Scythe Musashi VGA Cooler Review
Conclusions
Contents
Comparing the Scythe Musashi with the Zalman VF1000 LED, the Scythe is always better. It kept our video card GPU colder and quieter at minimum and maximum speeds. The installation is as simple as the Zalman, and the level of compatibility is the same.
The Musashi is also cheaper than the VF1000 LED, and has 16 heatsinks for memory chips and a set of heatsinks for the VRM transistors, all of which is very good, because the fans push air into the board, efficiently cooling all the components on it.
The only way in which the Musashi is not better than the VF1000 LED, in our opinion, is its looks. Actually, the Musashi looks a little clumsy, being too big to have good aesthetics.
It also does not remove the hot air from the case, so you will have to think about case airflow in order to get good overall cooling.
Because of its excellent cooling performance and extremely low noise, the Scythe Musashi VGA cooler receives the Hardware Secrets Golden Award.
