NCU-2000
Q: Does NCU-2000 work for AMD chip?
A: Yes, the NCU-1000 was not compatible to AMD, but the new version NCU-2000 is compatible to AMD Athlon64 (socket 754). It will physically fit onto socket 939/940, but Scythe does not recommend the NCU-2000 to be used with these sockets. NCU-2000 does not fit onto socket A(462).

Q: What is the maximum CPU I can use with NCU-2000?
A: Scythe do not specify the maximum CPU frequency for NCU-2000 as every user has a different way of using the PC/Software as well as the stress onto the CPU. We recommend a user to monitor the CPU temperature carefully if using a high CPU frequency.

NCU-1000
Q: Does NCU-1000 work for AMD chip?
A: Unfortunately, the answer is No. Due to heat volume generated from AMD chip & its different socket design, NCU-1000 cannot be installed for AMD chip.

Q: I installed the heatsink correctly, but my idle temperature is high.. what's wrong?
A: Please check to make sure your heatsink is securely installed. Touch the top of heatsink (fin) to make sure the heatsink is warm (this is to make sure the working fluid is circulating throughout the heatsink). Make sure to use thermal compound for both CPU die as well as to the copper plate. The ideal idle temperature should be around 35-40C.

FCS-50 CPU Cooler
Q: What is the ideal direction to install the fan?
A: The answer varies depending on your PC set-up. All parts inside the case will have an effect on the temperature, so you can rotate the Cooler to find out the best direction to install the fan/heatsink.

Kamakaze CPU Cooler
Q: Why Scythe named the CPU cooler "Kamakaze"?
A: To be simple, "Kamakaze" its English translation is "Scythe Wind". Scythe in Japanese is "Kama" and wind in Japanese is "Kaze". The name "Kamikaze" (a suicide bomber) has nothing to do with Scythe Kamakaze CPU cooler.
