    This is exactly what I needed! An adjustable cooling fan which you can attach on your motherboard! I'll use this in combination with #CHENBO 3PCS Raspberry Pi Copper Cooling Heat Sinks to cool my future #Samsung SSD Pro 950. Man, there's so much thought going into my future build, it's ridiculous. But at an estimated cost of €2200 it's important to get everything right.

      Editing … I want a cool, quiet PC. That strikes me as more modern and I think I'd want that even more than having good graphics. The paradox is that fans produce noise. Heat sinks seem neat for that reason. But the amount of cooling options is overwhelming to me. You can put fans literally anywhere it seems and there's seemingly no upward limit on how many fans you can have. P.s. ssds need to be cooled? damn..

      Editing … The Samsung Pro 950 actually doesn't need cooling because it has a sensor which throttles the SSD speed if it gets too hot but I want to keep all my components cool (which might also increase their lifetime). The new M.2 SSDs tend to get hotter than "normal" SSDs so appropriate airflow is recommended. And yeah, the cooling options really are overwhelming. There's custom water cooling, AIO water cooling, air cooling, peltier and phase change and what not. I'll just go with high-end air cooling in my build. It's cheaper, safer and provides the same performance as an AIO water cooling thingy. And it's easier to clean. I have an air compressor at home and simply blow the dust out of my system once a year.

      Editing … I'm all for increasing the lifetime of my parts. If you know what I mean.

      Editing … The case, CPU, and GPU all come with fans and the PSU does too I think. So I guess I don't have to worry about getting any extra cooling. How could all those fans not be enough?

      Editing … Actually, that is enough. If you don't overclock and don't have high-end components, the cooling fans and stuff that comes with your PC are more than enough. There are higher quality fans though that you may consider since they may be less noisy than the stock fans. Just assemble everything with your stock fans and if you feel that the fans are too loud or don't cool your components well enough, buy some high-quality fans and replace them.
