Scythe Unveils Mugen 6 and Mugen 6 Black Edition CPU Coolers

[btarunr]

Scythe unveiled the 6th generation of its Mugen line of premium air CPU coolers. These include the Mugen 6, and Mugen 6 Black Edition. The Mugen 6 features chrome finished aluiminium fins and nickel-plated copper heatpipes; while the Mugen 6 Black Edition is a more premium variant, with all-black fins, heatpipes, and two included fans for push-pull ventilation, instead of just one in the Mugen 6.

Both coolers feature a large aluminium fin-stack, to which heat drawn from a nickel-plated copper base is conveyed by six 6 mm-thick heatpipes. This is ventilated by a 120 mm Scythe Wonder Tornado 120 PWM fan that features a fluid-dynamic bearings, turns at speeds of up to 2,000 RPM, pushing up to 60.29 CFM of airflow, with up to 2.45 mm H₂O static pressure, and up to 26.88 dBA noise output. The Black Edition includes two of these. With the fan(s) in place, the Mugen 6 measures 132 mm x 106 mm x 154.5 mm (WxDxH), weighing 1.01 kg; while the Mugen 6 Black Edition measures 132 mm x 132 mm x 154.5 mm, weighing 1.2 kg. Among the CPU socket types supported are LGA1700, AM5, LGA1200, and AM4. The company didn't release pricing information.

Looks like a winner.

That baseplate is beastie. And they actually list the fan specs!

The Wonder Tornado is a really solid budget fan and the Mugen has usually been able to update enough to match competitors. The air cooler market has gotten really intense though...

I really hope that the Mugen 6 Black Edition will give good performance. If it's similar to the Thermalright Phantom Spirit 120 I wouldn't mind switching as I like the look of this Scythe.

”Pour ce qui est des prix, le Mugen 6 s’annonce à 5 980 yens, soit 37,75€. Cependant, précisons qu’il s’agit de la version de base, sans revêtement noir et qui arrive avec un unique ventilateur. Le prix du modèle Black Edition est un poil plus élevé : 6 980 yens soit moins de 45 €.”

What separates the Mugen line from the Fuma, other than single and duel tower? They both are at similar price points.

It used to be the fans. Scythe used to make many fan variants. Including the Typhoon. That was a 120mm 3 pin fan that could easily chop a carrot.

Cool , that came in clutch for a blacked out NR-200 im planning. I was going to go with the Mugen 5C but since it's out of stock everywhere my next best options were either the NH-U12A or SE-226-XT but the U12A would not fit with the TG panel and the 226-XT would fit with only one fan . Looks like the Mugen 6 solves all those issues , i just hope it's available soon .
