We managed to score some pictures of Scythe's new Setsugen VGA cooler that should be ready in next couple of months. The new cooler brings some quite interesting features and it will be the first Scythe VGA cooler that will support Nvidia's GTX 260 card.

Setsugen weighs 390g without a fan and will be bundled with the Slip Stream 120mm Slim fan that should provide decent airflow without making the entire cooler thick. The fan itself will have VR, so you will be able to adjust the speed. The new VGA cooler took a lot from its CPU cousin, the Mugen 2 as it features the same fin structure which splits air resistance into four segments thus giving higher cooling performance, at least in theory.

It also features four 6mm heatpipes, and will be bundled with NVIO chip and voltage regulator heatsink if you decide to slap it on Nvidia's GTX 260 card. The best part of the entire concept is that it pushes the air away from the VGA card, which is rather interesting, as most VGA coolers either push it across the card and out of the case or directly on the card.

The new concept might work out well, as it certainly looks interesting, but we will hold out until we see some numbers.

Here are some pictures of the new cooler.
