  Good cooler but price/performance?

  I am a PC freak and am always interested in the latest technology. So I ordered and installed the cooler (unfortunately I had to remove the mainboard because the rear bracket didn't fit). I had to "loosen" the graphics card a bit to be able to plug in the PCIe connection. I also had to buy a PCIe extension because the cable for the graphics card and fan was about 2 cm too short. Fan does not run if PCIe is not plugged in although 4-pin was connected to mainboard. But now everything works and I have about 15° cooler than with the H60 Corsair water cooling, i.e. about 30° and at 2h Witcher 3 about 60°. So certainly good values. However, these values can also be achieved with a 60° Noctua cooler, but much quieter. The thing howls quite a bit even when hardly loaded. I have my PC on the desk and I'm quite sensitive there. I have now installed the Noctua 92mm Redux, which is much better and also cools a bit better in my opinion. more
