Scythe Ninja 5 CPU Cooler Review

If you like black, no noise, and don't mind not seeing much of the top half of the motherboard, the Scythe Ninja 5 is your CPU cooler.

I got the Ninja 5 cooling my 3900x it is totally silent with it included fan spinning at a max 800rpm only and it perform the same as my old Fuma 1 being quieter. You can cool it further changing it to a faster fan but at expense of noise otherwise it a great cooler for silence. The Ninja 5 have quite a good amount of untapped cooling potential that needed high pressure fans for it to shine even more.

Going from a Fuma 2 to bequiet dark rock pro 4 would not be much of improvement. They perform rather close to each other. It may be better replacing your Fuma 2 fans with Noctua A12x25 or the better yet the newer Phanteks T30-120 though their price is as much as new cooler though. The Fuma 2 would pull further if the thin scythe fan is replace with thicker one.

Fuma 2 vs dark rock pro 4 based on techpowerup review.

I wrote i have had a fuma 2, not that i own a fuma 2, i have 2 aio's and a be quiet shadow rock 3, one aio is pretty sold. im just waiting for him to have time to come and get it.

My rock shadow 3 was to weak for my i5 11600k at 4.9ghz (peaking at 90'ish c)and i have noticed some weak low rumble from my corsair aio i want to ger rid of, i can't set the pump lower than quiet, just above 2000 rpm

Run msi afterburner, lay a few temperature points in the fan curve, then press the fan curve line and it will change to staircase. You can even enforce zero fan settings this way if your cpu fan has a minimum startup voltage, you can set below that.

I keep at such a low rpm until 75 c that i don't hear it and of course don't hear when it starts

That is bad. Fans work in constant radiated heat. It will run them dry.
Change the curve to staircase and you will have your heart's desire if you put one dot really below the belt, but I don't recommend it. Fans aren't durable when left in stagnant heat.

fans are not a problem, they are easy to replace

Well, that much is true. Get the new phanteks 30mm section fan, or eloops.

Why i have ordered the top model from be quiet with different sized fans and have 2 noctua NF-A12x25

Bequiet wing 3's are still king, if you were wondering... Eloops cannot pull, they are strictly axial flow optimised fans, though I like em a good bit. I appreciate german engineering whenever I can.

Arctic p12 and P14 are the budget king where scythe kaza flex with rubber corners are also very good, the be quiet shadow wings 2 are also very good for the money, not super cheap, the same price a noctua redux or a little cheaper, quiet and a smooth sound, comapred to noctua the shadow wings 2 has rubber corners
