Scythe Mugen 5 Black Edition CPU Cooler Announced

The new Scythe CPU cooler is almost here! The new Mugen 5 Black Edition (SCMG-5100BE) is the latest evolution of their popular Mugen 5 Rev.B cooler. Of course, this new edition features an all-black design, including a black heatsink, black Kaze Flex 120 fan, and all-black accessories. For those who want a much darker and stealthier look to their PC, this is just the ticket.

Scythe Mugen 5 Black Edition

The new cooler comes with their latest fan design, the all-black Kaze Flex 120 fan (ramp up to 1500 rpm) that pushes its performance to the next level. However, the cooler can support an optional second fan if you felt you needed it.

Excellent Compatibility

Aesthetics and Style

The heatsink has a complete black coating and diamond engraved logo, it not only makes the cooler look good in style but also fits the most popular build colour themes.

As a child still in my 30's (but not for long), I spend my day combining my love of music and movies with a life-long passion for gaming, from arcade classics and retro consoles to the latest high-end PC and console games. So it's no wonder I write about tech and test the latest hardware while I enjoy my hobbies!
