The Scythe Mugen 3 PCGH Edition differs significantly from the standard model, since instead of one 1,600 RPM fan it has two 800 RPM fans. It does retain the 48-fin heatsink with six heatpipes that is supposed to provide enough cooling surface.
The Ninja 3 Silent Version is equipped with one 12 cm fan that runs at 800 RPM instead of the 1,600 RPM of the standard edition. It's very robust cooler split into four sections connected by a row of thin plates. Every opposite cooling block shares four copper heatpipes, which means a total of eight heatpipes. There are a total of four 12 cm fan positions, only one of which is used.
Like all Scythe's CPU coolers, the ends of the heatpipes are capped off. It's a more attractive-looking solution than we see with other brands, where you often see the uncovered ends that have been squeezed shut. With the fans running on high, the Scythe Mugen 3 PCGH Edition performance even better. On average it measured only four degrees warmer than the best cooler we've tested, which is a very impressive performance. Only with a 160 watt load does this CPU cooler perform a little less.
The Ninja 3 Silent Version scores, not entirely surprising, quite a bit worse and ends up towards the bottom of the list. Considering it's equipped with a single 800 RPM fan that is to be expected, great cooling performance is not the number one priority for this fan. Source
