They should ditch the obnoxious sponsor sections they do now and switch all their sponsor sections to videos like this where the sponsorship IS the content, not a distraction from the content

@@mwbgaming28 They do sometimes and I mean the sponsorships are so brief it’s not the big of an issue.

@@ijustyap regardless of how short it is, I boycott anything I see in one of those obnoxiously placed sponsor sections Make the sponsorship the content, and it will be more effective

@@mwbgaming28 I like the way they do those super obvious sponsor segues. Simply because they're unapologetic about it. Yes, sponsor segues can be a bit yuck, but most UKpostsrs do some shy stupid segue that really makes it stick out like a sore thumb. LTT, on the other hand, is like "how can we make the segue funny?", and IMO that's better than being embarrassed by it. Besides, 80+ employees do not come cheap. More to the point, sponsors prefer a small segment to a fully-sponsored video, it's better for them and better for the UKpostsr they're sponsoring.

@@BigBoiiLeem how is it better for them and the sponsor? Pretty sure if noctua sponsored this video (I'm aware they didn't, but if they did) 1: LTT would make more money 2: performance testing the build would show that noctua fans perform as advertised or possibly better, leading more people to actually buy them, making noctua more money 3: would be just as hilarious as it was without being sponsored 4: would be a bit more complicated to set up, but multiple sponsors could be used (noctua for the fans, intel could sponsor the CPU, AMD could throw in the GPU, Corsair for the PSU.etc) making LTT a shitload of money Videos where the sponsorship IS the content is always superior

It's like the ugly BMW grilles in the current generation. It's not done to look pretty, it's done so everyone knows you spent extra.

Yeah with something like this as long as your careful with your colors it definitely has the potential to have a warm wooden look to it.

I think lighting inside this PC could work, but only if it's white inside. Otherwise totally agree.

this color scheme would be good for a living room or modern office setup with big dark leather chairs and a thick classic dark wood desk/table

@@frieddayfriday 😅🤭😆🤣

the owl face with fans for eyes makes me laugh so hard lol

Yeah I think the only reason Noctua has a reputation of being "ugly" is because their style clashes so easily with most mainstream cases/parts. If you build around this style it can look great.

a prebuilt version of this will be like a playable boss

Weirdly enough, they actually seem to be working on a desk fan.

@@notthedroidsyourelookingfo4026 But it's not a dedicated desk fan iirc. It's just a mount to put an existing CPU fan on since it runs quiet anyways.

@@notthedroidsyourelookingfo4026 I am literally waiting for them to release it, because the quality of other home fans is just awful...

I’d buy one. Traditional box fans aren’t built to be quiet. I don’t know much about aerodynamics, but I’m sure Noctua could just scale up their design with a few modifications and turn out an amazing top of the line box fan. Enthusiasts would pay a premium for the novelty and they might actually find a niche market if it performed extremely well.

@@jasonberg7644 they had a small desktop fan during one of the tech shows many years back which seemed like a mount and was a 3d print pre-covid. I'm sure, like Noctua fashion, they're still taking the time to make sure it's the best goddamn mount for noctua fans lmao. I saw this from a past show either Gamers Nexus or something rather a long while back.

Completely agree. One of my favorite builds on here.

yep, gimme. Only downside is the ssd choices and silly 350 watt gpu. I never look at my pc, fine if its ugly

It does quite good!

It's my favorite build for now and probably for a long time

And most of the time, noctua heatsinks and fans perform better than most AIOs.

It was actually only 284$ 18:05

indeed

@@CesarinPillinGaming not to mention that gpu performs like a water cooled one , or at least very close.

plus avoiding the risk of liquid spill altogether.

I’ve heard him mention it on the WAN show as well. It just goes to show how rushed and careless a lot of other companies are.

I'll take quiet with RGB please. Phantek's P500A coupled with an Artic Liquid Freezer II 360 is the way to go.

my next PC will definitly be outfitted with large fans, idk if I can shove up the money for an all Noctua build, but I'm sure that there are large fans out there that are not from Noctua but just as quiet (at least I hope xD)

@@ap0kalyps3 i dont think there that expensive if your doing a build it shouldn't change your budget much

@@ap0kalyps3 Arctic P series fans are really good for the money.

Yea, brown looks especially pleasing in the toilet.

I use the black high static pressure industrial fans from Noctua for the cooling on my lasers. They're outstanding.

That is fricking awesome

Noctua fans aren’t good for 3d printers cuz low something idk

it doesn't look ugly, but it rarely mixes well with most pc builds.

True "that's what she said" moment.

If you ever get a custom wooden case, it actually looks ridiculously gorgeous

@@kartirnium DUDE!! you blew my mind, that's genius!

You mean youve never heard lmao

it looks good because the entire pc is going for the same palette

Noctua coloring is usually seen as "ugly" if you're putting something like that in an all white or black build or something. But when you make the entire build around the noctua color scheme it looks good

It gives me Famicom vibes

Brown has been unfairly treated for too long, just because of it's faecal associations! Brown is easy on the eyes but it's not depressing like grey. My blender theme is _Browntown_ and it's awesome 😁

@@aarondavis8943 I think it's more than fecal associations, but I agree with you on its unfairly treatment -and I'm not a really big fan of brown myself! My speculation is the combination with other colours matters - most likely we don't even notice it with a good combination, otherwise it sticks out, and then we go "oh, it's poop!" (but much less "Oh, it's chocolate!", so you definitely have a point!) Brown is also the colour of ground and tree trunks, but when I see the colour scheme of these Noctua fans for example, my mind doesn't go there. Neither does it go there when looking at the colours of the outside walls of the building where my apartment is - yellowish beige and brown, how I wish my mind would go to ice cream flavours, instead of bodily fluids! But even as not a great fan of brown, I still dreamt of painting the living room in shades of darker green and brown, to evoke the sense of a forest -I mean, as much as a wall paint job could evoke. So I'm personally leaning towards the combinations that matter in brown's case. Though I have to mention that my conclusions are affected by my dislike of beige. Other commentators mentioned how they like Noctua's colour scheme, and my mother loves beige on walls, so take my opinion with a grain of salt.

Also its owl colors. (kinda)

They do a great job of ensuring everyone knows what brand of fan you're using. Which no other fan can has been able to do for the most part. But if having the best fans on the market means using "ugly fans" then I'll take it

I agree. I love the Noctua color scheme. Just annoying that there's no brown colored case (unless you're looking for an aged one), so I had to spray paint my case myself and it actually fits quite well in the color scheme of my room. Only painted the outside though as my PC is sitting under my desk and the inside isn't really visible unless you try to look for it. Replaced every fan with a Noctua since i both hate noise and the excessive amount of light coming from RGB fans

Don't read my name..,

I agree I think it's really sexy too

Noctua thermal paste is specifically designed for Noctua coolers. Depending on how the contact plate is machined will change what the best thermal paste is for it, since thermal paste is built to fill microscopic gaps. So Noctua thermal paste isn’t exactly the best thermal paste on the market, its the best for Noctua coolers after factoring in things like cost, ease of production and most importantly, ease of application, because if the user fucks up applying the paste it doesn’t matter how efficient it is at transferring heat. I love Noctua too and I have this problem where I can’t stop myself from constantly wishing Noctua would replace all my fans in my life. Exhaust fans for my bathroom and kitchen annoy me so much. They are insanely loud and they die fairly frequently, considering Noctuas are designed to last at least 10 years. So many bathroom fans develop a terrible screech and stops working needing a replacement. Also, I desperately wish Noctua would make an Air purifier. Its absurd how expensive these air purifiers are when they are essentially just a fan strapped to a hepa filter in a plastic case. I just want Noctua to take a cheap and common hepa filter and slap one of their fans on it and call it a day. Not only are most air purifiers loud and high pitched, but they all tend to have insane powerdraw. Damn near every air purifier uses like 50watts of electricity, and its just a bloody fan. Only small desk purifiers that are basically using off the shelf generic computer fans will have a low usage of like 15watts. A noctua fan uses like 2watts. The only other purifier I’ve found to have anything close to a modern fan is the somewhat new Levoit 300s, which seems to do good on airflow and sound at less than 30watts. Even their older non smart version the 300, apparently uses a worse motor that does 50watts, even though both models look identical and have the same fan blade design. I feel like Noctua could easily make an air purifier for $100 that outperforms every air purifier in existence just by putting their fan in a plastic housing with a hepa filter. The unfortunate thing about Noctua is that if they ever decided to design an air purifier, they would redesign the fan and everything and take about 10 years to finally put it into production. Their desk fan has been in the works for like 6 years, and thats such a simple use case.

I have Noctua fans in my PC and not a single one of them is brown and tan. I refused to use those colors!

You can hear anyone who doesn't care about fans from across the room

slapped a fat noctua cooler on my first pc build 12? years ago overclocked from 2,1 ghz to 3,9 or smtg like that (was a xeon so just reduced tact) and most of the time passive cooling was already enough thats when i fell in love:D

/r/buyitforlife

Well you cant because it is just waaaay too thicc xD It would protrude right trough the glas

@@maxdergroe9082 It fits in an sff case - Cooler Master NR200P Max, vertically mounted.

It's because the noctua colors always stand out and look off because nothing matches with their colors except their colors lol. This pc is one of the prettiest in my opinion and I love the noctua color scheme but it doesn't look good with other colors

...but 4 slot heigh, bruh.....

It looks like a DIY solution. Obviously good craftmanship. But Noctua just said "ok let's use our standard fans no matter how thick they are", slapped a cover on them and that's it. Thick as fuck card. Anyone could do good cooling solutions if size wasn't a constrain. next step: 7 slot card

Yeah it does.

Ya it look good

@@RelentlessOhiox Your opinion=Irrelevant

looks pretty nice compared to plain black

It doesn’t look ugly, just wish the entire case and all the parts were the same colors. Then it would just look Legendary!!

That's the case for like everything. A good result just needs its time.

"Perfect is the enemy of good." Some engineers will never launch a product because they can always see a way to improve it.

i respect your PFP from one SS fan to another

@@d3lsl0w Maybe, but the more time you give the engineer, the better it will be. Sure, it will never be perfect, but that doesn't mean you should just rush out something mediocre. And you can always just release newer versions as the engineer improves the design further.

There's a limit. When you say it takes you two years to switch the colors from cream/brown to black, like Noctua claimed for their Cromax line, it becomes borderline insulting to your customers.

I was so heartbroken there wasn't a 3060 ti version 😔

@@electronics-girl The fan in Dad's laptop failed and I took it to U Break I Fix in Tempe, Arizona asking how much to replace it. The manager asked "Are you using an external cooler?

laser engraving the noctua owl into the glass would've been awesome

Awesome, but risky as it is 1 shot to get everything dialed perfectly and the glass is technically weaker by having the material removed. Another possible takeaway is that that panel technically could not be used for future builds unless it is Noctua themed(color could be gotten away with or resprayed). I am also thinking they had a deadline for this build so there is another possible reason why they didn’t include it(though another factor could just be aesthetics and they felt simpler is better). Good to see more ideas being churned in this community and it gives me myself some of my own should I get back to the custom PC builds.

@@Pr1malWereHouse An option to still get the look without the risk is getting a vinyl stencil cut (they have the tools for it already AFAIK) and just fake it with some matt clear varnish. Easy to remove later as well :) Time is still a big factor though of course.

one of those Thermaltake P series cases, the wall mounted with the open chassis and glass panel, would be perfect for something like that. no worries with smushing the GPU fans against a side panel, just lots of room to breathe and show off the brownness

Yes true the owl is dope.

The case is giving me X-wing pilot vibes

For me the Noctua color scheme looks like milk chocolate and white chocolate And I like it, it looks more original and interesting than just a black cooler fan

same it just indicates its quality to me

Agreed!

04:22 You call this quiet? It sounds like a chainsaw!

Those leaked 4000 series wattages will make Noctua a lot of money.

There's not a GPU with Phantecs T30 yet which is the most powerful 120mm consumer fan. The arctic P12 slightly cooler, but the until arctic fixes the 1000 RPM hum on their P12 and 140mm i'm with the TT toughfan 120. Which is like the Noctua 120mm.

@@JT4GM4K3R Yes, that hum from the regular P12/14 is extremely annoying. Arctic also has argb P12 fans wich feature a slightly different design that does away with that hum.
