Alright, my CPU fan is insanely loud to the point that any time I talk on stream you can hear my computer running in the background. I've adjusted my microphone noise gate via OBS and I am still struggling to find a solution.

thought you replaced it a long time ago

No, I never got around to it 
Got any suggestions on how to make it more quiet? When i'm not watching YouTube/Twitch or using OBS it's decently quiet, but when the workload picks up it kicks on and the sound is pretty loud. It has never come close to overheating or anything and it only uses maybe 15-20% of my CPU while OBS is running.

The worst part to replace

I just hate messing with thermal paste

Yeah for me it's nothing and never was, but I guess some people have issues with the X bracket or applying even tension. Or maybe it's just the thermal paste issue? The hardest part might be laying down the heatsink over the CPU and making sure not to lift it again.
Working with custom water cooling stuff is a bitch and a half compared to anything else. Upgrading video cards is a 4-hour event for me.

The brackets for the 212 are a pain in the arse.

It can give novices trouble. The key is to not use the included instructions because they are minimal and shitty.
The biggest pain installing my liquid cooler was lining up the 8 screws through the top of the case, through the fans and into the cooler, that shite took almost an hour.

Putting my 3770k build back together for the first time in months. The power supply kicked the bucket about a year ago and I've been using my backup build since then. I probably won't have it up and running until next weekend. I haven't run it through any benckmarking software with the 780ti's running together so I'm interested to see the results.

Protip, which works for me installing triple-fan radiators: Just install two outer most screws in one fan without fully tightening them. It will leave enough slack for you to slide the next fan in between the radiator and top of the case, where you can then install one or two screws in it (again, loosely). After that, alignment is easy without having to try to hold the radiator up, keep the fans straight and flush against the top of the case, while trying to shove screws through all the holes at the same time.
