a. What is the most important feature in a CPU cooler? The cooling ability/noise ratio is important, also aesthetics can be a factor as well
b. What do you like most about the Vantage ALC (as seen in the video)? I like the fact that for a water cooling solution, it is very user friendly. I like the ability to change the settings on the fly for the system, the fact that it has a "brain" as the video says sums it up well.
c. What resources do you typically use to research CPU coolers when trying to make a decision on which one to buy (i.e. this website, magazines, friends and family, manufacturers website, etc.)? thebestcasescenario.com, cnet.com, and user reviews on such sites as newegg.com, amazon.com, among others.
