NH-D9L "AF" Review

Pinch, punch, first day of the month... no returns! Can't think of anything else you'd do on this day... But turns out I've got this review ready to publish! What a coincidence... probably.

Also, April Fools :) Hope you liked this one! I didn't want to make it too obvious, and I would have loved to straight face this one all the way through the video. But Noctua is a well respected company, and lord do they have fan-boys/girls (don't they all) that might get overly "hyped" for a new cooler like this. Maybe one or two might see the excuses I made for the mess that is my sat-on D9L as "really good design" and start defending Noctua over their "design decisions", which actually turn out to be the design process of my bum...

Nice. The SFF community will love this, they're always looking for more optimal airflow paths. I'm not going to lie, I fell for this one HARD 😭

[@AVTechy]

Haha, well I'm glad I put in a disclaimer just in case. I wouldn't want people getting mad at Noctua for the delays to their "latest" cooler design 😆 Glad we had some fun at the expense of my poor decision making abilities 😅

Nice work, had me going! 'AF' in the name was a nice touch

[@dotms5195]

Love the joke and appreciate the effort you put in!

[@WoodaN]

Awesome one. Next cooler to test should be the NH-D15S AF

[@AVTechy]

Not sure I can afford the AF version of that 😂

[@PXLgeneratorDE]

Excellent job 😂👍

[@qT_p13]

Worth the effort.. keep it 💯

[@ferdinandbardamu3945]

Insane. Ferrari level. They should put a touchscreen on it.

[@Juergen_des_Aufstiegs]

If you are so surprised at first and really believe that the cooler is real and then look on the internet and can't find anything. Very good joke, when I looked at the date I got it 😂😅😁

G'day AV, Looks like someone "Pinch some fins, punch one Tower, first day of the month... no returns!" with that Cooler 😂 plus... for those fooled AF stands for 🤦‍♂️AH F!

[@AVTechy]

Aww, that's a good one. I should have worked that into the script! 😁
