Scythe Launches Fuma 3 High-Performance CPU Cooler

[btarunr]

Scythe, the CPU cooling brand originated from Japan is proudly announcing its high-performance flagship dual tower CPU cooler Fuma 3 today. With over 20 years of professional experience accumulated, the Japanese CPU cooling brand Scythe finally launches its new flagship model, the king of dual tower - Fuma 3 Dual Tower CPU cooler. The cutting-edge Fuma 3 twin tower CPU cooler is the true successor of the legendary Fuma 2. Built on the basis of the award-winning Fuma 2 twin tower design concept, the Fuma 3 presents optimized aerodynamic engineering on a new heatsink that yields more efficient heat dissipation and is ready for the most demanding overclocked CPUs.

The sturdy dual tower Fuma 3 is a 154 mm tall high-performance CPU air cooler backed with 6x6mm high-quality nickel-plated heat pipes that work firmly with the premium aluminium heatsink. Thanks to the higher fin density array and a new asymmetrical design, the Fuma 3 obtains increased thermal conductivity which results in improved cooling performance yet better compatibility even on the Mini-ITX motherboards.



The advanced asymmetrical engineering is configured with a lifted offset design that allows Fuma 3 to have full access to the RAM slot in the front bank and will not overhang the VRM heatsink in the rear on the motherboards. This improvement makes Fuma 3 to be one of the most compatible dual tower CPU coolers on the PC market.

Teaming up with Scythe renowned Kaze Flex II 120 mm PWM fans, the contra rotational fans allow the radiator to unleash the great cooling performance while maintaining a moderate range of rotational speed
from 300-1500 RPM. In this configuration, the Fuma 3 specifically presents for those who are in search of a mix between efficient cooling performance and low-noise experience.

The H.P.M.S. V is SCYTHE 5th Gen new spring-loaded mounting system. Providing the secure and optimal contact pressure on the CPUs, the latest HPMS V is now ready for full AM5 and Intel LGA 1700 support.

The Fuma 3 is now officially available in South East Asia. For America regions, Fuma 3 can now be pre-ordered exclusively on Newegg Scythe Inc storefront, prior to the biggest sales event Fantastech. The availability on US Amazon will be around 20th July.

Looking forward to reviews.

 

[katzi]

it's a shame they've dumped the Fuma2 aesthetic, it was really clean, those plastic caps on this cooler look Nasty.

 

[Why_Me]

They need to up the RPM.

They should release these again.

Scythe Ashura Review

The Ashura is breathing new life into Scythe's CPU cooler lineup. Featuring an offset single tower design, this heatsink offers enough clearance even for the tallest modules in all four memory slots. With a price below $50, it is also quite affordable, while providing decent noise levels and...

Mugen MAX - Scythe EU GmbH

For enthusiasts and Mugen fans the like, Scythe is “setting free” the Mugen MAX. Another contender for the “XL” CPU tower cooler market, the Mugen MAX is a real eye-catcher. For performance, a GlideStream 140mm PWM fan is taking care of blowing out the warm air through the T-M.A.P.S...

There is an am4 bracket thank goodness

Compatibility AM5 All current Scythe CPU Cooler models are fully compatible with AMD’s socket AM5. Our coolers use the original backplate of the AM5 mainboards for assembly. It is not necessary to change or dismantle the original backplate. The installation process is identical to Socket AM4 in...

They need to up the RPM.

Do they? Looks like it comes with the same fans as the last version, which performed pretty well (and quietly) for the price. I think any significant improvements to the Fuma design at this point would come from tweaking the heatsink design, which is what it looks like they've done. I'm much more interested in a cooler that can do its job effectively at lower RPMs. Nice thing is that you can swap out the fans if you needed something different for whatever reason, but in my experience I never felt like the Fuma 2 was held back by its fans' speed.

The Fuma 2 lost out time and again to the similarly priced DeepCool AK620 in reviews which has 1800 RPM fans and there wasn't a noticeable difference in decibels.

If they have high static pressure they don't.

If they have high static pressure they don't.

1500rpm is not enough for latest CPU's even with typhoon type fans
they need at least 2200 to compete with others

Even 1800rpm would be a step in the right direction.

 

[freeagent]

I think it depends on their choice of heat pipes..

It could be a wolf in sheep's clothing..

 

[KellyNyanbinary]

It's $50 on Newegg, and I doubt it can outperform the $43 Thermalright Phantom Spirit in noise-normalized testing. At least it has full RAM compatibility going for it.

Stick some SilverStone FHP141 on it and have done with it, although it be getting on the heavy side and i guess you be loosing some clearance too haha.

There is a white or black version later on, will see the performance on these and decide if I should bother.

I think they intentionally chose to use low RPM fans to keep the cooler quiet
I remember seeing test results with quite some improvements when changing the fans to some louder but higher flow rate ones

release time in europe ?

Any peerless assassin vs FUMA 3 performance comparisons (noise+temps)?

Everything Scythe i've bought so far has been absolutely fantastic hence i'm hoping the Fuma 3 lives up to the thumbs-up performance, build quality, fan quality, etc. The PA on the other hand costs half the price hence definitely not one to ignore.
