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.
Hello,
I’m new in this site. I have one question but I don’t know is this the appropriate place.
Does installing an more powerful fan/fans will improve the performance of this cooler.
Higher noise level is not an issue for my application.
Reason for asking this question are
– Longer heatsinks create higher air resistance. It require higher pressure fan.
– Denser hetsinks create higher air resistance. It require higher pressure fan.
– Denser hetasinks requires higher air velocity. e.g pasive coolers has few ribs. High density cooler use centrifugal fans due to the high static pressure requirement.
If you don’t care for the higher noise output, it will improve it. You should also have the stock fans running at full speed.
Thanks for the review.
Beautiful aircooler.
I think it’s a perfect fit for Cooler Master MasterBox NR200.

All Db are at 96.26°c… wrong copy pasta ?
at 35 db lower revs than at 30 db 😛
Thermalrights Coolers aren’t that expensive. Why not just buy one?
Because I need to do their whole product portfolio. They replied to me today, they will send samples.
I’m excited to see your reviews. It’s hard to do the comparison between differents websites since you don’t have exactly the same methdology, environment etc.
Scythe, Noctua, Thermalright, Deepcool aircoolers and some 240/280/360 aio to see the difference on charts.
I’m sorry Aris i would ask, did you remove the Deepcool Cybenetics certification data on the web because 1 month ago i can download the PN1000M datasheet but their data was gone from web now, it’s also same at 80 plus web, it’s the certication data also affected by US Goverment force to action as part of sanction ?
Yes, we had to remove it.
