the Scythe IORI Scior-1000 is an overall rather small cooler there
will not be any
compatibility issues with memory
kits with large
r
heatspreaders
. We mounted and tested the cooler with
both the standard ATX and ITX motherboards.
Putting the fan in place can be quite a challenge,
since the clips fit very tight
lz, but once
it is done
, you can be sur
e that
the fan
will not move a tenth of a millimeter anymore.
It is also worth mentioning that the
clips are only compatible
with 10mm tall fans.
