Scythe's new Magoroku CPU cooler stands out with a dual fin-stack design that promises efficient heat dissipation without the need for liquid cooling systems. This latest addition to Scythes lineup is designed for those who prioritize performance and reliability, making it a strong contender in the air cooling market.
The Magoroku (model: SCMR-1000) uses a nickel-plated copper base with six 6 mm-thick heat pipes that transfer heat to two fin-stacks on both ends. These fin-stacks are topped with matte black steel plates, adding both aesthetic appeal and durability. The cooler comes equipped with two Wonder Tornado 120 mm fans, each capable of spinning between 300 and 2,000 RPM. These fans deliver airflow ranging from 7.68 to 60.29 CFM, with noise levels as low as 3 dBA, ensuring a quiet operation even under heavy loads.
The cooler's dimensions are 134 mm x 142.5 mm x 154 mm (WxDxH), and it weighs 1.036 kg, making it a substantial yet manageable unit for most builds. With its static pressure ranging from 0.005 to 2.45 mm H₂O, the Magoroku is built to handle high-performance setups with ease.
Why It Matters Now
The Magoroku's introduction comes at a time when air coolers are facing increasing competition from liquid cooling solutions. However, its advanced design and high-performance specs make it a compelling option for users who prefer air cooling or are looking to maximize airflow without the complexity of liquid systems.
