Review on πŸ’¨ The Scythe Mugen 5 Black Edition CPU Air Cooler by Jason Mulah

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Better H100i: Fans and Cooling

So I had to replace my NEW capellix h100i because the pump was noisy (even on the quiet profile). I chose to air cool my 3600 and the Mugen reviews were very good for the price. The black version of Mugen is absolutely beautiful. EVERYTHING is black coated, even the fan clips! Mounting on the AM4 was extremely easy with the standard backplate. It runs at temperatures of around 39-42 degrees Celsius when idling, under load it is a maximum of 72 degrees continuous operation on Cinebench. Idle temperatures were better than on my 240 aio and also under load. It offers better performance than AIO and is much quieter. Judging by the reviews, it's almost identical to the Mugen Rev.B. It works very quietly, it is almost inaudible when idling. The supplied fan is very high quality and in my opinion it competes with Noctua fans. Overall I am very happy with the cooler. Scythe is definitely a quality company and will look into their products in the future. would recommend
