According to our processor cooler expert
The Scythe Mugen 5 is a processor cooler that you can use in combination with almost all processors. This way you stop overheating your processor, even if you charge it to the maximum. The cooler is designed so that you can also use working memory that is larger than the standard size. Your memory will not come into contact with the heatsink. You place an extra fan on the cooler for even better cooling: on the one hand, the fan carries cold air, while the hot air is immediately drained. With a maximum noise level of 24.9 dB, this cooler works at the whisper level.

This admittedly huge cooler more than delivers.
Fantastic cooling performance because it is such a huge block (more than 1 kg), making it nice and quiet. Especially if your motherboard supports temperature-based control.
The assembly is quite simple due to the manual that is present, it is very clearly stated which instruction you have to go through for the chosen socket of the motherboard.
Moreover, this cooler does not take up any space on your memory slot, some coolers sometimes want to take the 1st slot.
I use this cooler in combination with an Asus Z270E board, with i7-7700K, and haven't seen temperatures above 60 degrees yet.

Keeping my Intel 2500K @ 4.5Ghz 1.38v very cool with temperatures of 21/22C (IDLE), 54/56C (LOAD) in a ~35-38C ambient cabinet temperature.
A few more CPU-Z Bench "Stress CPU" LOAD temps:
I've never gotten my Sandy Bridge stable past 4.9Ghz... And I also think it's too bad to keep the voltage above 1.4v for a longer period of time, let alone 1.65v, even though this cooler keeps the temperatures below the 70C
The RPM fluctuates between 400 and 900RPM, so the Scythe Mugen 5 B cannot be heard during IDLE. You can hear it at 900RPM, but with headphones you have to do your best. My 1500RPM 80mm case fans are a lot louder!
The PC is built into vintage Cooler Master ATC-110 SX from the year 2002, this is a full aluminum case, the case probably has influence on the very low temperatures. Partly the reason why I still use this case. It was a bit exciting whether this cooler would fit, but measuring exactly 16cm from the motherboard to the top of the cooler (fan/heat pipes), it fits perfectly with approx. one millimeter left!
Might be useful to know for other people who have to replace their old cooler and also have an older/smaller case, measuring is knowing (and hoping :D )
