Scythe's Mugen Max heatsink stands 166mm tall and ships with a 140mm "Glidestream" fan that draws power from a standard 4-pin PWM fan header. The six, 6mm diameter heatpipes are spaced roughly 30mm apart as they pass through the 104mm tall aluminum fin stack. The cooling fins are essentially separated into four 31.5mm wide towers. Each aluminum fin measures 0.4mm thick and is spaced ~2.75mm apart. The bottom-most fin is elevated 42mm above the socket for good motherboard component clearance.

Wire fan clips without thumb tabs are used to mount the fan. The six heat pipes are soldered to a thin nickel plated copper base plate and to the aluminum cap. The heatpipes are swaged into the aluminum fins for a good thermal joint. Note that the base of the Mugen Max heatsink is not centered, but rather positioned towards the leading fin edge.

The leading and trailing edge of each aluminum fin has a serrated profile to reduce the towers' airflow resistance. The nickel plated copper base of the Scythe Mugen Max heatsink measures 42.5 x 38mm in size and 2mm thick. The aluminum base support on top of the heatpipes is 12mm thick. The top of the Mugen Max is covered by a shiny aluminum fan shroud, which gives it a nice minimalist profile.
