Mugen 2 & Mugen 2 Rev.B Compatibility List

[Elrod]

Hello,

i've put an new Mugen 2 Rev B in an passive configuration on my non-OC system and i'm very impressed of the quality of the cooler!

Installation is a little bit tricky but almost perfect.

I've used the scythe slipstram as the back-fan of my case (Antec Threehundred) and a Noctua Ultrasilent 140 mm as an additional top-fan. The mugen itself is fanless. The i7-860 on the GA-55-UD5 board gives me after 1 hour in idle mode 29 degrees celsius. Both fans, controlled by speedfan 3.0, were running with about 650 upm.

After one hour with intelburn-test program with 8 threads i've got about 60-62 degrees. Room temperature was 21 degrees. Both were running at about 750 upm not been heard.

Absolutly perfect combination for an non-overclocked but silent system. The graphic-card is an passive cooled type (i'm not a heavy gamer).

I have a Gigabyte P55-UD4 with an Intel i5 750, Socket LGA1156, the boxed cooler was kinda noisy, when idling the cores were at ~40°C and when rendering stuff in 3DsMax my CPU temp went up to ~70°C
So I got myself a Mugen 2 Rev. B...

It works fine, my cores are down to ~30°C in idle, ~45°C when rendering, but mounting it on the mainboard was kinda hard.

Here's some pictures:

I had no one to help me out, so I had to prop up the board like this, held one of the fxing cups with a pair of tweezers and turned the corresponding screw with a screwdriver, while pushing down on the board itself with my chin, so it wouldn't move >_>



As you can see above, the passive cooling units on the board make it hard to reach the cups with your fingers, and you have to insert your RAM before installing the cooler. There is still room between the fan and the RAM, but not much. (I put the fan on that side, so it would blow the air out of the back, where it's supported by a case fan)

And this is the worst part, that plate on the back of the board is larger than the opening in the backplate.
I carefully removed a little of the insulation washer (not all of it, there's still some of it between the plates) and had to gently press down on the cooler, so I could get the screws through the assembly clip far enough to get them in the fixing cups.

Not fun, but it works.

EDIT:
Um... Yeah, I just noticed that the backplate has a notch, so I simply had to turn it around and wouldn't have had such a problem with it.
Don't know why I didn't notice that when installing the cooler
Well, I feel like an idiot now, but it works and I honestly don't want to take my comp apart again just to turn the backplate around...

Has anybody installed the Mugen-2 on an Gigabyte GA-H55M-USB3?

The new LGA1156 back plate covers the solder legs of the capacitors surrounding the CPU. That's 6 capacitors one side and 7 capacitors on another side.

I guess the Mugen-2 is NOT compatible with the GA-H55M-xxx series?

Any suggestions would be much appreciated.

Andy.

Guten Morgen,

Habe den Mugen 2 auf einem Asus M4A785TD-V Evo und bin sehr zufrieden mit diesem.

Im Idle kühlt er meinen Amd Phenom II x4 955 BE @ 3800 MHz auf 28 Grad, bei CoD6: MW2 sind es 42 Grad so wie 56 Grad bei Load mit IntelBurn.

Mit dem Gpu Kühler Musashi bin ich ebenso zufrieden, er kühlt meine His HD 4890 Turbo + 1000/1100 MHz auf 41 Grad im Idle, bei spielen wie CoD6: MW2 Load auf 55 Grad.

Hatte mit dem Standard Kühler mal eben 20 Grad mehr, was wohl einiges über die Leistung sagt.

Hier noch zwei Bilder, leider mit schlechter Qualität, aber die Sachen auf die es ankommt kann man erkennen


Zusammen mit meinem neuen case Lian Li Pc-50R ergibt sich eine sehr gute Kühlleistung

MfG Firecube

Hallo,

ich plane mir einen neuen Computer zuzulegen, bin aber recht unerfahren im Computerselbstbau, im speziellen im Cpu-Kuehler-Einbau (bis jetzt nur Boxed Kuehler gesehen und eingebaut).

Nun moechte ich mir dennoch wirklich gerne den Mugen 2 holen, da er wahnsinnig gute Bewertungen bekommen hat und mich von der Leistung her sehr ueberzeugt.

Ich habe nur Angst, ob alles ueberhaupt kompatibel ist und wende mich daher an dieses Board:

Folgende Komponenten werde ich kaufen

CPU: Intel i7 860

Mainboard:ASUS P7P55D EVO (P55 S1156 ATX)

Arbeitsspeicher: 4 mal 2 GByte G.Skill Ripjaws DDR3 RAM 1333

Besonders in Bezug auf den Arbeitsspeicher habe ich gehoert, dass es da eng werden koennte.

Kann mir jemand genaueres Sagen? Da ich ungeuebt bin und auf gar keinen Fall mein Mainboard oder meine CPU zerstoeren oder beschaedigen will, frage ich nach mehr Informationen.

Es waere super, wenn mir jemand mehr dazu sagen koennte.

EDIT: Ach ja, mein Gehaeuse wird ein BIG CoolerMaster RC840 ATC840 herausnehmbarem Mainboardschlitten. Wird das beim Einbau von Vorteil sein?

Mfg,

Limerik

Gigabyte GA-890GPA-UD3H: Compatible (Mugen 2 Rev. B)

Certain memory modules could cause problems though:





Since my HTPC got blessed by Scythe cooling earlier this year I just knew my new gaming rig would get a Scythe cooler too.
Cooling my Phenom 2 X4 965 BE (125W) with stock clocks of 3,4Ghz @ 25°C in idle and 45°C with Prime95 now. With 3,8Ghz only 49°C core temp. Keep up the good work!

works on ASUS P7P55D with G.SKILL Ripjaws. Not that much space left though.

Is it compatibile with ASUS M4A89GTD AM3 motherboard ?

thanks!

Hi,

Is the Mugen 2B compatible with this configuration :
- Mobo GA-P55A-UD5
- Ram those GSkill Ripjaws G.SKILL-Products

I'm afrai the memory modules are too high.

Thanks for you answer.
