Intel Box Cooler vs. AMD Wraith Series

[mbk34]

Intel coolers are nearly unusable on most of their cpus and in most use case scenarios. The cost to them vs the cost to us for them including what most will never use is a metric I'd be very interested to see.

I was quite happy with the cooler that came with my i5 3570K. When not overclocked you couldn't hear the fans at all. I always wanted to try water cooling so I installed a H60 (gen 1) system and now I have to listen to the constant low hum from its fan.

You are supposed to focus on the word "nearly" and overlook "most use case scenarios". I have no idea what that means but that is what I was told. Forget the fact that the overly vast majority of pc users never overclock their cpu's, run burn-in benchmarks or install performance desktop cpu's into mini itx cases where voltage may be limited. That makes the statement you quoted simply not true.

My mistake, sorry

I meant the statement you quoted was wrong not yours.

Most people don't overclock so your word nearly is highly inflated.

Bingo...I don't think that poster's use of the word means what they think it means.
