Yeah, they're very good as well.

I'm just team beige on this because of Noctua's great aftersales support which I have experienced first hand.

Noctua once sent me a new mounting kit for free (NM-A90) because I wanted to rotate my CPU cooler 90 degrees. This was way back 2014. I just sent them an email and they shipped the part to me at my PH address, no less. I believe they still continue to provide free mounting kit upgrades so you can reuse your Noctua coolers to support future CPU generations and the subsequent newer mounting configurations. I've probably transplanted my NH-U12P SE2 three times in the last 12 years.

Noctua fans (have only used the NF-P12 long-term) are also superb and over a decade later, running 24x7, are still silent, turns silky smooth... like they were new.
