Can you post some links to these products? Do you recommend getting them from Amazon or a better seller?
The gammax is a no name knockoff of this very product, which is at an historically low price IIRC. The non-v2 versions of both coolers, which you are conflating with this deal, have an abysmal mounting mechanism and far worse fans, and RAM clearance issues. The Vetroo, another brand no one has heard of, has annoying RGB lights that can't be disabled.
So yeah, you have no idea what you're talking about. If you want Chinese knockoffs, then you can use that logic in every Slickdeals thread and then every thread would be a link to AliExpress.

I recently helped a buddy put together a PC and he opted for the vetroo. The installation wasn't difficult and he chose to not plug in the rgb cord into his header; easy peasy if no lighting is preferable. I didn't do any testing on the vetroo, but during stress-testing, it seemed adequate but not overly impressive. Seemed like an OK value; however, I'd be excited to see a reputable YouTube channel vet the vetroo. I couldn't tell you how it stacks up to the competition, and that's a worthwhile thing.

The Vetro was already vetted 3 weeks ago with a positive review: https://youtu.be/2LDz-uDKoJo
My own personal experience with the Vetroo is BAD and I would not recommend.
The cooling performance is good - more than enough for a 3600 - I don't have equipment to compare with but it seemed to match a previous Hyper 212 I had, and it has nice RGB and a solid build to boot.
My gripe with Vetroo is that I had difficulty mounting it - seemed like some tolerance issues and I need to use a lot more force than I was comfortable with to get the screw holes to line up properly (it was like... half a millimeter off). So this makes me question the longevity of my mount since I had to put a lot of rotational tension on it to get it screwed in. I probably should have aborted the build but I was deep in the weeds and didn't want to go through the return process.
Because of that, if I had to do it all over again I'd stick with Cooler Master.

Hmm. His testing methodologies weren't precisely scientific

If you want to put no name parts on your CPU, go for it. The fan on the 212 V2 is worth a lot more than the fans on the coolers you mention. Again, you can use your logic on every SD thread, and then the entire site would be links to AliExpress

It is made by DEEPCOOL. That's the same DEEPCOOL that makes the DEEPCOOL Assassin III, which has tested as the best air cooler on the market by many enthusiast publications, beating out the other big names like Noctua, BeQuiet!, Cooler Master, etc. It even beats out many AIO liquid coolers, even 360mm AIOs.
Fact is, unfortunately nearly all of this stuff is made in China. A lot of the time, the same factory complexes making the big name products are the same ones making the lesser name products with the same machinery, workers, and parts.
