Now on to the overclock.
We have clocked the i7 to 4.3Ghz and thats with Turbo, let’s see how it handles the extra temperatures.
Temperature wise, it’s actually in line with a Dark Rock Pro 3, so not too bad at all.
The sound levels are pretty respectable too, 35.5 Db is around the same as the stock idle with the overclocked load giving an extra 9 Db when pushed.
Conclusion
Scythe are a brand with a large following and we can see why. Though the packaging of this cooler is a little on the budget side, the performance is excellent. It is very close to the Dark Rock Pro 3 and currently at £41.00 on the UK Amazon site, it is almost half the price, how can you argue with that? Well there are a few downsides, the packaging is a bit dated, or cheap, depending on your viewpoint, there is only one fan included and it has the smallest portion of thermal paste you have ever seen.
None of the negative points are about performance, and when you factor in that it looks good, and it has an ultra shiny top, it is another good cooler you should have on your list. You should also always have Scythe on your shopping list and now, at least for the Mugen MAX CPU Cooler, it will perform for you when you need it too, top job Scythe.
