Scythe Releases Mugen 5 Rev C Tower-type CPU Cooler
Scythe release s today an another revision of Mugen 5, the Mugen 5 Rev.C. Based on the classic Mugen 5 heatsink design with its most iconic metal caps top cover, the Mugen 5 Rev.C is upgraded with a new Kaze Flex II 120 mm PWM fan. The new fan increases the airflow by speeding up to 1500 RPM and the rubber frame design improves noise reduction. For many Intel 12 th Gen CPU users, the concern about the additional purchase of the LGA 1700 mounting kit can now rest assured. The Scythe H.P.M.S. IV mounting System now offers full Intel LGA1700 support.
The Scythe Mugen 5 Rev.C CPU cooler is now available in the US, Japan, Taiwan markets. For European Market, the Mugen 5 Rev.C will be available in April 2022 due to a shipping delay.

It is what makes or breaks this product :D
I have some Kaze Flex (1) fans and they're OK for the price, certainly better than crappy Arctic fans. But I can still hear some imperfections at certain RPMs. The old Slip Streams were a bit quieter and more consistent, even though they eventually got louder after years of use.
Up $7 from the Rev B.

In fairness to the value of Scythe offerings though, if willing to spend more for quietness, the price jump for better fans perhaps implies going with a different heat sink anyway e.g. Thermalright or Noctua.
