Abstract: The Scythe Mugen and Infinity heatsinks are identical, except for a slightly more powerful fan on the former. The Scythe Mugen is no different, it just runs a little cooler still, and louder.

Great performance, especially on our Intel test system, Downdraft design helps to keep mainboard components cool, Highquality look and feel, Easy to use clipmounts for the fan. Supports 25mm and 38mm thickness fans.
The base is slightly convex, Mounting system is not totally secure — it allows the heatsink to be rotated, Performance not consistent across Intel and AMD systems bit weaker on the AMD side, Expensive

The Scythe Infinity is one big mother of a cooler. It offers awesome cooling performance and is a real alternative to watercooling.In the past when I was testing at high overclocks I often had to install watercooling just to be sure the CPU air cooling...
Excellent cooling performance, Very quiet, low speed fan included, Fan can be operated at reduced voltage for virtually silent operation, Excellent build quality, Easy, toolless installation, Universal mounting system supports Socket 478, 775, and K8/A
Large size may be an issue for some installations (SFF cases), Universal mounting system may not be adequate for weight, Fan mounting wires not very flexible
The Scythe Infinity CPU cooler produced excellent cooling results with minimal noise while using the bundled 120mm low-speed fan. Undervolting the fan made it virtually silent without significantly compromising cooling. The overall construction and...
