Mugen midi volume reset6/3/2023 The only issues that remain are price and personal taste. The workmanship is very good, the performance and volume is right, the RGB lighting is standardized and a controller is included. The mounting and RAM compatibility is extremely good and offers an enormous bonus. B” back then, the second fan is even less critical. Conclusionīasically, the Mugen 5 ARGB Plus combines a decent air cooler with beautiful RGB lighting. The controller only needs a SATA power connection and is simply connected to the RGB cables of the components. The first time you switch it on, it will surely be in rainbow mode – pulsating, different colors and some other possibilities are possible, too. The RGB controller works simple – you can simply connect it to its reset switch on the case and use the button to switch through the predefined modes. Also the coupling with “foreign” RGB hardware, such as the ARGUS RS-06 like on the photo, did not cause any problems. Of course, the general look remains a matter of taste, but objectively speaking we have no criticism here. The illumination in general is very good, both the fans and the lid have strong and bright colors. Due to the standardized connectors it is also possible to connect the components to a “foreign” RGB controller. This gives you the possibility to use the included RGB controller or use the interfaces of the mainboard. We like the combination of the standard connector for ARGB with the 3-pins and the RGB controller very much. RGB lightingĪs a small and final aspect, RGB lighting is considered. In our scenario, the cooler catches the heat already at 30% PWM, so the heat is no longer noticeable from the case. If you want to use the cooler on a “smaller” CPU, as in our case, you get enough power to create a very quiet system. In any case, there is enough cooling potential to cool even more powerful CPUs – even with overclocking. Even at 50% a large part of the power is available – probably due to the push-pull configuration of the cooler. In addition to the much better temperature values, a much lower noise level can also be heard. To show how the coolers scale at a higher speed, we ran the tests at 50% and 100% fan speed.Īt first glance it is already obvious that there is an enormous difference in performance. To make sure the cooler warms up completely, we ran the test for 20 minutes and then measured the temperature. This load is the worst case scenario, so realistically the temperature should never reach these values. As a comparison we use the Intel stock cooler to demonstrate how enormous the difference in performance is.Īs a test scenario we use the Prime95 program with the “In-Place FFTs”. For the memory requirements a Crucial MX500 is available. Consisting of an Intel Xeon E3-1231 v3 on an ASRock Fatal1ty H97 Performance, equipped with 16 GB RAM and a GIGABYTE R9 380 Windforce. The instructions are easy to understand, here is a small excerptĪs a test system we used an older gaming system. The mounting on current Ryzen platforms with the AM4 socket is almost identical, only that in this case the original AMD backplate is needed. Here the enclosed screwdriver is very useful, because it is very long and you can reach all needed places easily. The mounting rail on this is already installed, so that only two screws have to be tightened. First, the knurled screws are screwed to the enclosed backplate, then the mounting rails are screwed onto them.
