The Dark Rock Pro 3 was $60 on Newegg during Black Friday.

I still don't fully understand your point? Do you want OP to travel back in time and buy the DRP3 (which I personally love) or to wait nearly a year for another Black Friday?

I have no point, I am just stating a fact. If they wait a little while, they can maybe get one of those Newegg emails with 48-hour sales.

Personally I hate that price zone for CPU cooling, between $30 and $70 feels like a vacuum of not getting much more for your money at all.

 

If you have access to decently priced Raijintek coolers, look them up but I doubt they've reached their intended pricing in NA yet as NCIX have been flogging their monopoly on them.

In case the moderators do not ban me as requested, this is a notice that I have left and am not coming back.

IMO, that's the perfect price zone when it comes to USD. See below.

There are gems like the Kotetsu: http://pcpartpicker.com/part/scythe-cpu-cooler-scktt1000
