Scythe Mugan4 Review

Scythe Mugan4 Review

 

Introduction

Deep breath now…The Mugan4 has a three-dimensional multiple airflow pass-through structure fin design, coupled with a  120mm GlideStream PWM fan.  Well that’s how Scythe describe it anyway.  We do love those chaps in marketing, but when you decipher the gobbled gook what you’re actually left with is a description of a pretty traditional tower cooler with a 120mm fan strapped on the front.

Although traditional if not old school in looks, the Mugan4 though is actually a chunky little number, being 130mm wide and standing as it does only 156mm tall.  It  also feels surprisingly light for its size.  We think this might be down to the use of Aluminium heat pipes as opposed to copper ones.  Whether this will affect performance will be seen when we come to the testing.
