Lets back up a minute. I'm making up a story simply because I explained my take on products? (after owning a considerably amount from many different companies?)because you're making up a story about nothing?
It still seems like people are reading what I said and taking it as some "You all are wrong, Noctua is the best". Meanwhile, its the furthest from the truth, I haven't spent money on one of their products in 3-4 years and likely never will again, what they offer isn't important to me especially given what I can get elsewhere for a fraction of the price.
However, and this is the part people are struggling with, my first hand experience tells me all the surrounding metrics on some of their products are better. I'm not going to repeat myself again for no reason as I explained it above but if you only took "They have a better box" then I'm sorry.
One can recognize positive attributes and make the decision that they don't matter to them at the same time, FYI.
