Noctua coolers are already pretty expensive and not the pinnacle of cooling tech any more. If they went up in price, I think people would just go with a different brand. Like Thermalright, which “borrows” from Noctua’s designs but are a fraction of the cost. You can even get them in that ugly brown and off white color scheme.
Getting Doom to run on just 3 coolers would be pretty awesome, tho.



All but the cheapest fans these days are buyitforlife material. The only thing really gonna fuck up a modern fan is epic amounts of dust binding up the ball bearings. And many fans these days use a newer magnetic type system where there isn’t even any physical contact being made to wear anything down.
