The Package

The Scythe Mugen 2 arrives in a very unique box which shows an image of the cooler hovering in Space. Four features are advertised on the front and the supported CPU’s are listed. Apparently the Mugen 2 is a 10% improvement over the first model.

On the rear of the box the warranty is explained in English on the right and Japanese on the left.

The left side of the box shows thumbnails of the Mugen 2 installed on various CPU sockets. Also listed are all the accessories and mounting clips provided with the Scythe. A table towards the bottom shows various sizes and statistics of the cooler in six different languages.

The opposing side explains the four features detailed on the front in more depth. These are explained in both English and Japanese and have images for cohesion.

Altogether this is a very informative box with all the needed information for any potential consumer. It’s also very bold and would stand out on any shop shelf.

Opening the box reveals the heatsink to be protected thoroughly with cardboard sections which are folded into the fins.

This is a good amount of accessories, however, it would have been nice for an extra fan and set of fan clips to be provided – you’ll see why later on.
