Good cooling potential, Able to counter the 130W TDP effectively, Option for dual fan combinations, Multifan mounting options
Noisy at max fan speeds, Still pretty expensive
The performance areas of the testing show the Mugen 2’s potential and even with the high 130W TDP produced by the i7 series of processors, this cooler with its individual fin arrays is able to counter it and give temperatures that are right up there...
Abstract: Bij de introductie van de Core i7 heeft Intel moeten besluiten om een nieuwe bevestiging voor de CPU-koeler te ontwerpen. De nieuwe chip is immers wat groter dan de Core 2 Duo’s, met als resultaat dat de socket uiteraard ook wat groter is. Zodoende was...

Scythe Mugen-2s bolt-thru mounting has been long awaited by PC enthusiasts everywhere. We are not completely enthusiastic about how the bolt-through mounting was implemented — applying a screwdriver to the back side of a motherboard is tedious and p...
The Scythe Mugen 2 is one of the best coolers I have tested this year. I was so surprised to see just how well it held up against the some very stiff competition like the Ultra-120 Extreme and Zalman CNPS 9900 coolers. Each of these coolers have been ...

The Scythe Mugen 2 is one of the largest CPU Coolers that we have ever seen and for that reason alone some people may experience clearance issues in small cases and so be sure to check the numbers prior to buying it. Scythe also off...
Mit dem Mugen 2 hat Scythe einiges erreicht. So ist dieser trotz gleichgebliebenem Geräuschpegel leistungsstärker bei 12 V als sein Vorgänger. Die Montage gestaltet sich aufgrund der Backplate einfacher als mit Push-Pins, da hier die Lamellen nicht me...
Abstract: The included PWM fan is quite good at full speed, offering a superior performance/noise ratio than our reference NCB@12v. Compared to the Ninja 2 the Mugen 2’s fan is slightly noisier, but the Mugen 2 also cools slightly better. Equipped with our

The Scythe Mugen 2 is a robust cooler that may have clearance issues in smaller cases and has potential for the fan to align over tall RAM heat spreaders. But with this cooler the only one that really matters is the case size allowing it. Scythes in...
Abstract: L’Intel Core i7 est maintenant disponible depuis le mois de Novembre 2008, la mémoire DDR3 triple canal est désormais abordable à 50€ les 3Go. Seul bémol, les cartes mères ont du mal à voir leurs prix chuter. Ainsi vous avez peut être sauté le pas ou v...
