Looks interesting. But it will be a tough sell over a $20.99 Deepcool GAMMAXX 400. 😉

not really.
anyone that used artic before knows it will be silent on low/med load,
and its heatsink is thicker, so should perform the same.
Outside that the Deepcool is a 6y old design (AM4 anyone),
and only gets 2y warranty (vs 6y) probably because of the lower grade bearing,
potentially failing sooner and most likely noisier (sooner).

I never liked that clunky piece of plastic and fans on their coolers, but they were cheap, much, much better than box cooler..

terrible idea to have a nonstandard fan, once they break (and arctic fans are trash that fails quickly), your solution will be zipties :/

right, that's why all their fans have 5/6y, some even 10y warranty (other brands you know?).
I use arctic stuff for 20y now, no problems with anything, actually are quieter than many other brands after a few years, as they dont get dirty bearings.
Provide some (global) numbers for product failure/rma, being higher than others in similar price range, that support that a non standard fan is a bad.

It would be interesting to see a side by side comparison test between the two. I'm pretty confident the Deepcool would come out on top.
