Scythe is really known for their air CPU Coolers, and we’ve tested a good handful over the past couple of years. Today we are checking out their Grand Kama Cross 3, which has a very unique design. While the design is a little unconventional, it might actually turn out to be a very effective cooler. The unique design is what Scythe calls their X-Struktur design that makes use of two large heatsinks, 4 large 8mm-thick copper heatpipes, and a 140 mm GlideStream 140 PWM fan. Let’s see what the Grand Kama Cross 3 can do!
Special thanks to Scythe for providing us with the Grand Kama Cross 3 CPU Cooler to review.

On the back of the box you’ll find information on the warranty in a few different languages. Then on the sides you have information on the different technologies that the cooler makes use of as well as a list of specifications and measurements.
