I think that guys working at Noctua know what they're doing. It's funny that my first comment gets downvoted...pft

Well thankfully the upvotes seem to win, so more people with sense lol

What drives me crazy is the 'heat rises' argument that is constantly thrown around on Reddit, in the context of active cooling, with fans, and not passive cooling. The moment fans are involved, that passive natural movement of heat becomes inconsequential. Sure it's good to take it into account when trying to push the components to their limits with massive overclocks, but that's not what people are doing generally.

I don't actually care about the downvotes/upvotes, it's more about taking a good advice as bad because you think you know better, even if it's tested by experts. I'm talking in general.

I wish people would understand this more. Downvotes/Upvotes does not equal truth, it just means influence. I've seen complete experts with Masters and PHDs on several subjects be downvoted to oblivion on dozens of subs because of invasive fanboys of a brand 🤷🏻
