APH Networks: Noctua NH-L12Sx77 Review
Growing up, our family had four dogs at our home. This included two large Labradors, a Jack Russell, and a Dachshund. These dogs were tons of fun. The Labradors were obviously outdoor dogs, since having a dog that size indoors would be a pain, while the smaller ones could go in and out as they pleased. They were all fed in the same place, and we were starting to have some behavior issues. We also wanted to introduce a new puppy at a certain time. One thing to be aware of is that if you already have a few dogs, the new one can be rejected. We had to make sure the dogs would get used to the puppy without hurting it. My parents decided to hire a professional dog trainer to come in and help out with this process. This trainer came in and spent some time with the dogs, and afterwards gave us a bit of a debrief about how they interacted with each other. This was interesting, particularly since the trainer said that the smallest dog, our Dachshund, was the alpha of the pack. Now, I do not know how the trainer figured this out, but we did not believe it. Apparently, even though this dog was so small, she was mighty in her influence. We have these ideas often of the underdog -- literally, in this case -- who is able to beat the odds and actually be the strongest. It is in stories all over the world, but is it true in the tech world? Do we have small but mighty products? Today, we have the Noctua NH-L12Sx77, a small but potentially mighty air cooler. Read on to find out how it performs!
