Dont have buyers remorse coz everyone can have their own opinion. previously i stuck during athlon xp era. go to lowyat, buy one by one parts. assemble by myself. now technology changing so fast. luckily have many shops that do desktop customization

QUOTE(babylon52281 @ Nov 26 2025, 01:59 AM) Your right, its a good competent cooler and it is still premium brand. Just that in terms of performance other cheaper brands has caught up, NH-U12A is single tower so it will lose cooling vs dual towers like PA120 but its lighter (less sag) and has much better tall RAM compatibility so as long as it can keep that 9800x3d within temps (and it does!) you dont have to sweat paying more for it as theres pros & cons. noctua eventhough single tower, but it have total 14 heatpipes with 2 backup fans. PA120 dual tower and has total 12 heatpipes. haha. previously i also compared both brand. but decided to choose noctua my early build pc i use thermaltake sonic tower. fanless cooling tower for my athlon

QUOTE(xxboxx @ Nov 25 2025, 09:17 PM) Seconded on Thermalright, I got Peerless Assassin last year when my AIO decided to die and was pleasantly surprised that it's good cooling even on sustained workload. how long your AIO survive? nowadays many brands offered AIO type. i decided not to have AIO since it is involving in pumps, cooling liquid, radiator, etc. its prone to fails and expensive replacement

QUOTE(TristanX @ Nov 25 2025, 06:33 PM) Not with current price. Only good hardware without the performance to back it up. https://www.noctua.at/en/expertise/guides/n...formance-ratingAbout NH-D15S performance which is less performance than NH-D15 G1. Thermalright Royal Pretor 130 review (around RM190-200) : https://www.tomshardware.com/pc-components/...or-130-review/2Also, Phison E31T controller from that SSD is DRAMless crap too. with this current price, whats your preferred build? mind to share? also can explain more about phison E31T? DRAMless? i so confuse with current technology term. haha
