Review Scythe Fuma 3 Review: Compact Profile, Big Cooler Bite

[Admin]

Scythe’s Fuma 3 will fit into most SFF cases, with a height of only 154mm (6.06 inches), but it still manages to offer cooling performance comparable to larger, high options.

Cons​

• - Some larger, pricier alternatives perform better

Instead of this, maybe a different wording? Something like: for X price increase you get Y% better cooling?

Why the cooling capacity is much lower on recent AMD models than the Intel ones?
I have seen this multiple times, but do not know the reasons

You can't compare the cooling capacity on Ryzen 7 7700X to that of Intel i7-13700K, the reason I use these two CPUs is to see how different processors can be impacted by cooling.

The 7700X uses less power, but it has a higher thermal density. If you were gonna try to compare Intel to AMD more closely here, you'd need to at least use a 7900X instead.

We have to list a "con" for our articles.

Personally, I don't feel that there really are any "cons" for this product.

with max turbo TDP of 253 watts for intel , I think that air cooling is not an option anymore for intel unless you are willing to sacrifice alot of performance , and thats before any OC.

Both AMD and Intel CPUs will hit TJMax in maximum intensity workloads, and neither loses a lot of performance with air cooling. Really - unless you're using a tiny SFF cooler, the performance difference will be small in heavy loads like rendering and non-existent in most common workloads.

In this author's personal opinion overclocking is mostly pointless on most modern CPUs unless you're willing to delid your CPU.
