Maybe you load stuff most people do not (and his the difference due to the higher max bandwith or the drive being better otherwise ?):
For example:
Look at the gen3.0x4 970 evo plus versus the SN850-980Pro, if you do not go Optane hard to be...
With all the praise Baldur's Gate 3 received, they can still make games like that. They dove in more than even the older games did. It made the entire world a series of dice rolls where you have 0 influence on 1/2 of what went on.
No, your point is understood. It's people buying a nicer box and some accessories for 3x the price that doesn't make sense.
Is there a "premium experience" worth money in life? Yes.
But for PC fans? Lmao, no.
Agreed on the industrial fans. Only interested in their 3k model. The other noctua fans are whatever. Plenty of fish in the sea.
I do like their 5v fans for rpi/ 3d printer projects.
I couldn't care less about customer service tbh. I have never had to contact service over a fan or an air cooler. And I've bought a very large quantity of fans over the years from many different makes and models.
I bet most people buy Noctua...
There is no reason to pay the Noctua tax anymore. The new fans look interesting but they are going to be like $45 each. There are so many options that are comparable or better for significantly less now.
I love printing for being able to load up yeggi or something and see if someone made a solution to a problem I'm having. Next up is a phone grip because my thumbs are sore from holding my phone sideways for a game during the past 2 weeks.
