I'd expect it to be pretty high: given reviews, I went with the stock Wraith Prism, and it's been fine. If I did bump up, I'd go to a Noctua, as the water cooling just seems like theater. https://www.youtube.com&#x

You think a site full of nerds is somehow not fans of animation, Star Wars, and Marvel movies? I'd contend that not one 'marketing bot' is involved at all. Disney's a monstrous company that's twisted Copyright to it

The page you link to [1] shows Go at 9th for Plaintext (87.9% of the leader), 21st for JSON (96.8% of the leader). Which is still not ideal, but is a long way from abysmal. [1] https://www.techempower.com/benchmarks/#se
