Please add higher TDPs to your cooler reviews.
Currently the cooler reviews on HardOCP use a standard test system. This is an excellent baseline but fails to answer the basic question, "How well will this cooler cool my current CPU or the CPU I am thinking of buying?" Or indeed GPU for the AIO coolers. CPUs can have TDPs of 165W or more for the high end Xeon processors - and there are those here who use them - and GPUs can consume 250W or more.
So, when testing a cooler, please additionally test it at the maximum TDP of CPUs, and for AIO coolers, please test them with GPUs.
This addition would make the reviews much more helpful and useful.
