Well done Scythe from this Aussie...we cant buy your gear anywhere in Australia..... Amazon was the only way

To top it off it replaced a faulty MSI water cooler (my first water cooler MAG Coreliquid 240R) that was dead within 2 months and melting my thermal paste literally at 90c and almost cost me my PC

The FUMA2 is now at a nice 38c, 8c above ambient (its summer here)...the water cooler wasnt that good on its first day :)

Ive owned Noctua in the past, on this PC prior to the MSI excursion (im not wasting my time on water gadgets ever again) but decided to give this a go on recommendation, its the easily equal of Noctua

To top things off, the LGA1700 kit for the latest Intel socket kit was weirdly unable to be ordered from outside the USA, Scythe at first offered to sell me it direct, then a few days later announced they had resolved the weird issue with Amazon and ii could buy direct from Amazon, and that it would be cheaper than buying direct from them. So nice work Scythe USA for being decent folks and saving me money, choosing to go the distance unasked to sort the weird Amazon issue out instead of selling direct at higher cost. The effort and honesty is another big tick from me.

Upgraded from a Hyper 212 RGB Black Edition for my 5800x and temps barely touch on 70C while under load now from 85-90 previously. It's dead silent, looks clean/minimalistic and was an absolute breeze to install with the handily included long magnetic-tip screwdriver.

Do yourself a favour and just buy this.

My Ryzen 5 3600 literally halved in cpu temp from the OEM fan whilst doing a load test. 90c down to 46c!! Previously the CPU was even being throttled because of the heat. It is also more quiet, in fact super quiet due to the fact it cools so well and barely needs to spin the fans. Easy to install and does well. I'd buy another.

Great CPU cooler for my 3900X. Much quieter than the stock cooler that comes with it and temps are significantly lower too. Sitting at around 70 degrees during a cinebench multi-core test for 10 minutes. Highly recommend. Installation process was quite easy too.

Best cooler ever for CoolerMaster nr200p with tempered glass, shorter mainboard standoffs and liquid metal for the cpu.

Above setup keeps my i9-9700k overclocked to 5Ghz temps in check (75C-78C under full load in summer).

The bottom plate had scratches.

Temperatures of my 3600x are the same as the stock cooler however the loudness is less than half. I cant hear any fan noise. I was expecting better,
The scratches in the bottom plate are probably to blame

Better than expected! High quality fans - very quiet even under full load -- fans dont have to spin much since theres so much metal to dissipate the heat even without them

-- is weird to say - but this is a Big upgrade coming from liquid cooling! - this is quieter and better cooling than my 1 fan and 2 fan liquid coolers, not to mention no annoying pump and water noises ... all around much more quiet with this

-- At the end lots of metal fins are the real way to go to dissipate quietly -- then add multiple very low noise fans that never become noisy even when the cpu is at 100% load (unlike stock coolers or low quality liquid coolers that you hear the fan going nuts as soon as you opening a couple new tabs in the browser -- no more! you will stop hearing the cpu fan cause its just always low level no matter what you do on the pc -- big difference!

-- Essentially with this cooler youre paying to never hear your pc fans go off when you load up your pc, no matter how you load it - it is not just humming away without they big high and lows of fans going up and down in volume

I was on the fence for a bit abut buying this but to be fair i wish a bought it earlier xD cheers

p.s. Comes with surprisingly nice heavy duty long neck screwdriver (necessary to mount it) -- unlike the usual throw-away ones -- this one will be one you want to add to your tool box - useful all around and expecially building pc with hard to reach screws - id say just the free screwdriver in the box is almost worth 10 pound by itself - love it :D

Preso per 54 euro, ventole gommate, una più sottile che così permette di non coprire le ram anche le pipes sono sfalsate per evitare rogne sugli slot delle ram.
Installazione semplicissima,solo da fare un pò attenzione ad avvitarlo gradualmente e non tutto al massimo su una vite e poi sull altra, questo per allinearlo bene al processore e per evitare di spaccare la scheda madre. Previsti diversi tipi di montaggio in base alla mobo, io l ho montata su AM4 quindi ho usato le staffe, è comunque tutto incluso nella confezione, anche la pasta termica di buona qualità. c è la possibilità di installare una terza ventola (da comprare a parte) il cavetto per la 3 ventola è compreso.
Pesicchia un pò ma raffredda benissimo, per il discorso di non dover alzare la ventola sulle ram (le mie NON sono low profile) ci è entrato tranquillamente nel case, ma fate attenzione che è un buon 15 cm o giu di lì, quindi scordatevi robe strette o case itx. Usato su un case sharkoon night shark e devo dire che si vede anche uno spettacolo.spero di esser stato d aiuto a qualcuno con la mia recensione.

Most CPU cooler installations are a daunting process but this was simple and easy to do, even comes with a special screwdriver for the holes. I didn’t have to detach my motherboard or remove any wires 5/5 for the easy installation

I use MSI Z590M motherboard. In a PC case with a radiator height limit of 158 mm, I need to dissipate heat for the I7 11700k. I use a 5.5cm memory stick. Currently, there are only 4 high-power radiators on the market that are lower than 158 mm. I've returned two and they can't fit, but this cooler is perfectly compatible and cools very well, the only downside is that the fan is too loud, I'm considering replacing the big fan with a Noctua silent fan. Overall, very good item, slightly overpriced at 66 GBP, this cooler is acceptable around 50 GBP.

Is the Fuma 2 quiet?

Scythe's Fuma 2 features dual heatsinks to provide excellent performance and it's supplied with exceptionally quiet Kaze Flex PWM fans.

How tall is the Scythe Mugen 5?

Standing only 154.5mm in height, Mugen 5 provides excellent compatibility with popular cases on the market.

Does scythe Fuma 2 fit in nr200?

You can definitely fit a Scythe Fuma 2 inside with the vented side panel, and depending on your motherboard you can fit the Fuma 2 with the tempered glass.

How loud is the Fuma 2?

As for the noise levels, the 15mm thick fan is shown to deliver 23.9 dB(A), while the 25mm thick fan is shown to top out at 24.9 dB(A).
