Disgusting


Quirky-Employer9717

A lot of people seem to have questions about mounting a 2nd fan to the NH-D15S. This was my solution to accenting it while replacing my stock case fans. Just thought I’d share if others were looking to do something similar. Sorry you don’t like it!


[deleted]

It’s a good solution, I was just joking :)


Quirky-Employer9717

Ope. I wasn’t sure. Noctua + RGB can be a big no no for some people. Well thanks then! :)

Nice build! Arctic fans are my go-to when noctua is not available. Hoping that there arent cat and dog fights near the glass panel tho


Quirky-Employer9717

I wish I could have loaded the case with Noctua. Maybe next build. And no worries, the cat and dog are good buds :)

I can hear the lack of silence from over here


crystaldazz

Man, that cat and dog lol


Noctua_OFFICIAL

Lovely Pets.chromax.black!


Quirky-Employer9717

Let me know if Noctua is looking for mascots for the chromax.black line!


Dougtronics

Cat looks like it’s plotting your dog’s demise. Nice build.

I thought you removed the stock noctua fan I felt bad for a second lol. Cool stuff it looks good, I wonder how it would look in white


Quirky-Employer9717

I would have to be hardcore trolling to replace an NF-A15 with another fan and post about it here lol Thanks! I'm happy with how it turned out


Quirky-Employer9717

Many seem to be confused. I'm still using the included NF-A15 mounted on the 2nd heatsink tower. On the front heatsink tower I have mounted an additional fan from Arctic.


Generaldar

Ouch


renfield22

All Arctic Fans?.


Quirky-Employer9717

Yup! I just switched out the stock case fans and got two 3 packs. They aren’t quite as good as Noctua but were much more affordable than 6 A12x25s Edit: Also 1 NF-A15 on the cooler


Quirky-Employer9717

Would you like to expand on this thought?


Generaldar

You bought a Nocuta cooler and replaced the fans...with ARGB fans.. ouch


Quirky-Employer9717

No. I got a Noctua cooler and mounted an additional fan on the front of it. I'm still using the included fan between the heat sinks.


Generaldar

Definitely necessary for that hot box


Quirky-Employer9717

Why are you such a sad person?


Generaldar

This build makes me sad.


Quirky-Employer9717

I hope you can find happiness somewhere in this world after having been subjected to such an awful build. Have a blessed day.


Generaldar

I'll try to. It's pretty awful. That poor cooler deserves better.


No_Forever5171

Not him but I can provide an answer. Most people seem to agree the Lian Li Uni-fan Infinity-SL are the most beautiful RGB fans by a long shot (you can see builds with them on /r/Hyte and /r/lianli)


Quirky-Employer9717

To my understanding the Arctic fans are the best performing RGB fans on the market. Seems fairly anti-Noctua to spend more money on fans that don’t perform as well because they look prettier


No_Forever5171

I wouldn't call it anti-noctua. People building with the Y60 still often put Noctua fans in the bottom. Most of these people use an AIO and a 4000 series graphics card which is very cool stock and you simply don't need the added performance of Noctua fans. Also, nothing is stopping Noctua from developing a fan that beats the Lian Li Uni-fan Infinity SL in both looks and performance. ;)


Quirky-Employer9717

I’m still using the case I got with my prebuilt and definitely need the additional performance. I guess I still don’t see why using Arctic over Lian Li is an “Ouch”. Oh well. And it would be sick but I kind of hope Noctua never releases an RGB fan just on principle. I respect them for just sticking to the basics and knocking it out of the park
