Noctua is my most trusted CPU cooling solution! (I use it to cool off my beast 6600K oc'd to 4.5GHz)

Fuck liquid cooling ... (I don't like the idea of solution potentially getting on my compnents.)

I paid a hundred bucks for their top tier and don't regret it ...

Liquid coolers are a valid option and puts a lot less stress on your motherboard. There are air coolers that weight over 1Kg, without fans.

I kinda expect my expensive mainboard to be able to handle 1-2kg that's safely secured and distributes its weight over 4 screws.

I'm not afraid of water in my PC but it seems such a hassle for practically no gain over a big tower cooler.
