And also their shizz lasts forever, so price over time is honestly cheaper than a cheap cooler.

@@G91YS Yeah i've actually got a Deepcool Gammax 300 that isn't doing so well and this started right after warranty ran out. The fan isn't spinning smoothly any longer. There is no oil hole in the fan motor, and the fan is proprietary can't truly replace it with something else, it's got a nonstandard mount pattern. The heatsink also relies on a 120mm fan with an integrated funnel to channel it into a smaller 100mm-ish heatsink.

[@grove9373]

I bought a Lian Li SFX 850W PSU and the stock fan was so loud at times, that i thought my PC was overheating or something like that. It took me a while to realize that it was the PSU, but after i figured that out, i ofcourse searched online for the same issue and found a guy who did just that on reddit. Ordered the fan (wrong one the first time, it had to be 14mm thick.) and installed it by cutting the stock fan in the middle of its wire and cut the noctua's molex adapter wire from the middle and put them together by using e-tape and zipties. I was so worried that it wouldn't turn on at all and overheat my PSU, and i had no way to know during boot, since the PSU only spun up when over 60c. But it worked!

Nocuta's long term support reminds me of Asetek's customer support in the AlthonXP days. I bought one of their blocks second hand at a carboot sale but the acrylic was full of hairline cracks, sent them an email and they shipped a replacement with fittings, a spread of fine sandpaper from 400-2000grit, (it was around the era of the "lapping" craze) along with some thermal pads and several sheets of branded stickers for free! If they hadn't gone all in on patent restricting AOIs and holding the industry back by decades, they would have won a customer for life with that interaction!

I replaced my built-in power supply fan with a noctua one, didn't die, didn't burn, winning

[@venumV2]

I think the only way that it makes sense for noctua to continue to optimize for dye area, is to have early samples of where the hotspots are, and not reviewer early sample, cause they would need more time than reviewer samples. But if they did get early samples, they could just start selling the heatsinks as an interchangeable unit from the rest of the cooler, making it kind of similar to a subscription model for enthusiasts. Alongside a specific built heatsink for a specific CPU, they could also sell a general use heatsink, that instead of being optimized for a CPU, its generally good across a spectrum of CPUs. Also the desk fans are great, especially if you have old fans laying around, great way to reuse a product (Remember the 3 Rs)

[@Grandwigg]

Yep. Reduce and Reuse often get forgotten, and many places, Recycle is often a lie or way to complicated for things with composite construction or food residue.

[@ExtremePilot4472]

Everyone is complaining about the cost of the desk fan but I can see its use in lots of places away from the desk. The first thing I keep thinking of is those little fans they have for the driver on coach busses, trucks, farm equipment, etc., where it makes sense to have a durable, robust fan that focuses it's airflow to one location, and where a big company would be able to afford to install the fans in their fleet a lot more readily.

[@AristotelesQC]

That's why they actually named it a "multi purpose" fan kit, nowhere is it marketed purely as a desk fan!

[@RyuFelinshire]

Part of the complaining is more at the power supply included with the product being valued at 30 dollars, when it probably costs them maybe 2 dollars in bulk orders.

[@noonenoesbutme]

As a mechanical engineer who happens to design custom coolers for our products, I loved this video. Also, a fans ability to overcome 'back pressure' is its static air pressure rating and makes a mountain of difference of the performance of the fan in confided spaces. SFF PCs MUST have fans with high static air pressure values. My gaming SFF is the size of a lunchbox and fits in a backback. It holds a 12th gen i5 paired to a RTX 3080 with no thermal throttle :)

Yooo that's awesome! So fun fact; thermosyphons and pumpless refrigeration is very prevalent in industrial applications in ammonia! The orientation will be super important, but essentially the refrigerant heats up on the CPU and turns into a gas, the gas feeds into the fan coils at the top of the radiator on the GPU (from what I see), condenses into a liquid filling the thermosyphon and then overflowing into the reservoir on top of the cpu! It makes sense! It would only take a very minimal amount of charge, and you could theoretically refill a depleted system (once leaks are corrected) with refrigerant you use on your car! I almost want to make one myself!

I actually would like it if Noctua would come out with 38mm depth fans across their product stack. I like buying old server gear for my home lab but the fans on those are designed for datacenter use where noise doesn't matter and where the server is expected to be both at 100% utilization the whole time and where it is packed next to a bunch of other servers also pumping out heat. I throw in noctua fans right now to bring the noise levels under control but I do worry if the chassis have enough static pressure to actually cool the system and I don't even bother with coolers and GPUs that are fanless because they expect to be cooled by the case fans pushing air across them.

Linus you are on stage at the Computex 2024, making videos at location with the same kind of sens humor and editing. I like it, it's surprising!

[@jm20105]

thanks! I was trying to design my own fan shroud, didn't know they made the blueprint avail. They've got all my business now...

Linus: "They stole my idea" Also Linus: "I got rejected because they were already working on it"

[@quantumforce4791]

RIP Beardless Linus, he will be missed.

Always refreshing to hear of a company doing great consumer friendly work with great products to match.

[@Artista_Frustrado]

between the PSU & all the wooden cases i'm glad we're finally catching up to the Noctua Asthetic

[@thexgamer8240]

Noctua: *Backstabbed Linus and stole his idea* Linus: *'Tis but a scratch.* Also, he got his "Vision" from Chief Vision Officer stolen by Noctua.

This power supply comes under the don't let your memes be dreams category.

[@ralphmcmahan2139]

the rubber mount gives me the fizzes and I need it now, my subwoofer amps cook

[@sam_the_penguin_man]

They wanted to do this all along, just without Linus

[@NotJohnnyTamale]

Sounds like a skill issue

[@ugurugutugu]

Best power supply manufacturer with best fan manufacturer...what a sweet colab

[@johnlarue2213]

I love the relationship Linus has with good partners like Noctua and Seasonic! Makes the community fun!
