OCZ freeze is what I use and it works wonders.

I see that MushMan added the Mugen 2 reviews I suggested. Nice work keeping this thing rolling!
I really liked the Tweektown one, as they provided some history on Scythe as well.

Today I have the pleasure of taking a look at the Mugen 2 CPU cooler from Scythe. Never personally purchasing any of Scythe’s products previous to this review, I am sort of in the dark for firsthand knowledge of what their reputation is based on. What I have read in forums and seen in screenshots will be tested to our standards. Then we can see what all this "hype" is surrounding the Mugen 2 and hopefully shed some light for you and myself along the way.
LOL at that part, Makes me remember why I ended up going with Scythe.
I was originally gonna get the dark knight, but I had read the xbitlabs review of the Mugen 2 and how it rivaled the big name coolers for a better price. I decided to give it a try, and oh boy I was not dissapointed.

Type B clips are used to attach any size thickness fan thats 120mmx120mm. They attach the way Marvin modified his but without the excess sticking out the side.

Only place in Canada to buy the fan clips for the Mugen 2.

BTW, I'll probably get this HSF soon with either some Corsair (got sinks on em), or Mushkin (got some metal that sticks up) RAM. Hope they fit .

Vdek and broodman, those are regular fan clips for 25mm thick fans. You can tell by model number. You want the SCY-12FC-B which you can get here.

Thanks for the video, that'll help me alot. I got my Scythe Mugen 2 yesterday, but couldn't install it 'cuz I had to attend family graduation and dinner (tummy still hurts).

So..now I have to pull my motherboard out of my currently POS case and put it all on..I'm still really nervous about the whole thing though..

I see on the video they just put a small blob of thermal grease in the middle and planted the motherboard on top. Is that really a good way to apply the thermal grease?

If so I guess I'll do that, but I've wasted so much in the past spreading it evenly with a credit card.

ughhh...still nervous to install it!
