Differences and Specifications
Now we analyze the differences between the Mugen 2 and the Mugen 3 from many points of view:
For information purposes we report the conversion formula between CFM and flow in cubic meters per hour. (m 3 / {2}h) ={/2} CFM / 0,589
From the comparison table we can deduce that the Mugen 3 is characterized by a lower weight, is slightly deeper and has an almost complete and updated compatibility. The fan, although potentially more noisy, has a PWM 4-pin connector, which is thus also adjustable from the CPU connector of the motherboard, and it has also has a greater air flow. The cable of the fan has a good quality black sleeve, which was not present in the past. In our opinion, there was certainly a partial revision aimed at optimizing the overall design, while Scythe tried to expand the specificity of this product: the presence of a fan with a so high airflow is thought in order to offer a manageable, comprehensive and versatile product.
If you really want to find a note of demerit perhaps you might just consider the structure of the fan itself. From this point of view there are no important innovations such as a redesigned and smaller engine, a special shape of the blade, deflectors or vibration-damping systems. However, the price at which the Mugen3 is proposed is very aggressive, which fully justifies the decision to use one version which is not too advanced. In addition, the size of the engine is already quite small, in fact the SY1225SL12M-P fan belongs to the Slip Stream family. The fan has excellent build quality, very good quality details for the cable sleeving and it is aesthetically pretty, with an eye-catching sticker.
