Noctua NH-U12A Chromax.Black processor heatsink

When an air cooler for a processor costs more than 150 dollars, it plainly encourages you to initiate a search operation, which is so expensive on it. So that it doesn't just look like black paint instead of beige.

Noctua offers three types of coolers: conventional beige-brown goods with no brand additions, redux variations painted gray with little conveniences but a reasonable price/performance ratio, and premium coolers and chromax. The manufacturer charges an extra for black fans, which are, as the name implies, black.

Although Noctua enjoys a privileged position in the world of coolers and fans, design-conscious customers, in particular, have frequently questioned the company's standard beige and brown color choices. Noctua has responded by gradually repainting their portfolio in black, as evidenced by the Noctua NH-U12A chromax black for $145. The original Noctua NH-U12A is still available with the same specifications but for roughly $20 less than the black version.

Surcharges for attractive design are widespread in this market, but they are usually for RGB backlights. Noctua does not want to be left behind in this regard, but, as is typical of her, she does everything her own way.

Noctua NH-HC7 chromax.black radiator cover

The NA-HC7 chromax.black.swap heatsink cover is a replacement for Noctua's award-winning NH-U12A CPU coolers. It's made of high-quality aluminum with a black powder-coated finish and swappable inlays in black, white, red, blue, green, and yellow, allowing customers to color-customize the cooler to match popular build color schemes like all black, black and white, or black and red.

Changing the appearance of your NH-U12A cooler just takes a few minutes and does not need pulling it off the CPU, thanks to the simple installation. When combined with the chromax.black.swap edition NF-A12x25 fan, the NA-HC7 allows you to create your very own, unique NH-U12A that looks as good as it cools!
