Scythe SCNJ-5000 Air CPU Cooler

Super quiet, super easy to install for a cooler of it's size.
Is a monster, big size and powerful, no memory space problems.
Very good quality. Good size for my case.
This thing is very big! I had to remove one of the fans to make it fit.
A little tall for standard mid tower ATX sized cases.

Scythe SCMG-5100 CPU Air Cooler

The size, this thing is a beast. In my Cougar mid-tower case, the cooler extends almost to my side panel leaving just a cm of space or so.
I have a mid size case (NZXT H500 ATX Mid Tower Case) It fit perfectly in there.
This cooler is great. Good size, good cooling, and super quiet.
Mounting system was one of the easiest i have seen on a cooler of this size. Good size of this one.
Its a great cooler, fits nicely and installation was pretty easy.

What customers say about "Features"

Scythe SCNJ-5000 Air CPU Cooler

Its almost silent. The fans run slow, which helps noise.
Amazing cooling and whisper quiet. Would recommend.
Low noise, low temps. I recommend it.
Quiet, large and cool. Fit on my x570 motherboard.
Fans are extremely quiet (I believe they have a max RPM of 800).

Scythe SCMG-5100 CPU Air Cooler

The fan is quiet and makes no noise idle.
Sure you can replace the included FaZe fans with higher RPM, but the noise level is perfect.
There easier to maintain (clean) then twin tower designs. The noise floor was fantastic.
Noise level is superb. Huge upgrade from my stock cooler.
Keeps my unoverclock ryzen 2600 30c idle and Max 50c during gaming. Really quiet.
