The price point is perhaps just a bit too high for what you get in return. Might be one that's worth waiting for a drop or sale

In terms of the design and performance, there's very little to fault with the Scythe Big Shuriken 3. In fact, the biggest problem this cooler likely has is the price point. It's one that may confuse consumers. This looks like a simple low-profile upgrade...
Abstract: Introduction Here at TBG, we have a thing for coolers. In fact, at this point, we've tested more coolers than any other PC component, with nearly 50 under our belt. That means we have a very good sense of what the best models are, and more importantly, wh...

The Big Shuriken 3 is a great looking cooler with its matte black shroud and black/gray Kaze Flex Slim fan; it will definitely blend in with almost any build theme. I can appreciate the Kaze Flex Slim being pre-installed out-of-the-box and the inclusion o...
Easy to install, Quiet operation during load, No clearance issues
Outperformed by two other low-profile coolers, Price is high based on performance
As we mentioned at the beginning of this review there are not a whole lot of options for a low-profile air cooler these days. Scythe has put together a pretty good cooler in their Big Shuriken 3, although we would not recommend this cooler for someone who...

There are no ifs, no ands, and no buts about it the Scythe Big Shuriken 3 is a nearly perfectly executed design. One in which the designers had a goal and not only hit the bullseye by actually raised the bar on what can be expected from small form-factor...
Good performance for a low-profile cooler, Whisper quiet, Easy to install, Good build quality, No RGB will appeal to some
Thermal throttled in OC FPU test, Lack of RGB for the gamer crowd, Possible expansion slot clearance issue on some motherboards
The Scythe Shuriken 3 can be found at retail for $44.99/€52.85. Good performance for a low-profile cooler Whisper quiet Easy to install Good build quality No RGB will appeal to some Thermal throttled in OC FPU test Lack of RGB for the gamer crowd Possibl...
$45. That's the cost of this extremely attractive looking heatsink that trade blows with Noctua's NH-L12 that had an MSRP of $65 when it was on the market. Today, a similar option from Noctua would be the 70mm NH-L12S priced at $50 but then… beige.When th...
