F.M.S.B. (Flip Mount Super Back-Plate)
The newly developed F.M.S.B. (Flip Mount Super Back-Plate) both improves the compatibility and mounting of the cooler with the motherboard. With this system, a solution was developed which is not using push pins but is instead based on a Back Plate/screws mounting set. Of course, Mugen 2 Rev. B is compatible with all the current sockets, including the new Intel Socket LGA 1156 and LGA 1366.

Multi Fan Mount Structure
As with the former Mugen it is possible to mount the supplied fan in four different directions. By this, the user can arrange the air flow to the circumstances of his deployment area. Furthermore, a maximum of 4 fans be installed, the needed fan clips have to be bought separately.

M.A.P.S. (Multiple Airflow Pass-Through Structure)
The newly developed M.A.P.S. (Multiple Airflow pass-through structure) is a completely new fin structure, where the airflow generated by the Scythe Slip Stream 120 mm PWM fan can be used perfectly.

x-bit Labs

In my humble opinion, the Japanes Scythe Co. Ltd.,s the leader among CPU Cooler solution manufacturers. We arrived at this conclusion after estimating carefully the potential of Scythe’s main competitors. Take, for instance, Thermalright. Their coolers are of highest efficiency, but they are sold at very high prices. Besides, the evenness of their base plates leaves much to be desired, and the company could use a better developed dealer channel. The well-known Korean Zalman hasn’t offered much lately. They managed to score big in the beginning of this millennium, but have nothing but a known name left at this point. Thermaltake makes good coolers, which, however, come out pretty rarely. Even though we have to admit that the situation has been improving lately. ZEROtherm and the new ThermoLab are very rare guests in this market. Cooler Master seems to be the most dangerous Scythe’s competitor at this point, as this company offers not only cooling solutions...

Silent PC

The Scythe Mugen-2 is the updated version of the Mugen (AKA Infinity) CPU cooler. At the time of its release, the Mugen was an excellent heatsink, able to cool most of the processors of its day with little airflow. Unfortunately the Mugen coexisted with the better performing Scythe Ninja,which took most of accolades. The heatsink itself has had some interesting design improvements and now comes with a 120mm PWM fan. Most importantly, this big heatsink sports a simple bolt-thru installation procedure. It is Scythe's first serious departure from stock Intel plastic push-pins in many years. ..
