Quality/Price ratio:
Overall:

The Scythe Setsugen 2 has shown to be a very good heatsink, with very interesting performance. The unconventional single fan structure has not affected the performance, if not in small part with regard to the VRM. Very good the GPU temperatures, both with fan in full speed mode and in silent mode. Really easy to install the potentiometer into a PCI slot to adjust the fan speed at will (and performance in relation to noise). Excellent quality of the cooler, as for Scythe's tradition, especially in relation to the price, which hovers around 40 €.We recommend the purchase of the Setsugen 2 to all those who want to improve the cooling system of your video card, especially the older ones where the stock heatsink soon starts to be noisy and inefficient.

Pros:

• Excellent performance
• Potentiometer
• Thin
• Quality/Price ratio:

Cons:

• Poor dissipation of some video card VRMs
• Thermal paste in bags instead of a tube

We thank Scythe for the product supplied to us for testing.
