Universal CPU Cooler Scythe Mugen 4 Review

Some hardware pieces disappear after a while of emergence but some serve PC needs for years, always appearing in new incarnations. The latter is true about Mugen series of CPU coolers from Scythe. The success of the very first model, Scythe Mugen, gave rise to the appearance of an updated second version, then the third one, and, finally, the fourth one – Scythe Mugen 4. This cooler is distinguished initially by its universality, supporting all actual CPU sockets (Intel- and AMD-based). For sure, this is not the mere advantage, since it is able to offer much more.

Delivery Kit

Mugen 4 is delivered in a compact-size cardbox, containing a large amount of information about the cooler. The contents will give a buzz to all consumers, due to a list of useful components. Here one might find: a brand mounting kit Hyper Precision Mounting System (H.P.M.S.) that includes a kit of screws, plastic gaskets, a metallic backplate, mounting plates, a clamping plate, four wiry clinches for fans, and a gray thermal compound.

Heatsink Framework

Scythe Mugen 4 boasts a tower-like framework with a heatsink and U-shape heatpipes. The heatsink features 130x88x156 mm dimensions. It is accompanied by six copper heatpipes (6 mm each), void of any nickel coating. Three of them bend in the middle and pierce the central part of the fin; the other three items are soldered along the edges. The tips of the pipes have got special caps.

The heatspreader consists of fifty aluminum plates (0.5 mm each) with 2 mm stride. Upon the whole, the heatsink is elaborated according to Multiple Airflow Pass-Through Structure (M.A.P.S.) technology that divides the central part. The base consists of two parts: a square cold rail, made of nickel-plated copper, and a plate with grooves for the heatpipes.

Nominal Fan

The fourth Mugen edition is furnished with a single 120 mm fan (GlideStream series). It is based on a slide bearing and consists of nine blades with dedicated notches that optimize the airflow. This fan is regulated by means of PWM technology and allows for the rotational speed variations from 400 RPM to 1400 RPM. Depending on speed parameters, it is able to produce from 20.7 CFM to 79 CFM airflow with the noise range of 5.3-28 dB. Additionally, the user is free to install another fan to enhance the air cooling effect.

Mounting

The process of mounting starts from the attaching of a backplate to the reverse side of the motherboard and fixing it with the help of screws through the PCB. Further on, it’s necessary to apply some thermal compound to the cold rail and put it to the heatsink section. Then the heatsink is fixed due to a clamping plate and a couple of screws. Once this done, it’s time to mount the fan. In order to do this, the user will have to utilize special wiry clinches.
