pretty sure they they would have considered this themselves at some point as well.

 

couple things to keep in mind tho:

- a "high end" company like noctua has a lot of secrets

- theres not too much amazing production in a fan, at least not much film-able.

- it costs a lot of money to make a video like that, and someone has to pay it.

Because Noctua doesn't have the money to fly them out to Australia, Feed them, give them decent internet, and pay for a return trip.

 

They are just too low-level (even though they are the only cpu coolers (aside from stock) I use in clients systems) in the cooler space.

Yeah maybe if LTT bought a little more from them.  Not that they don't use a lot of fans, just, they don't cost that much.  Now, if the company bought several million dollars worth of product on a yearly basis and there was legitimate educational value in seeing it done, then it would be a different story, but that's just not the situation.

Having been there before doesn't make it shorter ;)

 

But I didn't know they've been to Germany... when was that?

For the Cherry and Sennheiser tours, and I think they were also invited to Germany by BMW for a high-tech car review. Because I know they reviewed a high-tech car from BMW, I just don't remember if it was in Canada or Germany.

Didn't they say on a WAN show that they would only do things like factory tours and what not... If they could do more than 1 in a particular place?
Is there another company in Austria where Noctua is based, that they could tour as well?

CPU: AMD Ryzen 3700x / GPU: Asus Radeon RX 6750XT OC 12GB / RAM: Corsair Vengeance LPX 2x8GB DDR4-3200
MOBO: MSI B450m Gaming Plus / NVME: Corsair MP510 240GB / Case: TT Core v21 / PSU: Seasonic 750W / OS: Win 10 Pro

It wouldn't make sense to fly there just for doing a review/tour of the Noctua plant. If they could include another location or two, or meet with the modding community there it might be worth it. Not sure where BeQuiet is located, but they could meet with them possibly?

Because watching a video of linus walking through a factory furiously masturbating isn't really entertaining or informative. 

muh specs

Noctua can afford it.

Alright... Let's say that they do have enough money in the PR Budget to do this.

But how do we know they want to? How do we know that Nocua just doesn't make their fans with Slave Labor.

Also... A fan factory? Do you know how boring that sounds? I mean something that quite literally blows, and is overpriced. The tech fandom so will always confuse me.

Noctua has been pretty hand in hand with Linus over the last few years, theyve got a relationship in which Noctua wouldnt just "say no"

Hey, if they go to a keycap factory, how much more boring can you get...

Noctua didn't have the money to sponsor LTT videos, and I've spoken to their PR guy a few times, they don't come off as the people who sponsor stuff, they like to let the products speak for themselves. Notice I said PR guy - not PR team.

While they make a fair bit of money (and are subsidiary to a large company) they don't have a marketing department and spend little, if any, money on marketing.

Not saying a tour won't happen, Linus and Noctua obviously get along well and arrangements could be made.

I'd love that. Or even just a basic "lesson", giving the public an idea of how the basics of aerodynamics and how they're optimised for each use case. I know it may be a little boring, but I quote like the idea of a few more educational style videos. Like with the recent Logitech headphones style of video.

Bleigh!  Ever hear of AC series?
