Fan Scythe Mugen 6 Dual Fan Black Edition 12 cm 300-2000 RPM

The Scythe Mugen 6 Dual Fan Black Edition is an air CPU cooler with a redesigned black heatsink and two 120 mm Wonder Tornado fans in a push-pull configuration. The heatsink keeps a compact height of 154 mm while increasing fin count by 45% for improved thermal conductivity. An asymmetrical layout shifts the cooler rearwards to avoid blocking front RAM slots and reduce interference with the GPU. The cooler is compatible with modern CPU sockets including Intel LGA 1700 and AMD AM5 and uses the pre-assembled H.P.M.S. V mounting system for secure, balanced contact pressure.

Advantages

The updated heatsink with a high fin density enhances heat dissipation without increasing overall height. Two Wonder Tornado 120 mm fans with a 9-blade vortex geometry and Sealed Precision Fluid Dynamic Bearings deliver strong airflow up to the cooler’s rated maximum speed of 2000 RPM while maintaining low noise thanks to an optimized hub-to-blade ratio and rubberized anti-vibration pads on the mounting holes. Improved soldering between the six nickel-plated copper heat pipes and the baseplate increases thermal transfer efficiency. The H.P.M.S. V system with spring-loaded screws and rubberized spacers simplifies installation and ensures consistent mounting pressure across supported sockets.

Suitable for

• Air cooling of mainstream and high-performance desktop CPUs
• Systems where RAM clearance and GPU proximity are a concern
• PC builds requiring a quiet yet powerful dual-fan cooler

How to use

Mount the cooler using the pre-assembled H.P.M.S. V mounting bar and the supplied universal backplate. Secure the backplate to the motherboard using the rubberized spacers, place thermal paste on the CPU heatspreader, position the heatsink and tighten the spring-loaded screws evenly to achieve balanced contact pressure. Install the two Wonder Tornado fans in a push-pull arrangement on the heatsink, connect their 4-pin PWM connectors to the motherboard fan headers, and configure fan curves in BIOS or software as needed.

Recommendations

For optimal performance, ensure the case airflow supports the push-pull setup (front-to-rear or bottom-to-top path), verify RAM clearance before final mounting, and use motherboard fan control to balance cooling and noise according to workload.
