Read Duality92's review on that cooler to get an idea why he is going to use it. I would consider putting it my new build instead of the Noctua NH-D15s I already have if it wasn't for the fact I would lose my top PCI-e slot.

Already did before posting here, posted my opinion of it in the comments below.
Going from your D15S to the HEX2.0 would be a side grade at best, and most definitely louder. The compatibility issues with the HEX just makes it even more of an odd product, the only place it really makes sense is in SFF builds but it blocks the fist pcie slot on most motherboards, I guess you could make it work with back to front airflow in some cases, but really?
It might make some sense in some extremely niche application, but it just seems like a really tough to justify product to me.

Also because it's compact and I love the aesthetics of it. It's not overwhelmingly big like its performance rivals.
Just a slightly educated guess, could be wrong , but I think my guess is pretty solid.
Fair enough, its does look pretty nice, and leaves a lot of the motherboard exposed. I'm personally quite fond of big air coolers, but I definitely see where you're coming from.
think i am really going to enjoy this one too. i have the gskill ripjaw 780 keyboard and mouse. i use the m1 (memory 1) for the division and the 2 for ghost recon wildlands, still need more lighting on my rig though.
