What was the problem with fans? These are decent fans, just the sticker wobble is freaking insane. Like 2x cheaper fans have stickers applied with sub-milimeter precision, and corsair just shoots the stickers on from 2 meters away with their eyes closed. I CAN'T UNDERSTAND it. they look shit, because of the wobble.

 

Even in this video, on the 2 fans next to linus the wobble is clearly visible.

Im considering selling my corsair fans, and just getting bequiet's, or even noctuas...

I only see your reply if you @ me.

Then i can't resell them and buy noctuas (which are a lot cheaper) instead. But i removed one sticker which was so badly mounted that it gave it made me slightly sick while looking at it.

Why did Corsair use an AIO to cool a locked CPU? Because they don't make HSF coolers.  To keep the price down Corsair needs to use most of their own parts in manufacturing.  Same business model as NZXT and their BLD line.

As I said:
The main reason Corsair put a non K CPU in this system is obvious. Someone that were to overclock their PC wouldn't buy a pre-built.

Prices is of January 17 2019. 

 

Or they did a video that have hardware and already filmed material from "mystery shopper" from the future in 2017.....

 

I know what I think is more likely ?
