Up Close:  The Cooler

Measuring 156x130x88mm (H,W,D) the Mugan4 is wide for a cooler of it’s height, giving it a more squat look than some of the taller slimmer units we’ve looked at recently.  Scythe have still been able to cram 50 Aluminium Fins into the fin stack though

As you can see from the images below, the fins themselves are very thin with the 6 heatpipes distributed evenly within the stack.

The Stack itself is split into four sections with occasional bridging fins connecting the towers to aid rigidity.  The heat pipes are terminated in simple aluminium end caps

The Scythe website doesn’t confirm what the heatpipes are made of, and although they appear copper coloured the light weight of the unit had us suspicious that they were actually Aluminium.  Our suspicions were confirmed when we took a sharp blade to an inconspicuous area and shaped off a bit of the copper coating to discover the shiny aluminium underneath
