This was perfect to watch for installing this cooler on a LGA1700 i7-12700KF. Thanks for video! This cooler is great no more throttling during gaming. Max core temps running in the 60-65c range.
It's interesting how different regions have more retail access for certain parts. In the US, these Scythe products are mainly available from resellers and tend to be marked up quite a bit more than they are sold for in other regions.
I'm looking at the instructions right now and in the picture it shows the rubber part is actually facing the same way this guy in the video has it. You are claiming it says that the rubber part is suppose to be in contact with the motherboard but that's not what's being shown in the diagram. I also don't really care for the text in the instructions because I find it confusing.
@@josephwilson8391 hes right, on my instructions it shows an arrow pointing at the rubber which is facing down onto the motherboard which makes sense, you dont want to scratch your pcb.
I have the Scythe Fuma 2 paired with my 11600K, and I love it. My temperature never seems to go over 65C on normal load. It's also impossible to hear it even with my ear right next to my system.
I wonder if scythe coolers will be available in Australia at some point? I've looked for them over the past few years but they're on available as expensive imports.
I replaced the Kaze with a 2400rpm WonderSnail, controlled by the "Silent" profile on my motherboard. It's still barely audible but now my 5700X is positively frigid. I put the Kaze to work as my case exhaust fan instead.
yeah, installing cooler and a backplate compatible with new socket is kinda exiting, i quess, but, does this rubber based pings or whatever things is ok for am5 as a question on height. Also i need more thermopaste on 1700 obviously..
Ok, "too little thermal paste is bad, a lot is good" or whatever nonsense he's saying, is incorrect. You CAN put too much on. If there's too much in there it prevents proper heat wicking by the heat sink. The amount he's using isn't terribly awful, but it's still more than you need. I would only use about 1/3 of what he has on there. You want just enough to form a kind of thin glaze, and we always apply ours with our finger tips (if you're not allergic to the compound or have some other such sensitivity) and use a spot about the size of 1-2 grains of rice and spread it manually to cover the surface. Editing to add: this is otherwise a great video, don't get me wrong. And from what I've seen of many of his other videos, they're by and large extremely helpful, and of course well done. I just have this stupid pet peeve about how much thermal paste should be used. I was an electronics technician in the US Navy, and have been building/repairing computers now for 30+ years, so I have experience in this area.
I have rev b. I just bought a 7950x3d. Is there an adapter kit, or are the fittings already in the container I just need to try them out? Otherwise I'm just going to use cable ties which seemed to work pretty well for me
@@cooperstevens2464 I found some razors I had laying around from other heatsink installations. I was able to attach it nicely keeping the temperature is really low. Although I could not use the backplate. I just use the cable tie to give it a little extra support from sagging
AM5 & AM4 has the same installation method? I have a schythe mugen 5 non Rev version that only supports up to AM4. So I guess I will have no problem installing it on the AM5 platform too?
Average Intel noob: We have a new socket every two years and the mounting of coolers is different too REEEE, buy more stuff! Average AMD chad: Sure bro, here's our new socket after many generation on the previous one, and don't worry, you can use your cooler forever.
I think you mean this is the Scythe Screwdriver Rev. C and it also includes a cooler for some reason.

Need to do a comparison of the differences in the screw drivers between rev b. And rev c.
Love this channel. Just last night I was looking for info about the Rev C variant of this cooler, perfect timing.
It's interesting how different regions have more retail access for certain parts. In the US, these Scythe products are mainly available from resellers and tend to be marked up quite a bit more than they are sold for in other regions.
Prices aren't too bad on Amazon. This one goes for about $57, which seems reasonable for the performance.
well, I think that's normal. Since it's thesame case for Be Quiet in Indonesia, lol.
Awesome informative guide once again fans. Keep up the hard work
Thanks Nick for this tutorial.
This was super helpful, showing the paste spread was a great idea.
You can't go wrong with Scythe.
I have a Mugen 5 PCGH Edition Push/Pull.
It's silent and effective.
10:37 The rubber part of the standoffs should be in contact with the motherboard. The box details this instruction. But, thanks for the video.

@@josephwilson8391 It's rubber up for AMD and rubber down for Intel.
I have one of these running on a 2007 core2quad extreme qx9650 running at 3.6gz. It works pretty well. So yeah it fits old builds.
Screw in with confidence... -"the verge"
I just bought an Scythe mugen 5 black edition... Do you know if this new brackets for AM5 is compatible with other mugens releases?

between the stock Kaze fan on the mugen vs using the wondersnail, what would you prefer?

Love my Rev B, air ftw
love these "Stock BackPlate" coolers! Debating on getting Arctic Freezer 34 duo vs this one. which one should I get?
34 Duo is good and cheap, but if you have the cash I would get the Mugen. It also comes in a black version.
awesome video 😎👍
Great video. Subscribed.
Great video, thanks. It helped me a lot.
"A little is to much is fine " except when you have conductive thermal paste like artic silver
Is that micro atx motherboard u using im about to get this one im using b450m can i install this fan?
yeah, installing cooler and a backplate compatible with new socket is kinda exiting, i quess, but, does this rubber based pings or whatever things is ok for am5 as a question on height. Also i need more thermopaste on 1700 obviously..
Would this cooler be enough for the 12700kf?
I believe so. Consider adding a second fan to freeze your processor.
Hey do you think the lga 1700 bend corrector will help with the contacts? I bought this and saw a video regaring the cpu bending for lga 1700.

Correct
@@GearSeekers thanks man
tis works on a b 650 whit blackplate stuck?
Is there any way to know if those kind of coolers fits on out case's? From this perspective it seems a huge metal dinossaur foot
Look up the specs of your case and see if it will fit a 155mm cooler, or try PC Partpicker, but they don't have every case ever made.
your backplate screws come off
mine are attached to my backplate
i have an msi mobo and tha backplate doesnt fit
Can't seem to source them here in NZ :(
Will this fit z690i rog strix?
Excuse me sir, could you tell me what mother board are you using?

no one cares your dusted meme anymore, and intel 12th gen crushing Ryzen still stays true for now
@@baoquoc3710 duh 12th gen is new lmfao what do you expect they downgrade?
Does it perform any better/worse than the Rev.b?
Bad video💀💔
Why you hating on a tutorial? 💀
@@just_matt3937 Because they can 😂
well presented.
