It would be interesting to see how it would perform with better fans. Though, that would raise the price. The cooler has a fierce competition, like the Scythe Fuma 2, DeepCool AG/AK620 and Thermalright coolers, which are all better and around the same price or less.
I quite like the look of the cooler. Although the price will indeed hurt it in comparison with the Mugen 5... And I can't find it for sale anywhere (yet I'm guessing) ... Day zero review?
This cooler is great under higher overclock , so thats why the RPM is set high. I watched other review, It can be pushed to 5GHz, while scythe. thermalright. Deepcool would be over 100 degreed overheat.
Yeah I checked another review out after making this one and noticed that. I'd love to have a higher power test system to push the coolers more, something to aspire to in the future.
if the point is a higher overclock, there are numerous puzzling design descisions. it seems to be more focused on design for it's own sake in some ways, and if so, the high rpm and resultant sound is unforgiveable. if youre' trying to do both style/design and high performance, you really can't go cheap on loud fans
review suggestion of a CPU cooler: Thermaltake TOUGHAIR 110. i have to admit it's probably a selfish suggestion because it's a cpu I'm interested in for my next build in the cooler master nr200p. but i think it's still an interesting cpu cooler because it's a top down average size cpu cooler and there is not too many of them and price seems good $35
Oooh, that's a good suggestion. I've seen a few top down coolers that have taken my interest. Out of curiously, what's the main interest in the larger top down coolers for you? I want to do a test comparing a top down cooler to a standard tower cooler in a common case style, but that would need a lot of thinking about to make as fair as possible (same manufacturer, what size to go for for both options, what size case to test in to be as fair or reasonable as possible...). There's a lot of nebulous experiments I want to do, maybe I should just do them :D
@@AVTechy honestly i like the looks of it but i wouldn't pick a top down cpu cooler if I'm building in a mid tower case for the looks. i want my next build to be in the cooler master nr200p and i think the Thermaltake TOUGHAIR 110 wouldn't look too big or too small in that case and i like how it's gonna hide my red and black motherboard and i like the way the fan gets installed it seems nice and easy. so yeah just for looks because the thing is my r5 1600 stock cpu cooler is doing just fine. About doing a comparison between a top down cpu cooler and a tower cooler...I wouldn't know why someone would care about the different other than the looks. I heard that a top down cpu cooler is better for cooling the motherboard/vrm but honestly i don't think a lot of people care about that except if someone is doing a crazy overclock. I remember watching a video from hardwarecanucks doing a comparison between be quiet cpu coolers the tower ones and top down ones ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-meZ9YqsMP_I.html The tower cpu cooler did a better job at cooling the vrm! Note: English is not my first language. Sorry for any mistakes.
ID Cooling and Arctic have better and cheaper coolers unfortunately. These are my favourite low price brands. Montech is coming out of nowhere, with questionable quality products, which feels mostly like no branded ones, but at a semi-premium price. PASS for me. Montech has nothing at this point which would catch my interest.
