Love it or hate it, Noctua has long been famous for their brown/beige colour scheme. The brand itself is well known for its sometimes offensive colour scheme and in a way colour has helped the brand to become the icon that it is today. 

It is well known that a large number of PC builders actively hate Noctua’s standard colour scheme, so much so that there has been a call for the company to abandon it for at least a decade. This divide is why Noctua has created their Redux and Chromax series’ in recent years, though now the company wants to take things one step further.

At their Computex booth, Noctua has showcased their new Chromax line of CPU coolers, revealing all-black versions of their popular NH-D15, NG-U12S and NH-L9i heatsinks, offering a stealthy aesthetic that runs as a stark contrast to most of today RGB heavy cooler offerings.

Alongside these new cooler designs, Noctua has also showcased five new Chromax series fan designs, which are based on their NF-A20 PWM, NF-A12x15 PWM, NF-A9 PWM, NF-A9x14 PWM and NF-A8 PWM blade designs.

All of these modes ship with an all-black aesthetic, though they do come with swappable red, white, blue, green, yellow anti-vibrations pads for users that don’t want to go all-black. 

Both Noctua’s Chromax series fans and coolers will ship with coloured anti-vibration pads and cables, allowing users to add some subtle colour or keep their fans devoid of it.

With an endless influx of RGB products, it is refreshing to see a brand that is devoid of it, offering users simple colour options while also allowing all-black “stealth” builds to exist in the modern era. It is strange to think that being non-RGB is a way to be unique these days, though that seems to be where we are headed as an industry.
