Check out my first novel, midnight's simulacra!
Noctua
Noctua of Austria makes some boss-ass fans and tower coolers. When I first saw the magnificent NH-D15 chromax.black in 2019, I wept. I have used Noctua tower coolers and fans for all my builds since 2011. They have no peer in air cooling, and can hold their own with smaller liquid cooling solutions.
"Beherrscht dich ein Gedanke, so findest du ihn überall ausgedrückt, du riechst ihn sogar im Winde." (If you are possessed by an idea, you find it expressed everywhere.)—Thomas Mann, Tonio Kröger (1901)
NA-SAVP1 anti-vibration corner pads come in various colors, and can be swapped. Round form factors are wider than their nominal size (150mm vs 140mm) with the mounting holes of a smaller form factor (120mm vs 140mm), and intended for use on tower coolers.
