Product Reviews
- “Cooling was excellent and the Mugen 2 was extremely quiet. It recorded the second lowest delta T on Socket AM2+ processors of 36°C, and the third lowest on LGA1366 of 46°C - far lower than the reference HSFs.”
- Custom PC Magazine - “At idle, the test system ran at a chilling 33°C, and the stress level was just 9°C above that level. That's better than any other cooler here, and certainly ideal for most overclocking projects. Overall the Mugen 2 is more about functionality than good looks, and with it Scythe has delivered a strong contender that won't break the bank. Overall: 8/10.”
- Micromart magazine - “In my conclusions I like to put in both the positives and negatives, but in this instance I’m struggling to find any cons. Obviously, there are a few little things that I could complain about like only providing one set of clips for fans or not putting grooves in the in the cooler base. However, to be perfectly honest these things are fairly by the by when you look at the overall performance.”
- “Even at full speed the fan was extremely quiet and well below the noise produced by our PSU and GTX275 video card. Despite this, the heatsink produced fabulous temperatures that were the joint best on show. Taking an average of the four cores it registered just 65° C at full load, leaving huge amounts of headroom for further overclocking. Overall: 80%.”

Scythe Mugen 2 Rev.B Quiet CPU Cooler
- Replaces the Scythe Mugen (Infinity) Quiet CPU Cooler | Mugen 2 Rev.B Quiet CPU Cooler [63 in stock] Review | £34.03 (£39.99 inc. VAT) |
Scythe Mugen 2 Rev. B CPU cooler is the consistent further development of the award-winning Mugen CPU cooler. Several features make this cooler the perfect solution for silent users and overclockers! New Rev. B is equipped with advanced back-plate to simplify mounting as well as providing socket LGA 1556 compatibility. Mugen 2 is on the latest state of technology and was produced using highest Japanese quality standards.
At first glance you may think that there is very little difference between the Mugen 1 and Mugen 2. It is only when you look at the cooler from above do you really notice the difference. The Mugen 2 has been split into five columns with one U-shaped heatpipes feeding through each column. According to Scythe this re-design has increased the cooling power of the Mugen by up to 7°C, which is some achievement!
