Scythe Musashi VGA Cooler
We have reviewed a few Scythe CPU coolers here at HardwareLogic. We have also reviewed some non-Scythe VGA coolers. But there is a first time for everything and today we will be taking a close look at our first Scythe VGA cooler, the Musashi. Scythe is known for offering CPU coolers that provide a respectable balance of cool and quiet. They are trying to do the same here with their latest VGA cooling option. Let's dive in and take a closer look at the Scythe Musashi. We shall see if this should be a consideration for enthusiasts desiring a cooling upgrade for their video card.
