On thing that annoys me when I hear the criticism of Noctua coolers is that they are expensive. In my opinion this criticism is unfair considering what you get with the cooler: 1) An incredibly easy mounting system for AMD and Intel, plus you can get a free AM4 mounting kit for Ryzen from Noctua. 2) An extra long Phillips screwdriver which is not just useful for installing the cooler but also for building the rest of your system. 3) A syringe of excellent Noctua NT-H1Thermal Paste which is consistently near the top of any reviews of thermal paste - look for yourself. This saves you about £6 compared to other coolers where you have to buy the paste separate because what is supplied is poor quality. 4) A nigh on silent fan which will remain silent for many years.(unlike other fans which start to shake, rattle and roll after about a year or so. 5) The fan supplied with the cooler is a PWM fan. This means you can set up a profile for your motherboard to only have the fan spin as fast as needed, or even turned off if you are only doing things like browsing the Internet. 6) A 4-pin Low Noise Adapter which will allow you to slow down the fan whilst still allowing for variable fan speed. For other coolers you would have to fork out another £4 for something like this. 7) Mounts are supplied so that you can add another 92mm fan to the other side in a push-pull configuration and the second fan will not interfere with any RAM. 8) Go look at reviews and you will find that this cooler outperforms other coolers which are a lot larger - numbers don't lie - and give you no end of hassle with RAM clearance etc. I don't work for Noctua but I have been buying their fans and coolers for about 10 years now, and I have yet to have one of the fans become loud or fail on me - so I am a fan-boy if you like :D It's not so much that you should have a reason for buying one of these coolers, it's that you should have a reason for NOT buying one.Read full review
