CONCLUSION

   Even though the Mugen 5 ARGB Plus is not the highest performance model in our charts it does come very close to that and on top of that it’s without doubt one of the most impressive looking ones (if not the most impressive one). Yes, the Kaze Flex 120 ARGB fans may not be the most impressive ones in the market currently (RGB fan comparison coming up soon) but thanks to the top shroud the end result is indeed something we’ve not seen to date. Of course, the cooling efficiency of this model is largely due to the two high-performance Kaze Flex 120 ARGB fans so noise levels are quite higher compared to both the Mugen 5 PCGH and the original Mugen 5.

   The Mugen 5 ARGB Plus by Scythe was officially released less than a month ago and so currently it only retails inside the EU for 79Euros (Amazon.de) a price tag which is not at all bad considering that the previous versions (non-RGB ones) cost roughly the same. At the end of the day it all comes down to whether or not RGB lighting is important for you so if it is then things can’t get much better right now than the Scythe Mugen 5 ARGB Plus which is also why it gets our Golden Award.
