Scythe Mugen 6 CPU Air Cooler, Intel LGA1700, LGA1151, AMD AM5, AM4 Support,120mm, Single Tower, Aluminium Top Cover (Scythe Mugen 6)

I have never purchased a Scythe product before, but after doing a lot of research, I decided to give this a try. So far this is far exceeding my expectations! It makes me want to purchase other Scythe fans for my case!I got an AMD Ryzen 7 5800x CPU and needed to also upgrade my cooling system. At this price point, the Mugen 6 dual fan black edition was the best option I could find. The 5800x runs very hot, but this cooling system keeps everything running nice and cool even at max CPU load.The 2 fans it comes with are great and the noise is very quiet compared to my last set up. The fans are not rgb, but I am OK with that for my build. The left fan (when mounted on the MB) was very easy to put on and I did so before putting it in the case. The right fan however, needs to be put on after you install the cooler so that you can reach the mounting screw. This can be a little difficult if you have a small case, but for me it wasn't too bad.One major reason I got this product was because it is built to sit to the side of my ram for easy access if I need it. With both fans in place, I can still pull my ram straight out without hitting anything. It is a rather large system overall so make sure you look at the dimensions to see if it will fit in your case. It is pretty tall when mounted to your MB. I have less than a half inch of room from the case to the unit.This comes with thermal paste and a spatula which is awesome! The box also includes mounting hardware and various brackets to make it compatable with popular MB/CPU combos. The mounting screws and brackets all seem pretty sturdy. This Cooler is big and kind of heavy but I don't think it will be going anywhere.I have had this running almost every day for almost a month and everything is still working great! I recommend this to everyone on a budget that still wants a great cooling system.

I was upgrading my CPU from a 3700X to the 5700X3D and seen Scythe had a new Mugen out. I had to of course upgrade that as well, though nothing was wrong with the 5 Rev. C Black Edition I had. This is a great cooler all around. Looks nice, performs well, can be used on most CPUs, isn't overly large, just a solid cooler for the price. It's quiet as well and cools the 5700X3D just fine, especially when undervolted, as you should be doing anyway. I get better thermals with this cooler on the 5700X3D than the 5 got on the 3700X, which was surprising as the X3D chips typically run a bit hotter.One thing to note is the mounts are not the same as the Mugen 5. Minor changes were made to the bracket system as well as the cooler itself. No biggie, the AM4 mounting setup is simple enough to swap out.I'm still undecided about the smooth top look vs the button topped 5, but they both look nice and perform as expected.If you are buying the Mugen 6 get the dual fan version. Yes it costs more but with the extra fin density you need a push/pull fan setup. I don't know why they even offer a single fan version.

This thing cannot be described as a beast or a monster. No, this can only be described as a kaiju. I was having the same worry as everyone else new to the Ryzen7 5800x CPU. It reaches 90c during a stress/stability test. After installing this, my temp is maxing out around 62c. Idle temp is 40c or less. Needless to say, this is a great solution for those not able to or wanting to do liquid cooling. My case is on the small side, and it fits with about 1/4' to spare. The heat sink is built to keep clear of RAM, which is always needed. The box comes with all fittings one would need to install in on either AMD or Intel sockets. Installation is fairly easy, but can be a bit annoying if the motherboard is already installed. The included thermal paste was an unexpected surprise as well. With that said, they supply a bit more than what is actually needed, which was nice as I am new to building PCs and worry that my "pea" sized drop may be either too much or not enough. The included screwdriver is rally nice, and of good quality. I highly recommend this to anyone that wants lower temps without spending all the time and money or more expensive options.

This is tall! 155mm my 2014 logisys mid tower has 16mm clearance left but it is bulged side panel.The width is just right as I want a high cooling air cooler with plenty airflow from the thin yet quiet 120mm fans. The speed are decently fast and continuous just on all time.Being not as thick as the twin tower yet thicker heatsink than most single tower it is a cold beast! The compatibility is just perfect. Better compatibility on asus b350f motherboard barely clears back vram heatsink on msi b450 tomohawk atx am4 motherboard but, still fits perfectly. You can see it on my pictures provided.The durability of the black paint is pretty strong and beautiful. This is my first scythe and I would seriously look at their line over anyone else.I tried 5500 65w cpu and it was at 61c in game. The 5500 didn't work out well with driver bios from asus for me.I will update when I can actually get the msi tomohawk b450 with 3700x 65w 8 core in game reliably. I have full confidence that this scythe mugen 6 black edition will be a cool beast.
