    from completed build NR200P Frozen white

    Perfect cooler for the tampered glass. Good performance so far.

    Note that you may have this warning "Cooler Master MasterBox NR200P Mini ITX Desktop Case and Scythe Mugen 5 Rev. B 51.17 CFM CPU Cooler are not compatible." But, it fits.

    from completed build Setup #2

    One of the best value air coolers out there. I am currently running this on the Ryzen 5800x OC'd at 4.0 Ghz, keeps it idle at sub 40 C and under game load, it never goes above 63 C. A ******* beast.

    from completed build My first build

    It can handle a 12-core CPU with ease, and is still somewhat compact. The installation was also not too difficult even for a first time builder. It's good to know that the cooler does not hang over the RAM, in case I have to swap out RAM sticks someday.

    from completed build The Monolith

    I picked this up over the summer to prepare for a newer gpu, as I was running the AMD stock cooler beforehand. The Mugen runs so quietly, and is quite a looker to boot. Installation was relatively easy, although I had some trouble getting the fan clips onto the heatsink, and was worried I was doing it wrong and was going to break it. I won't dock a point, since it was my first time using fan clips. The diagrams on the instructions were about as handy as you'd expect, though.

    Amazing cooler with probably the best mounting system for AM4. Build quality is amazing, especially for the fan that's included.

    Great air cooler, my OC'ed/undervolted 10850k only gets a little toasty.

    This thing is a BEAST. It's gigantic and comes with a premium screwdriver. It cools my 5600X pretty damn well. Honestly no regrets.

    from completed build Build currently using

    Keeps my Ryzen 3600 in a much more stable temp rate, a decent upgrade from their included cooler, idling around 40C and usually only maxing at around 65C (full load) at 3.6 GHz 1.1V. Have not tried OCing yet but I see no use with an OC like that.

    Awesome for the price, just make sure your case has clearance.

    from completed build Nothing special white ITX build

    Really quiet, pretty easy to install, and in a very reasonably price point.
