It cost me nothing because I did not need to buy a new one each time.

So what should a cooler in this category should have Costed in 2015 for you?

You keep rambling about premium but do not define what that means for you.

The “premium” you are talking about were 60€ in 2015. It survived 3 builds until now, pretty good deal. If you need pretty LEDs and fancy colours you can always choose a competitor.

I have been rocking the same noctua fan/cooler fan for +10 years.

If you still have the receipt they send you adapter kits for new processors for free.

The current regime makes politics for old people, dances around “difficult questions” and acts surprised if they are called out for it; For one, only men get draftet, but this is okay, because of reasons; In the past you could aquire stuff like drivers licences or certificates when you did your mandatory service; Now you get nothing, only wasted time;
