Normal
I have two DAN A4 builds, one is using the Black Ridge and the other using a L9i with a duct (both using Noctua NF-A9x14 fan set as intake on both).The one big turn off for the Black Ridge is it is whinny at high speeds. It's just annoying enough (when compared to the L9i) that I am going to either swap it out with a L9i and duct or move over to Asetek 645LT AIO (I'm still investigating this option).I haven't collected any data as to which is actually running cooler, but I also prefer the L9i and duct option as it gives you a little more room to play with cable management.
