Noctua Chromax CPU Cooler Accessories Review

Admin Cooling 2444

Introduction

Noctua Chromax is probably one of the most awaited products from the premium cooler manufacturer. We’ve said in most of our Noctua reviews, the branding and colour scheme is a marmite issue, love it or hate it, you are basically stuck with it. Last year, Noctua released the Chromax range. A range of products aimed at anyone who loves Noctua, but hates the branding. Or even, maybe for those who love the branding, but want something a little more contemporary.

The Chromax range is designed for Noctua and if you have one of their coolers or fans already, the Chromax range should also fit. Basically, if you have a Noctua product, Chromax could make the visuals a bit better.

It ranges from Chromax editions of the signature NF-A15, NF-A14, NF-F12 and NF-S12A fans over add-on heatsink covers for coolers such as the NH-D15(S) and NH-U12S to coloured cables, anti-vibration pads and anti-vibration mounts.

As a range of accessories, we are excited, some may criticise Noctua for being behind the times in looks, we congratulate them for sticking to their vision. It’s time for a change now, let’s have a look.

As a review, there's no real performance element for the Noctua Chromax range, the fans are the standard fans, just in a different colour. This is all about how it looks, and will this make a difference to the Noctua range and the beige branding that is loved or hated. Noctua is an industry-leading brand in performance and design, and that sounds a little like a tagline, but it's something they live up to.
