Scythe Mugen 2 and fan brackets
I have a Scythe Infinity and just upgraded to a socket 1156 CPU. The Infinity isn't compatible so I've been thinking about getting the Mugen 2.
The reviews shows the Mugen 2 works really well with 2 fans, but comes with only one fan clip. Is there an alternate way to mount the 2nd fan without buying an extra official fan clip?
Either that or I could stick with my Infinity and buy the adapter. However it's a push pin design which sucks and I don't think it performs that well.

Re: Scythe Mugen 2 and fan brackets
Hi. I know this is quite an old thread, but I'm having the same problem as the OP regarding the Scythe Mugen 2 Rev. B. The only retailer I can find that sells official Scythe Clips is across the country. I don't really want to pay shipping for $3 worth of clips =(
Does anyone have any suggestions on clips from other manufacturers or other make-shift solutions on mounting Scythe fans to the mugen 2?
thanks!

Mugen 2 is a great cooler. I'm cooling a Phenom II X4 940 with it semi-passively. No fan on the CPU but running the top exhaust on my Antec 300 @ low and a Slipstream 800rpm in the rear.
I've yet to see it hit over 54C...

(8x) 8 inch zip ties.
through the fan holes, through the fins, through the second fans holes. slid a second zip tie over the exposed tail to secure it.
