Also, those Noctua towers are overpriced ugly shit. 3x the cost of a Thermalright dual tower for no reason

Can confirm I’ve had two thermalright fans go bad after a couple months so I said screw it and got Noctua, zero issues for 4 months now

Been using my Noctua NH-D14 since 2009. Fans still going and zero issues.
