Scythe Fuma 2 CPU Air Cooler

Scythe releases Fuma 2 Revision B CPU cooler | Club386

Scythe has announced a revision of its much-praised Fuma 2 CPU air cooler, bringing new fans and support for Intel LGA 1700. For recall, the original Fuma 2 was a great performer in online reviews, fighting head-to-head with Noctua’s NH-D15 while getting closer to AIO liquid cooler territory.

Scythe Announces Fuma 2 Rev. B CPU Cooler

Scythe releases today a revised version of the premium High-End CPU Cooler Fuma 2. Based on the classic Fuma 2 asymmetrical heatsink design, the award-winning twin tower cooler is now upgraded with two new Kaze Flex II fans. The new fans increase the airflow by speeding up to 1500 RPM and the rubber frame design guarantees grand noise reduction

It’s time to wrap this up, and it should be clear by now that the Scythe Fuma 2 impressed the heck out of me. It’s the lowest price cooler in our charts and it competed really well against the alternatives that cost $40 more. If you’re running a more basic system than us, say for instance you’re running an Core i9-9900K or AMD Ryzen 3950X, this should be your go-to cooler

It is, however, the overall ethos we take away from the Fuma 2 and, in full credit to Scythe, they go a substantial way in achieving it! While the Fuma 2 may not have the high-end performance of some of its competition, it comes remarkably close and at a significantly lower price. Yes, it may not have the legs to handle overclocking on a significant scale, but if you place a greater priority on noise and solid stock performance, the Scythe Fuma 2 is an excellent and inexpensive alternative to its better-known competitors. Pros Solid bullet-proof designEasy to install (particularly for such a big cooler)A strong aesthetic without having to rely on any RGB lighting effectsExcellent noise levelsPerforms at a level well-beyond expectationsHighly competitive price to performance ratioA legitimate option to upgrade with the installation of a third fan Cons Neutral Lacks the ‘out of the box’ ability for comfortable overclocking

I've owned a Noctua D15 (dual fan version) for awhile now and when I finally saw that Scythe released a version 2 of the fuma I was curious and decided to get it and test it out. It's been years since I last used a Scythe cooler. Before installing the Fuma 2 I ran a thermal benchmark using an absolu...

In the overclock testing running the three fans at 1200 RPM, the temperature equals the dual knock to a config, while noise levels were a lot lower. Well, I guess it's time to wrap this up, and I want to level with you guys here. The Fuma 2 from scythe impressed the heck out of me

Scythe Fuma 2 Review

Even so, the design itself is solid, and there are no faults with the build quality. Two cutouts provide easy access to the mounting screws, meaning users can mount the fans before installing the heatsink, which is nice. In terms of looks, the top plates are black with the Scythe logo emblazoned upon them

Great Cooler With Plenty of Room to Spare

Prologue: The Wraith Spire cooler I had with my Ryzen 7 2700 was doing okay, but it would have big spikes in temps whenever the CPU was used to transcode. The temps would idle at 39-40C (22C Ambient) and peak at 65-70C (on Prime95). The Wraith Spire would frequently spin up its fans to cool the CPU,...
