Scythe Unveils Mugen 6 and Mugen 6 Black Edition CPU Coolers

Scythe unveiled the 6th generation of its Mugen line of premium air CPU coolers. These include the Mugen 6, and Mugen 6 Black Edition. The Mugen 6 features chrome finished aluiminium fins and nickel-plated copper heatpipes; while the Mugen 6 Black Edition is a more premium variant, with all-black fins, heatpipes, and two included fans for push-pull ventilation, instead of just one in the Mugen 6.

Scythe GT360 AIO Liquid CPU Cooler with a Unique Design Pictured

Here are the first pictures of the GT360, a unique new AIO liquid CPU cooler by Scythe, thanks to HXL. The cooler is not part of Scythe Japan's product stack, or found in Western markets, but is probably part of Scythe China. The Scythe GT360 looks like a premium almost DIY liquid cooling loop. Its design involves a CPU water block, an in-line pump, a 360 mm radiator that integrates a reservoir; and a trio of high static-pressure fans. The most interesting aspect is the top-facing fittings on the water block, which is a giveaway that Scythe didn't source this cooler from any AIO cooler OEM, but designed it on its own. These pictures surfaced on Chinese social media, there are no official product pages, so we don't have any specifications, yet.

The smallest fan of the lot will be a 92 mm model with a 25 mm thickness.

Scythe Presents the Choten Top-Flow CPU Cooler with 120 mm in Height

The Japanese cooling expert Scythe extends its product portfolio by a new Top-Flow CPU Cooler model. The new Choten CPU Cooler is able to effectively cool the CPU as well as the surrounding components thanks to the Top-Flow design by pushing the air towards the motherboard. This air circulation has a positive effect on system stability and life span of the components. Great performance along with unrestricted compatibility to high-end memory modules have been among the key factors when designing the Choten. This has been achieved by applying the asymmetric heatsink design combined with high precision manufacturing and high quality materials. The Choten CPU Cooler is bundled with the Scythe Kaze Flex 120 PWM fan and assures an easy fit into the majority of PC chassis thanks to a total height of only 120 millimeters.

Scythe Choten utilizes a total of four high-quality 6 mm copper heatpipes which are connecting the solid copper-baseplate with the fin-stack. The copper parts, such as the baseplate and heatpipes are covered by a layer of nickel, which prevents corrosion and improves the quality further. Aligning the aluminium heatsink parallel to the baseplate has the advantage that the airflow of the attached fan is guided toward the mainboard. In result, all the components surrounding the CPU socket are able to benefit from this air circulation. Outstanding memory module compatibility is achieved thanks to the asymmetric heatsink design as well as the big clearance between the heatsink and the motherboard.
