Thermaltake's entire business model is stealing designs

[@theMaster...]

Noctua had a LONG time to deliver black fans, so it's hard to have sympathy for them at this stage...

[@danohaffey4205]

I mean if ur gonna copy someone's homework pick the smartest kid in the class

[@poot111111]

This is what happens when Noctua doesn't respond to the market in time, someone will come along and eat your very well made lunch.

[@sakkidis]

Fingers crossed , noctua rushes to release black Noctua A12x25

[@muhammadzinc5228]

Now watch Noctua release a black color fan in span of weeks after mauling over it for years :)

[@dazeen9591]

You know, Noctua copied their design first so if you use that logic, you shouldn't support Noctua either.

[@Chopper153]

Just like Noctua copied Nidec gentle typhoon. Don't understand why everyone's a Noctua fanboy even though they copy from others

[@_Anson_Chan_]

I mean "take" is written in their name 🤷‍♂️

[@ffwast]

Is there any reason they shouldn't? Noctua already copied it from gentle typhoons. It's a good design, more on the market is a good thing.

[@chairs-dimension]

Maybe Thermaltake can take another page out of Noctua's book and copy their good QC and customer service as well as copying their products.

In Taiwan, there’s a saying that “buying from TT (thermaltake) will cause you to T.T (resembles a crying emoji)”. Sums up how infamous thermaltake is

[@vjn5270]

The biggest thing that stands out is the difference in expected lifetime and the warranty. Whereas the Toughfan is only rated to last 40,000 hours, Noctua’s spinner is rated to almost a four-fold of that, and it comes with an impressive six-year warranty. It’s clearly a fan that’s intended to last a few builds.

Thermaltake: can I copy your homework?

[@suprltve]

thermalTake designs from other companies

[@CarthagoMike]

As we Dutch say: "Better to properly steal something than to design it badly."

[@TechLevelUpOfficial]

i actually remember commenting on their FB post when they revealed this and said hey if you can't beat em copy them lmao

[@SuperAlfablue]

thermaltake doing what they do best

[@KAAAARP]

That small difference at 1000rpm is actually what kills these thermaltakes. That rattling is what annoys people way more than anything.

[@Kritya]

Thermaltake have a C&D department instead of an R&D department.
