At the moment it’s fashionable to dip your coolers in black color or alternatively to re-release older models as “Blackout” or “Stealth” edition. And so Scythe now introduces the now seventh variant of the popular Mugen 5, this time fully blacked out. How the Black Edition performs in the test, you can read in the following article:
Packaging and scope of delivery
Even the box has been adapted in color and kept completely in black and white. To provide a little variety, the classic product image is not placed in the middle of the front, but slightly offset, so that it curves around the corner. And you move the specs to the side too, how exciting!
For the protection of the cooler, Scythe does without foam and relies on separate boxes for fans, accessories and of course heatsink itself. In most cases this is sufficient and at the same time it protects the environment.
In addition to the mounting hardware, the accessories include an extra pair of fan clamps, a magnetic screwdriver, and a barely filled tube of thermal paste.
The Intel backplate seen in the middle has the screws and rubber pads already installed at the factory, very obliging. Except for the last screw, everything is painted in slightly glossy black.
Assembly and installation
The mounting is identical to the other coolers from Scythe and uses the existing backplate of the motherboard for the AM4 socket. Four rubberized spacers and screws are used to mount the two matching brackets. After fixing the two spring-loaded screws next to the coldplate in the brackets with the enclosed screwdriver, the fan is fixed with the clamps.
Again, it is recommended to install the cooler with the mainboard removed and lying on the table or to fix the backplate with an adhesive tape.
Specifications
The european website of Scythe has been revised a bit in time for the release, here is the product page of the cooler. The following is a brief overview:
