Too Quiet: Scythe Ninja 5 CPU Cooler Review vs. FUMA 2, Noctua, & Liquid Coolers

After reviewing the Scythe FUMA 2 relatively positively, we're now benchmarking the Scythe Ninja 5 CPU air cooler. This is a massive cooler and rivals the Noctua NH-D15 in size, but is cheaper.

In these benchmarks, we're testing the Scythe Ninja 5 CPU cooler versus other "best" CPU coolers we've tested thus far. The Ninja 5 goes up against Scythe's own FUMA 2, but we also test the Ninja 5 with the FUMA 2 fans to see if it improves on the charts. Additionally, we're testing the Noctua NH-D15, Deepcool Assassin III, Arctic Liquid Freezer II 280, and plenty more. We're slowly building-out the list of tested devices and will continue our search for the best CPU coolers.
