One of the best affordable coolers I've paid for.
Strengths: Extremely efficient heat management, "smaller" form factor, fanless operation in most cases, mounting was a "breeze"
Weakness: The heatsink is a tad larger than expected but there isn't much inside my case so it didn't effect it.
This heatsink is fantastic. I am currently using it inside my HTPC (Fusion v2 enclosure) on a AMD X2 4400+ processor. The processor idles at 29c and 35c under load. I am running the heatsink fanless and have had no problems so far. The heatsink does its job fantastically and helps in keeping my HTPC as silent as possible. I highly recommend this heatsink and will most likely be replacing my...

Ninja Mini on a Socket 939 AMD X2 4200+
Strengths: easy installation. works like a charm. keeps CPU incredibly cool whether in my desktop w/ a fan attached or in my HTPC w/o a fan attached. super quiet either or!!
Weakness: 1) That it didn't come w/ the 120mm fan clips so I can see that makes a difference vs the 80 and 92mm fans. 2) I didn't use the included compound, I used MX-2. so I can't write about that.
Bought this fan because i read it was a perfect fit for my HTPC case (antec NSK2480) and it is! But I also used it in my desktop for a bit and it worked just as good as my Arctic Cooling Freezer Pro 64. Highly recommend this heat sink for desktop and HTPC uses!

Nice Little CPU Cooler
Strengths: Very efficient. Low noise fan. Much smaller than regular CPU coolers.
Weakness: Not really weakness. But still bigger than stock cooler.
Very efficient. Even without the cooling fan. Low noise fan. Much smaller than regular CPU coolers. However it's still twice as big as stock CPU cooler. Not all micro ATX cases can handle it.

Good passive cooling
Strengths: Keeps CPU cool without having to use the included fan.
Weakness: Quite large. I would never describe the heatsink as "Mini".
The great thing about this is you don't need to use the fan to get adequate cooling on your CPU. The heatsink is able to dissipate heat well enough without it. I do not overclock so I cannot attest to the passive performance under that condition.

Scythe Ninja Mini CPU Cooler
Strengths: Relatively easy install; good performer; low height
Weakness: So-So Fan
I recently got an Antec HTPC case, and wanted a CPU cooler that would keep my Intel E6850 cool under overclocking scenarios. This case is not overly tall, so after some research, this was one of the only effective CPU coolers that would fit. Height wise it wasn't an issue, but it is a little tight between my RAM sticks and the fan. For an Intel LGA775 install, you need to pull the motherboard out...
