Scythe Mugen 2 SCMG-2000

Scythe has been a premium brand name in the aftermarket cooling industry for many years now, and has earned a reputation among enthusiast and overclockers for their giant-sized cooling solutions. The Scythe Mugen 2 is one of the largest air-cooled heatsinks Benchmark Reviews has tested... at least since the original Scythe Mugen Infinity project. Aside from splitting the heatsink into five smaller groups of fins, these two coolers share almost identical design.

The Scythe Mugen 2 includes a single Scythe Slip-Stream cooling fan, but the large SCMG-2000 unit can accommodate two 120mm cooling fans total (presuming the enclosure will support the area needed). Although the Mugen 2 utilizes a high-pressure bolt-through mounting system, the entire LGA1366 socket assembly needed to be removed in order to facilitate heatsink installation.

Similar to other Scythe coolers, the Mugen-II SCMG-2000 is really one heatsink atop another. A solid aluminum heatsink venting up from the base is connected by five large-gauge heatpipe rods to a group of five aluminum finsinks. Each finsink segment helps to separate the heat-pipe rods, and isolate heat distribution. How effective this concept is over the previous design will soon be revealed. The Scythe Mugen 2 SCMG-2000 kit is available at NewEgg for $34.99.

Long expected and now finally here: Scythe Mugen 2 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! In a nearly 1-year development period, the concept of Mugen was completely revised and further developed. Mugen 2 is on the latest state of technology and was produced using highest Japanese quality standards.

Scythe Mugen 2 Features

• F.M.S.B. (Flip Mount Super Back-Plate)
  The newly developed F.M.S.B. (Flip Mount Super Back-Plate) both improves the compatibility and mounting of the cooler with the motherboard. With this system, a solution was developed which is not using push pins but is instead based on a Back Plate/screws mounting set. Of course, Mugen 2 is compatible with all the current sockets, including the new Intel Socket LGA1366.
• Multi Fan Mount Structure
  As with the former Mugen it is possible to mount the supplied fan in four different directions. By this, the user can arrange the air flow to the circumstances of his deployment area. Furthermore, a maximum of 4 fans be installed, the needed fan clips have to be bought separately.
• M.A.P.S. (Multiple Airflow Pass-Through Structure)
  The newly developed M.A.P.S. (Multiple Airflow pass-through structure) is a completely new lamellar structure, where the airflow generated by the Scythe Slip Stream 120 mm PWM fan can be used perfectly
