AMD Ryzen 7 3700X Baseline test

Time for the essence of this review. The Scythe Mugen 5 Black Edition be enough for the range of CPUs from the Pentium to the Core i7 Hexa-core, or even the Core i9 octa-core and the AMD Ryzen family. We ran the test at the default frequencies. First up is the IDLE temperature, measured when the CPU does next to nothing, just waiting for any action by the user.

There are no major differences in this case.

Here, it’s becoming more interesting, and you can see some differences. The ambient temperature was about 22°C, affecting cooling performance for sure, but we tested all the previous coolers in similar conditions. You don’t want to have the CPU above 75-80 degrees at default frequencies; otherwise, you can assume that the cooler is undoubtedly doing an inferior job. This air cooler offers good performance. On the next page, we’ll show you how it looks like on the Intel platform.
