Sadly, we never did get our hands-on the original Scythe Mugen 5, but with only one difference in the coolers, we feel it would have to perform spot on to what we saw here today. As we looked to compare, we see that the Mugen 5 is now retired, but those w...

Scythe's Mugen 5 Rev. B is a good looking cooler with a bare metal aesthetic that goes well with any theme. Capped heat pipes and a subtle Scythe logo on the top fin cleans it up nicely.A few details about the Mugen 5 that I can appreciate is (1) the asym...
Impressive addition to Scythe's already great line-up With its combination of ease of use, good performance, and nearly silent performance the Scythe Mugen 5 Rev.B really does offer nearly the best of both worlds. It offers nearly the ease of ‘thin' cooli...
Let's go back to that “Zero Tolerance” statement from the beginning. If I was to compare the Mugen 5 in relation to that, then I'd have to say Scythe is doing exactly what they set out to do. Of course I also have to judge the cooler by my own standards a...
It's no surprise that we like the Scythe Mugen 5 SCMG-5000 CPU Cooler, we like Scythe in general. The Mugen 5 is a very capable cooler, especially in overclocked conditions, and enthusiasts dream. It's also very quiet, and well put together. If you want t...

We've seen very impressive performance with temps and noise, and now we have to consider the third factor: price. Here Scythe again has an edge compared to premium coolers from the likes of Noctua, though availability is mixed here in the U.S. The Mugen 5...
Great performance, Easy to install, Quiet operation, Price
Our sample had large machining marks on the base
Scythe has always put out great CPU coolers and the Mugen 5 is no different. When it comes to performance it sits within the top 5 of the 14 CPU coolers in our test group. This is very impressive! So if you are looking to run a 24/7 overclock or if you ha...
Very quiet stock fan, Pricing (can find deals for $45 dollars as well), Moderate cooling
Short warranty, Moderate Cooling
Moderate cooling performance, but otherwise a high quality CPU cooler. The Scythe Mugen 5 Rev.B is a great buy for those looking to reduce noise in their rigs. Review $51.95 Newegg MORE: Best CPU Cooling MORE: How To Choose A CPU Cooler...
Value is where the Scythe Mugen 5 makes its biggest impact. As a CPU cooler, it's capable, but nothing extremely special in terms of cooling ability. However when you throw cost into the mix the Mugen 5's true value comes out. The Mugen 5 costs $46.99 wit...
