The Big Shuriken 3 is designed to be compact and low-profile offering maximum memory compatibility and other components on the motherboard.

Asymmetric Design

The Scythe Big Shuriken 3 CPU cooler has its heat pipes oriented backward to give an offset and allow unrestricted access to the motherboard’s memory slots.

Scythe’s HPMS II Mounting System
