The reason the zalman solution got shut down, was because of the attitude of the original poster mainly. He was a bit of a worry, to be honest. Stubborn, opinionated, unable to see the other side, etc etc

Procooling means, imo, talk straight, find the best solution, research (outside or inside the standard cooling square) and share results. Its not a standard 'what should i buy' or 'how come this isnt working' or 'has anyone tried xxx product' forum. Questions dont get repeated that often, due to the low traffic.

I fail to see why a seperate section is needed for it. If keeping something at stock speed cool is the aim, aircooling does that pretty well, and cheaper (as said).

As for balancing the 4 major criteria (price, performance, noise level, space requirements), that can be done in the sections we have here.

What stops you getting the best performance?
The other criteria, of course. That, and a lack of research, or whatever.

compromise for other components shouldnt be called 'low end cooling'; its compromised cooling (be it silent/quiet cooling, budget cooling, or space restricted cooling). Doesnt make it low end.
