Installation

Installation of the Scythe IORI Scior-1000 is quite simple and easy, as it should be on a CPU cooler aimed at entry-level market. Scythe is using a different clip system on the IORI. Scythe has decided to go for a push-pin system which is quite similar to Intel's stock cooler mounting mechanism. The thermal compound is not pre-applied and come in a small bag. The overall pressure on the CPU is quite good and you get Intel LGA 775/1150/1155/1156/1366 mounting kit which is also compatible with AMD AM2(+), AM3(+), FM1 and FM2 sockets.

Since the Scythe IORI Scior-1000 is an overall rather small cooler there will not be any compatibility issues with memory kits with larger heatspreaders. We mounted and tested the cooler with both the standard ATX and ITX motherboards. Putting the fan in place can be quite a challenge, since the clips fit very tightlz, but once it is done, you can be sure that the fan will not move a tenth of a millimeter anymore. It is also worth mentioning that the clips are only compatible with 10mm tall fans.
