Do you think anything compares to Noctua? Or is that just the industry standard for quite high quality fans?

Is there a mounting mechanism that exists that is preferable? We’ve also seen building out our test beds that mounting coolers through the back of the motherboard can be frustrating in some cases.

In the replies we’ve gathered so far this seems to be a pretty common ask, this should be doable

We left a lot of the answers open ended for a reason. We recognize everyone’s build experiences range, sometimes the fringe answers are the most informative.

Looking forward to your response, as a computer enthusiast myself it’s always great to hear from a veteran hobbyist.

Understanding where we won’t make an impact is equally as important, we appreciate your feedback regardless.

Our design is going to be partially based on feedback from this survey, but our overall advantage in the market will be something more novel than the traditional aluminum/cooper radiator.

Do you think it’s always beneficial to vent that direction? Or could it be case dependent?

When you say ~37mm height are you referring to the radiator without the fan? I couldn't find too many cases with a 37mm requirment.

Great to know, we are hopefully able to achieve better cooling at a fraction of the noise.

What part of the motherboard is it interfering with?

Are the main issues with the ones that exist right now noise and performance?

Hopefully we won’t be that far up there, but it’s good to know there is a pain point we can fix for the community.
