I had an enormous Noctua heat sink with two fans in my last computer. It was awesome quiet! The only problem is that after 7.5 years, it started leaking. Right on my formerly expensive video card. That fried it. I scrounged a decent video card off a friend. It also fried that one before I figured out what was going on.
I'm going to go with a Cool Master because Noctua won't stop making those faggot light brown fans. I don't care too much about aesthetics, but it pisses me off that so many reviewers complain about it, and Noctua does nothing about it but offer to sell other colored fans individually. That indicates an asshole company with a jew middle-man rubbing his hands together.
Thanks for the help though!
E: And although I think Cool Master is a stupid name, I like that they remain using the taboo word "Master," haha! Unlike SJW Git and their repo default name change.
7.5 years? Damn, that's longer than all my builds have lasted (and most of my cases as well). You make a good point about their baby-shit fans though.
And Coolermaster is also a good brand, they've been going for ages for both cases and cooling.
And fuck the SJW thought-policing bullshit. To me it's still master/slave, and the word dongle will always have a place in my vocabulary.
7.5 years?
Yeah, and it still works too (with heat sink replaced with a standard CPU fan and a second-hand crappy third video card). All the parts I bought for it around 2013 were just at the moment price / performance started skyrocketing. So it was a $2K build at the time even with something like over $200 of rebates. Kind of expensive, but my life revolves around computers.
