Scythe MUGEN 6 Black Edition – The Budget King!

Box, Contents & Bundle

The box offers decent protection for the product. On its face is a photo of the cooler with both fans mounted. Around the back, you will find all the essential technical specifications. Scythe also included bits of information on the other sides of the box.

The bundle includes the following:

  • AMD & Intel mounting hardware
  • Thermal grease
  • Fan clips
  • A long screwdriver
  • Two Wonder Tornado fans
  • Fan Splitter Cable
  • Manual

These photos of the cooler without the fans show more details of its heat sink and fins. The cooler follows the classic single-tower design, so you should not expect the same performance as the notably larger dual-tower designs. The heat sink has many fins, and according to Scythe, there is a 45% increase in fin count compared to the previous model, I presume.

The design is asymmetrical to avoid blocking the RAM slots by slightly shifting the heat sink to the back and away from the GPU.

Six heatpipes run through the base. Larger coolers use even more, but the number of heatpipes alone doesn’t mean anything if the design doesn’t fully exploit them.

Mugen uses a pair of 120mm fans with FDB bearings, which are among the best in terms of noise output and reliability. The fans are meant to be installed in a typical push-pull configuration and feature a 9-blade vortex-type design. The maximum speed exceeds 2000 RPM, and in the Cybenetics Fan Testing scheme, also called the Phi Fan Performance Standard, or PFPS in short, the Wonder Tornado gets a Silver badge in airflow and Gold in static pressure. Since the cooler’s fins are pretty dense, what you need is increased static pressure and not airflow, so much.
