Why I chose the Scythe Mugen 5c
I'm a SFF guy, but I still need to use alot tower coolers for customers. I've been using the Noctua NH-U12A on the high end, and the ID-Cooling SE-224-XT-B for budget builds, but I think the Mugen 5c is the happy place in between.
This video is not a review. It is a story. But you can download the logs from my tests here:

Testing Methodology:
Ryzen 3800X + NTH1. Run Prime94 or FFBench until toasty, then run Cinebench 23. Hwin64 for logs. Please see my other cooler videos for a stricter breakdown.
