Unlike some of its cooler competitors, Chiba Japan-based Scythe is a fabless company that partners with factories in China and Taiwan for manufacturing of its air coolers, fans, and other PC hardware. The company has been delivering cooling products aimed largely at quiet performance for more than 20 years. We’ve enjoyed testing its previous products, like the fan-favorite FUMA 3 air cooler. Today we’re looking at Scythe’s latest offering, the Magoroku – a dual tower heatsink paired with two of Scythe’s Wonder Tornado 120 fans.
