I honestly love this cooler, but I think I'm gonna move on to another one soon, it just looks... A bit to bland compared to other flaming red (literally) coolers on the market.

In my C drive users folder, there is a folder called "UpdatusUser". What is it for? Can I delete it?

Is there stuff in it?

I don't have one, so its probably from a program. Not windows or anything.

If you're really curious you could try checking the date created and see if it matches up with the date any programs were installed.
