Review on πŸ’¨ The Scythe Mugen 5 Black Edition CPU Air Cooler by Allan Duman

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Awesome looking cooler, slightly better than the Wraith Prism

I've been waiting for this item ever since it was announced as a replacement for the stock Prism cooler. It looks great, the assembly system is quite simple and if you take your time you can even install it in a stuffed suitcase without having to disassemble everything. Overall this cooler is very good, it's quiet, works well, has a good mounting solution and comes with decent paste. one piece. If you're looking for a more drastic cooling difference, check out Fuma or Ninja. I knew this to be the case so I'm happy with this purchase. Here are some quick tests I ran to compare the stock cooler to the new Mugen 5 BE.
