Hi all,

as i got my gb 980ti already, im now waiting for air 240 to be restocked in sls.
after which i will get my mitx board cpu and etc. not going oc cpu this time.
i realised that cybermind is the noctua distributor but some of the stuff are not on their pricelist.

for eg, i want to get this low profile cpu cooler.
http://www.noctua.at/main.php?lng=en&products_id=46&show=productview
Noctua NH-L12.

any other avenues or i have to buy using amazon?
anyone know if noctua is by international warranty?

i checked their web and its by rma, so most prob considered international warranty?

any other noctua fans like me?

Just two cents, if cannot find then might well just use stock CPU Cooler? Since you are not going to OC anyways.

If you are really interested to buy that particular CPU Cooler, I suggest you just go to Cybermind to ask about it when you are picking up your Air 240.

For CPU tower coolers, having warranty is as good as having none...
1, the tower themselves can never be dysfunctional. You just install and it will do its job. It is not a mechanical/electronic part which is prone to failure.

2, the fans can always be replaced if it is spoiled (unless you really want some assurance for the fans, if not I have nothing to say) and I think Noctua fans no horse run. Even if ship here knock here and knock there dont think it will spoil so easily.

For CPU tower cooler, I will look into ease of assembly rather than just pure performance. Just buy only.

When I saw the title of the thread, I still thought TS wanted to create a rig in Noctua's sh*t brown coloured theme. Sorry can't help it. Lol

If aesthetics I recco iPPC. Black. Looks a lot nicer. And I think they producing the custom coloured fan anti-vibration grommets for the ippcs.

Honestly their rigs look pleasing because it is tidy and wires are not all over the place. And they have some individually sleeved cables so it adds some points for them.

Cryorig low profile cooler looks more awesome imo.

Wa if you really managed to achieve that do post a picture of your setup. Will be an interesting inspiration for those who are thinking of buying a new rig

I think noctua black will be nice too, stealthy looking.

Don't understand why you prefer Noctua chua sai series when you already have been provided a build.

In nicer terms, Noctua's 'chua sai' fans can inspire 'earth-tones' or 'khaki camo' builds :)
