I am sorry to hear that your not satisfied with the cooler. I might be deaf or something because I don't hear anything ever in my build...

It' going to sound noisy when its less than 2ft from my ears and not covered, when its parked behind a 42" TV mounted to an adjustable arm against the wall, it won't be an issue.

I also may of found a contender for the front USB C, which, correct me if I'm wrong, is also TB3.
