  • If it fits your case of course. Let's take a look at this dual tower CPU cooler, see if it delivers on the new design, and investigate how it differs from the already excellent Fuma 2.

    Memory clearance is king. Well done Scythe. Would probably swap the front fan for an NF-A12x15 Chromax. Fuma 2 still happily chugging along on a 13600K.

    Fuma is the sole dual tower that I’ve seen that provides full ram clearance without moving the front fan and my favourite design.

    I love these cheaper high performong coolers that are giving Noctua heads something to think about. The U12A to me is still the go too for sff because of its smaller size with 140mm performance but if you have the clearance then there is not question where the real price to performance value is.

    • @Deleteyourself83

    Looks like a good cooler, but I'm more impressed with the U12S here. It's a single tower, has one less fan (I assume) and with a ~500rpm speedup it manages to outrun the Fuma by 4 degrees? They even cost almost the same! Obviously, RAM compatibility is in a different category on a single tower too. I'd like to see noise-normalised comparison of those two and other coolers in this bracket. Nice video!

    • @jeremysanchez8364
      @jeremysanchez8364 Год назад +5

      i think what was mentioned here is the noctua u12a and not the u12s. the u12a is 129 dollars compared to 50 dollars for the fuma 3.

    So strange that this thing don't fit in the nr200, my thermalright FC140 fits perfect on it with 2 120mm fans, a bit chunky but fits...
    Because of the performance and clearances i as thinking of switching to it but guess not!

    • @MachinesMore
      @MachinesMore  Год назад +2

      It’s mainly the new width of that rear facing tower. 156.5mm height could in theory be OK (I mean the U12A usually fits for me) but I think when the back brace pushes it out it gets a tad taller.

    Great video, as always. Just one question: (do you think)/(did you check whether) it's possible to clip in the NR200 side panel after removing the top heat pipe cover? Or there's still that same interference? Thanks!

    • @algokiddo
      @algokiddo 9 месяцев назад

      I'm being super specific and invested in this cooler because cooler availability here in brazil is simply terrible. Most other options I read are either super expensive or never actually come here. I could buy a Mugen 5 or a DeepCool AK620 right now, but both are sitting at the same price as Fuma 3, that just launched. I'd love your input, if it's not a bother.

  • @bp8__163

  • @JerameatC
    @JerameatC Год назад +1

    are you using stock cpu settings? I wanted to get an air cooler for my 5800x instead of using aio cause it takes up so much space and its even maxing out heat wise with the 240mm aio.

    • @MachinesMore
      @MachinesMore  Год назад

      For thermal tests I control by locking voltage and clocks to the higher end of typical all-core boost clocks. Have you tried curve optimizer and/or pbo power limits? Setting a PPT limit of 110W could result in great thermals with a minimal performance hit.

      I did also test in rear exhaust, but the results for rear intake are presented for consistency against other tests. Rear exhaust was very slightly worse (within the realm of test variance though).

    -Barely outperforms the Fuma 2 at high speeds, higher fin density means it will likely have worse performance at lower speeds
    -Compatibility is a side grade
    -Cheaper
    Overall a sidegrade it seems.

    • @MachinesMore
      @MachinesMore  Год назад

      Yes, this is definitely a cooler that will excel at moderate fan speeds since low fan speeds will go nowhere.

  • @KurtKloetentreter
    @KurtKloetentreter Год назад

    I wish there was even a single dual tower cooler that's 140mm or lower in height, my ek aio pump makes weird bubbling noises and will likely have to get replaced at some point. Kinda wanna go back to aircooling but my protolyth slate won't take more than 140mm of CPU cooler height 😢

    • @MrSouthSioux

      How tall is Noctua u12a? Expensive but they are supposed to perform like a 140 but in 120mm size. Water cooling to me is overrated marketing bs.
