Pros & Cons

The AI used to provide these results are constantly improving. These results might change.

Pros

When the heatsink starts to seem saturated, cpu idles around 45-50*c. Max temp in cinebench r23 79c, while gaming 55-65c. Gaming and streaming even with the settings cranked keeps the processor nice and cool.

Coolermaster hyper 212 evo is a great cooling solution for a high speed, high watt cpu. The cooling performance is also excellent and has zero issues keeping my i5-12600k cool even under high load using synthetic benchmarks. This drop in temps is like... Read More

Yes, if upgrading from stock cooler, or looking for a quiet option. The best thing about this cooler over the wraith prism is the lack of fan noise. Noise levels are very quiet, almost unnoticeable.

There are tons of mounting options for this cooler as well, depending on the cpu socket. The scythe website for the mugen 5s features an lga 1700 icon, which might lead you to believe that it's compatible with that socket. Lga 1700 support requires an... Read More

Price

A beast of a air cooler at an affordable price

A great cooler at a great price i highly recommend

I wasnt going to pay an extra ten bucks for something that should already be included so i got the rev

The price you pay for the performance offered is fantastic

Shipping

The first one i ordered came pretty bent in the corner and scythe had a replacement shipped within 24 hours

Packaging/appearance

The packaging is nice comes with a quality phillips head screw driver

This packaging was clearly not enough to prevent damage during shipping

The heat sink was just wrapped in a thin piece of foam and thrown in the box

Competitiveness

It cooled my cpu better than liquid cooling which cost so much money and this did an excellent job in comparison

Currently running this in nzxt h210 with a 3080 ti and ryzen 5900x this cooler is wonderful at keeping my system cool i have us... Read More

Overall i really only see thermalright and noctua as having any truly competitive alternative to this fan but the two other bra... Read More

Other models scythe fuma ii can be found cheaper and perform just as well
