Yeah i said that weirdly. A fan pretty much needs to replace the air around the heatsink and help it do its convection cooling. A noctua fan is nice because it’s quiet but i really don’t see the need for one fan over another besides having sound in mind, as long as you have a good heatsink. That one looks awesome btw

Exactly, I was trying to show that your fan will run basically silent on stock settings with the stock fan if you upgrade the heatsink :)
