Scythe FUMA2 Rev.B CPU Cooler review - Final words and conclusion

Final words and conclusion

You should keep in mind that we're not testing LCS, so if you are disappointed by the cooling performance, think again. The new Fuma2 Rev B performs really well and can keep up with the more prominent premium heatpipe coolers, despite its smaller size. next to that the acoustic performance is excellent as well. At roughly 60 EUR/USD, that's impressive.

Acoustics

The acoustics are really good at processor default settings, almost 100% silent; if the processor is overclocked, the fans slowly become audible. It's true that they aren't igh static pressure fans that can spin and ramp-up to speeds of up to say 200 RPM, but that's simply too fast for anything that, in my opinion, needs to be silent. The solution is straightforward: establish a fan profile in your motherboard BIOS, or have your fans fixed at an RPM level that meets your needs and expectations. You'll have a lot of room to experiment with the cooling performance you get. We were can hear the pump softly if we give it 100% voltage, I'd say feed it half that.

 

 

Aesthetics 

The Fuma2 RevB looks sleek. There are no LEDs in this version. The black color accents makes it simple to integrate this cooler into your build. the Scythe logos are discreet and not distracting to the eyes. The alu rads however can be bothersome to some.

Installation

Overall it is straightforward to install with the mounting system. The installation procedure is reasonably simple , and it does not stand out; let's call it an ordinary installation process. The size of the unit isn't too bad either ; the weight is closing in at 1 kg, so you don't have to worry about the motherboard flexing as much. The fan will not obscure your memory modules, which is a good thing.The heatsink measures 137x129x155mm (WxDxH), therefore it will fit in most m-ATX and ATX chassis. Furthermore, like other Scythe coolers nowadays, it employs the H.P.M.S. IV mounting method to facilitate installation. Intel LGA 1700/1200/115X/2066 Square ILM/2011 (V3) Square ILM and AMD AM4/AM3(+)/AM2(+)/FM2/FM1 sockets are supported.

Pricing

The coolers are reasonably priced, you can spot them at 60 to 70 USD/EUR. This is a fair price considering the performance you gain. 

Final words

Scythe FUME2 Rev. B costs around $60 USD. We feel it's a fair price.  The performance is good (if you need more of it – you can even add a third fan); the noise level is good as well (until you overclock). The aesthetics are good. Overall, the Fuma 2 is a highly successful cooler that does not make any mistakes. The little tall twin tower is already more than enough if a standard CPU is utilized and not overclocked. But if you are looking for a powerful, quiet, unproblematic, and inexpensive cooling solution then this is a nice performance air-based cooler and comes recommended by Guru3D.
