We review Scythes new Mugen 5 Rev. C cooler. Rev.C. of the Mugen 5 Rev.C features a new 120 mm PWM fan but is based on the traditional Mugen 5 heatsink design with its most recognizable metal caps top cover. The cooler is now also compatible with Intel's LGA1700 socket, ideal for 12th Generation Core processors. Scythe has released a new version of Mugen5, known as Mugen 5 Rev. C.

The new fan boosts airflow by increasing its speed to up to 1,500 RPM, and the rubber frame design reduces noise.
