We didn’t really start reviewing Scythe products until a couple of years ago, but even we’ll admit, it was a huge surprise to see just how popular their products have been our community. As such, whenever something new is coming from Scythe, you can rest assured we’re badgering them as much as possible to get it so we can bring you the latest review!
So, what do we have this time? Well, in announcing a new low-profile air cooler, the Shuriken 2 looks to provide a lot of bang for a very reasonable amount of buck!
Admittedly, the naming of this product does create some confusion as there is a slightly larger variant known as the ‘Big Shuriken 2’ as well as a prior ‘Shuriken’. For the sake of clarity though, the specific product name associated with this model is the “SCSK-2000”.
So, essentially we’re looking at a semi-refresh/new product launch with the Shuriken 2. For what purpose though? Well, this new design effectively looks to bridge the gap between those two aforementioned coolers by offering improved levels of cooling performance while still being a more than effective low-profile option.

“Thanks to its compact dimensions and low height of only 58 mm, the Shuriken 2 is ideally suited for ITX systems and other confined applications. A remarkable cooling capacity is achieved for its size. Four heat pipes transfer the heat from the CPU to the compact heat sink, which is only slightly larger than the decoupled 92 mm fan.
The PWM controlled fan comes from the Kaze Flex series and, despite the reduced height of only 16mm, is equipped with a Fluid Dynamic Bearing (FDB) archieving an average lifespan of 100,000 hours. The assembly is as easy as usual by utilizing the proven HPMS III Mounting System and a pre-installed mounting bar with spring-loaded screws. The Shuriken 2 combines the advantages of Scythe coolers in a space-saving and compact solution.”
