  Review: Scythe Kamakaze CPU cooler
The Kamakaze also comes with this mounting frame to allow it to be used on Pentium 4s; the frame replaces the standard P4 cooler retainer (it's only slightly different, but the Kamakaze still won't fit a stock frame), so you can't attach it to a motherboard that's installed in a case already.
There were no fasteners for the frame included with the Kamakaze I got for review, but Scythe tell me they've now noted that you can't always re-use the fasteners that held your factory installed frame in place, so they're now bundling a bag of fasteners (and some heat sink grease) with all Kamakazes.
Even allowing for a more conservative clip tightness setting and less-than-optimal thermal grease application, the Kamakaze at full power should be up to the task of cooling pretty much any Socket A CPU in a case with passable ventilation, unless you're determined to hunt that very last few per cent of overclockability.

  Kamakaze
Looking at the Kamakaze, I was struck by the resemblance to Alpha's heatsink construction - the copper base is fit into the aluminum base which holds the cooling pins.
The Kamakaze was tested on the CPU Die Simulator which gives results that are unaffected by motherboard influences.
Scythe's Kamakaze is well made and an OK choice for modest, low-noise Socket A/P4 cooling; performance varies quite a bit depending on fan rpms.

 BigBruin.Com - Scythe Kamakaze Heatsink Review
According to Scythe, this spelling of “Kamakaze” is Japanese for “Scythe Wind”.
The Scythe Kamakaze appears to be built to the highest of quality standards.
Although there isn’t much difference in the amount of noise produced, the speed at which the fan is turning (RPM) is where the difference is. A fan turning at 3400 RPM can be expected to be quieter than a fan turning any amount higher.

 Review: Kamakaze HSF by Scythe | silentpcreview.com   (Site not responding. Last check: )
The Kamakaze CPU heatsink by Scythe in Japan is an unusual product in many ways.
Kamakaze (more often spelled kamikaze) is a Japanese word that means "divine wind", coined to describe the historic typhoon that destroyed an invading Mongol fleet on route to Japan in the 13th century.
The shroud is used to force the airflow to come into the HS nearer the bottom half of the aluminum heatsink pins, which is closer to the heat source, the CPU.

 Scythe Kamakaze 2 HSF Review - ap0calypse - The Last Stop in Tech
The Kamakaze 2 isn’t the most aesthetic looking cooler, but as long as it gets the job done that’s fine by me. As you can see below an 80mm fan mounts to the mounting bracket, which screws directly into the base of the heatsink.
The Kamakaze 2 comes shipped with a variable speed, 80mm fan which is controlled by a dial which mounts on a PCI bracket.
The first step in installing the Kamakaze 2 was to put the P4 mounting bracket on the motherboard’s HSRB (Heat Sink Retention Bracket).

 BurnOutPC.com & GamingObjects.com - Articles - Scythe Kamakaze   (Site not responding. Last check: )
Today's market for CPU cooling is widely spread, Swiftech has gained ground for the better overclockers, Intel has always included their own designed cooler which comes stock with the boxed Intel pentiums, coolers such as those are not enough for the overclockers and modders out there, they want silence, a flat base, and performance.
The Kamakaze cooler resembles the look of those older Alpha coolers which there "the hype" back in the old days, the brackets used to assemble the cooler onto the motherboard is attached to a base which has a little screw.
It seems we've got ourselves a winner here, it might not be "the" cooler for modders with windows in their computers because the Kamakaze cooler definitely hasn't won the beauty contest, but that doesn't matter because the temperatures are right, and the overall performance of this cooler is above standard.

Another nice feature is that the Kamakaze supports multiple processors, P4, PIII, and AMD socket A chips.
While the wires may be a problem, the this cooler is of a high quality, seen by the high gloss shine of copper on the bottom.
Most of the weight distribution is from the slab of copper even though it looks like it should be from the contraption holding on the fan.
