Scythe Releases Mugen 5 Rev C Tower-type CPU Cooler

[btarunr]

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.

more than an apple, less than a VD shot.

I can't find much info about the Kaze Flex 2 fans.
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.

The old Slip Streams were a bit quieter and more consistent, even though they eventually got louder after years of use.

At a SPCR-spec quiet geek, my impression is that no current Scythe fans are as good as their yesteryear S-Flex and Slipstream fans (which I’m still running and expect to last forever at their 5v undervolt).

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.

The Wonder Snail fan is actually fantastic for the price. That said, Scythe makes the most sense in the Japanese market where they end up way lower priced than most of their competition.

They need to bring back the mugen max

Did anything change but the LGA 1700 mounting hardware? I literally just bought a Rev B because it's the biggest cooler that fits an NR200 with the TG side panel. Happy with it anyway but if there's a performance improvement I'll be frustrated at my timing.

The fan:

Well I replaced that fan immediately with an NF-A12x25 so no biggie there.
