Newegg listing November 2nd and 3rd:

96062

Newegg listing November 4th, today:

Did Newegg sell out their known incoming quantity of boards as Pre-Orders in 48hours? OR did they simply change the purchasing status?

Who knows right?

Did anyone grab a pre-order?

Actually the Cuula Cooler is NOT a Noctua Product,.. lolScreenshot 2023-05-30 102203.jpg

 

Oh well, looks like a flawed design anyway, it doesn't look like it takes the extra large cans or bottled beer lol

You would think being made in Austria it would fit the Fosters Lager blue cans, lol

Haha, I think you might be mixing up Austria (with mountains, skiing, yodling, girls called Heidi) with Australia (lager, boomerangs, kangaroos, girls called Sheila) 🤣🤣🤣

I installed primary drive under heatsink above top X16 PCIE slot, forgot to snap a photo. 

And the EK ILM replacement, CPU installed. The ILM replacement went very smoothly. 😉

Such a beautiful component Lord Braegnok, EKWB could make a similar contact frame for my Magnitude block - if they wanted to. Anyhoo, I'll just use my already purchased TG frame, yours simply looks machined to much tighter tolerances, congrats love that contact frame. 😍

Foster's Lager, lol yea the big blue cans are HUGE 25oz vs looks like only 12oz cans for the Cuula Cooler!

Won't fit - that's what she said. 🤣🤣🤣

So the Cuula Cooler is a REAL product, but not sold by Noctua, yet Noctua parts running inside - that's Cuula! 😃

Dood, just look for the Team or Gskill 8200 2x24 kits at Newegg, they'll probably begin selling right after Computex OR middle of June. I'll keep an eye out for when they appear in stock!  😉
