Scythe Mugen 3 and Ninja 3 overhauled: fourth time's the charm?

Stefan Mileschin · 25th April 2012, 07:40

The Scythe Mugen 2 has long been the CPU cooler to beat with its exquisite balance between cooling performance, noise production and price. Until now other manufacturers have not been able to equal its performance for the same humble prices. The previously released Mugen 3 disappointed us when we tested it, the price was higher while the performance was worse. Recently Scythe introduced updated versions of both the Mugen 3 and the Ninja 3, hoping to recapture the glory days of the Mugen 2. Of course we submitted both coolers to our rigorous testing procedure to find out: Has Scythe finally created a worthy successor to the Mugen 2?
