Posted March 7, 2020 So, we will finally see that the Noctua NH-D15 is the best CPU cooler? On a more serious note: Yeah, if 80 bucks for the best CPU cooler is too much for a budget, it will be great to have a resource to look up cheaper coolers. Amazing!

Posted March 7, 2020 I would jump at the chance to purchase a cpu cooler designed by TechJesus himself... $100 for a quality tower cooler from him anyday.

Posted March 10, 2020 (edited) Spoiler All other reviews of this cooler were mostly positive, I wonder if they just don't care or only saying what Corsair is telling them to say.. Tbh didn't watch all of the reviews on this, but still. Edited March 10, 2020 by noxdeouroboros Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But it performs worse than the 6 year old king of the hill as well as a recently released contemporary. What's more, the cooler sees effectively no improvement in performance past a certain fan speed while significantly increasing noise, which consumers would not test significantly and so their fan speed settings would go beyond the max effective speed since they would think that increasing the fan past 70% fan speed would actually improve temps.

Watch Jay's review of it and you can tell he knows it's crap but because he was paid by Corsair he can't say it's crap and declares that more people should buy it.

From memory Jay mostly liked the different fan mounting style, other than that I don't think he gave it high praise at all (cos price). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then I've seen Jay try to solder... with rocks and sticks. I know which 2 of those 3 I trust the most. IMO, there is one very specific circumstance where for a period of time performance may be affected by "poor" loop order. That would be a single loop system with both a CPU and GPU in the loop, where the pump pumps in to the CPU block first. In that scenario, if you're doing a combined high power usage load and heating up the water in the CPU block, before the water heat soaks, you're giving the GPU warmer water than you could be which may cause it to down clock before temperatures equalize. But even then water does not spike in temperature enough for it to be very notable unless your loop happens to equalize on the edge of a clock target.
