Scythe Fuma 3 CPU Air Cooler, Intel LGA1700, LGA1151, AMD AM5/Ryzen 120mm, Dual Tower, Black Top Cover

I decided to give this cpu cooler a try because the AIO I thought I wanted was out of stock. I was having trouble finding parts to fit my build (most was already purchased) and this was compatible with the parts I had. I am SO HAPPY with this cooler that I decided to stick with it! It's great quality, whisper quiet, and keeps my cpu cool. Here's my build: - Fractal Pop Mini Air (medium form factor case) - MSI mag b650m (mATX) - Ryzen 7 7800X3D - T Force 32GB GDDR5 6000MHz (tall ram!) - EVGA 3080ti ftw (undervolted, runs hot) Case clearance was tough due to the tall ram and smaller case, but this cpu cooler fit easily and was easy to install. It was clearly boxed with care and came with a great screw driver with a magnetic tip, too. I had more fun unboxing this than anything else. Installation was easy and straightforward, the instructions were good, and it worked right away. When I stress tested my cpu, this was the quietest air cooler I've ever had and far exceeded my expectations for cooling, too. I've been using it for months and am still happy! I can't say enough how impressed I am with it and pleased with my purchase, scythe did a great job. I'd absolutely buy this again and highly recommend it.

Great so far. The PC community calls this a high performing budget option but it doesn’t look and feel nor function like a budget cooler. It looks nice, performs even nicer, super quiet in my opinion. I use it for a Ryzen 7 7800X3D CPU, a very popular one for gaming and it cools great. I had an older PC by about 6 years that I used to replace the stock cooler, before I got my 7800X3D and temps went from around low 80s to mid 60s. This was an i7 9700F. For the 7800X3D at stock clocks/voltages and CPU fan curves, it would hover around the low 70s during gaming and upper 70s maybe even low 80s, I don’t recall exactly, during stress testing. I’ve since put a mild-moderate undervolt and set the fan speed to 100 percent at all times because why not, and gaming temps are consistently at 60 degrees with sometimes hitting 65 and stress testing doesn’t go above like 71. So all in all a great cooler.

The quietest fan I've had. The only thing I hear in my case anymore is the old CD reader. Came with everything I needed, and included a screwdriver that I've desperately needed for all other parts as well. Fit well in my XL case, keeps it cool, thus far performs its job absolutely well, and isn't bright and flashy in color unlike many of the ones I looked at. May not fit inside smaller cases though, that's for sure.

I was highly impressed with this company. For the price, I expected a good cooler but not this good. This thing is amazing and looks awesome. The hardware is great quality. I was pleasantly surprised to see that they actually included a nice magnetic screwdriver and thermal paste. Also extra fan clips in case you want to add a 3rd one. I have tall RAM and the offset made it fit around it great. To me, its pretty much silent. My case fans are louder than it is so from what I can tell it makes essentially no noise. I wouldnt spend a dime more for other brands if I can get this for this price.

I came here from the Hardware Canucks youtube review of this cooler and agree with a lot of what they said. This is a very nice twin-tower air cooler that does not cover your RAM, so if you have RGB RAM it will shine through in all its glory. Installation was super simple on AM5 with very detailed and easy-to-follow instructions. My favorite part of installing it was being able to fully assemble the fans onto the heatsink BEFORE I mounted it to my motherboard. This is key if your motherboard is already installed in the case since my case is not super big and trying to get my hands in there to mount the fans would be a little difficult. In one of my pics you can see the super long magnetic screwdriver that is included fits in the tiny little exposed sections of the cooler to screw down the cooler to its mounting base. Such a nice touch!! Ryzen 7 typically runs warm so my 7700x is currently undervolted with a -30 voltage curve, 105w ppt, and 85c max temp limit. I usually idle in the mid 40c and gaming hovers around the 75c mark, sometimes getting up to 80c (in Starfield which is known to tax your CPU). The fans are quiet even at 70% speed. Running Cinebench R23 with the settings above my 7700x gets a ~19100 score with a max temp of 71c with ambient being 22c. When my room gets warmer during the summer writing this review, I've seen a score as low as 18900 but with a max CPU temp of 74c and ambient of 28c. So ambient temps will affect cpu temps a bit. TLDR: this is a super nice quality cooler that performs within a few degrees of a Thermalright Phantom Spirit for ~$10 more (Fuma 3 is currently $50 USD as of Sept 2023), but feels much nicer and has very nice quality fans for relatively low noise and very good cooling. Installation is super simple, and well thought out, and its one of the few twin-tower coolers that will not cover your RAM. I say buy it!

Keeps my temps down.. while gaming.. pumps go out, fans tend to get noisy before they do- and what matters most, it works well to cool the CPU. Enough said.

This thing is a little overkill for my i5-12600KF, but it works amazingly. Runs silent under full load, both during gaming and stress tests, and keeps my CPU at a nice 60-70°C at ~26°C ambient. It's fairly large, but fits well within my Corsair 4000D. It's fairly easy to assemble; the fans simply hook on to the heat sink (except I was dumb and couldn't figure out how to orient them for far too long). Overall, this is a great mid range cooler. I'm not sure how well it will perform on more power hungry CPUs, but I'm willing to bet it will do just fine.

I run a Ryzen 7 5800x on a Gigabyte B450 Aorus in a Mid-Tower case. When I upgraded from a Ryzen 2700x I knew I would need to upgrade my cooler. I did a bunch of research and found some testing done on this cooler... with a third fan added to it (The same Scythe Kaxe Flex II the cooler already has 2 of) it actually outperforms most 120mm water coolers. I was shocked as this plus another fan is half the price of a water cooler. I purchased this just to test it out and sure enough; even with just 2 fans installed on the cooler my CPU never touches over 76 degrees, with the third I am peaking at 73 degrees. And with all three fans running I can barely even hear the fans. If you want to save some money and not run liquid this is the cooler for you.

Sehr leise und effizient. Funktioniert auch auf AM4

Ottimo dissipatore utilizzato per raffreddare ryzen 9900x. Ottimi risultati con cinebench non supera 85 - 86 gradi. Nessun problema di RAM troppo alte. Veramente soddisfatto.

- Eu tenho um processador já um pouco velho, o PC fez 11 anos em 2023. É um i7 3770k. - Como indicado nas fotos, utilizava o cooler stock da intel. Em "idle" a temperatura ficava em torno dos 40-50C° e em "load" a temperatura ficava na casa dos 70-80C°. P.s. Nunca havia trocado a pasta térmica original, eu sei, mais de 10 anos usando a pasta térmica original incluída no cooler stock, é loucura. Simplesmente nunca troquei. :V P.s. 2 Com a compra do novo cooler decidi trocar a pasta térmica. Troquei pela IMPLASTEC TS Cold com uma condutividade térmica anunciada de 10.5 W/mk. - O cooler Fuma 3 da Scythe realmente fez uma incrível diferença dissipação do calor. — Não utilizo, ainda, nenhuma curva personalizada na velocidade das ventoinhas, portanto as temperaturas são valores "padrões". - Em "idle" observei que a temperatura agora fica na casa dos 30-40C°, uma queda de mais ou menos 10C°. Em "load" a mudança foi muito mais significativa, variando entre os 48-59C°. Uma diminuição quase na casa dos 20C°. - Esse Fuma 3 foi quase uma compra excessiva para a minha condição. Porém eu buscava comprar uma peça que estaria entre: "cooler dos próximos 10 anos" ao "cooler pro resto da vida". — Enquanto a ferragem continuar em bom estado (sem ferrugem, corrosão ou amassado), trocar as ventoinhas e pasta térmica seria o máximo da manutenção necessária. Esta compra foi feita de uma recomendação de amigo. Como ele mesmo disse, quanto mais quente o processador, mais eficiente é esse cooler. A ferragem quase consegue, sozinha, lidar com o calor do meu processador, com as duas ventoinhas incluídas ele refrigera bastante, e ainda tem espaço sobrando para mais uma outra ventoinha. A performance apresentada em vídeos no YT, comparam o Fuma 3 com o Noctua NH-d15, claro, a um custo muito menor.

Montado en una: - Tarjeta madre, ROG Strix B550-F Gaming - Procesador, AMD RYZEN 5 5600X - Gabinete, Cooler Master TD500 Jugando llegaba máximo a 94 c con mi antiguo disipador y con este máximo a 74c.

I bought this primarily because my original Fuma 2 (not rev. b) would not fit on an Asus Strix Z790-H as the heatpipes and fin array of the cooler interfered with the high heatsinks on the Asus Board. It would not fit even if I used the LGA1700 mounting kit, which I bought separately. So, I bought the Fuma 3 as apparently it had better compatibility and hoped for the best. The Fuma 3 shipped to the UK from the US and arrived today. Fortunately, this cooler fits fine on the Strix board and is now silently keeping my 13600k cool. The slim front fan is even more recessed back from the memory slots on the Fuma 3, it has a denser fin array and the spread of the heatpipes seem to have a narrower footprint. It has a sleek new plastic top, hiding the heatpipe caps and the fans now go up to 1500rpm (the same as the rev B version of the Fuma 2). Another great cooler from Scythe.
