Noctua has a long tradition of releasing both its "normal" colored CPU coolers and, at a later time, its Chromax.Black version, which is essentially the same product with a total black look. We have already reviewed the NH-D15 G2 series, the NF-A14x25 G2 140mm fan, and the wonderful NF-A14x25 G2 PWM Sx2-PP pack, and today we see how the Chomax.The Black series will transform your entire build by adding a special black theme to the overall build.

“The response to our long-awaited G2 series products has been amazing, both from customers and expert reviewers,” says Roland Mossig (Noctua CEO). “We’re proud that the NH-D15 G2 and NF-A14x25 G2 have managed to continue the legacy of their iconic predecessors, and we are confident that the new chromax.black versions will be well received by those who prefer a stealthy, unobtrusive look.”

Succeeding the NF-A14 and NF-A15, the square-frame NF-A14x25 G2 and round-frame NF-A14x25r G2 have quickly established themselves as a new benchmark for premium quality quiet 140x25mm fans. Their advanced aerodynamic engineering featuring a novel Progressive Bend impeller design with a Centrifugal Turbulator hub, winglets, and a record-tight tip clearance of only 0.7mm enables the G2 models to provide a significant boost in performance-to-noise efficiency over their renowned predecessors: Whether it’s in low-impedance, airflow-oriented applications such as case cooling, or high-impedance, pressure-demanding scenarios such as on heatsinks and water cooling radiators, where their etaPERF motor with SupraTorque allows leveraging extra torque headroom, the NF-A14x25 G2 fans are proven winners.

The chromax.black editions combine the NF-A14x25 G2s’ Sterrox liquid-crystal polymer impeller, comprehensive feature set, and breakthrough quiet cooling proficiency with an attractive black design that can be customised with coloured anti-vibration pads, which are available separately.

The NH-D15 G2, utilising an 8-heatpipe heatsink and NF-A14x25r G2 PWM fans, the chromax.black version offers the same combination, while at the same time, its black fans and black-coated heatsink give it a sleek stealth look. Topped off with the Torx-based SecuFirm2+ multi-socket mounting system, Noctua’s NT-H2 thermal compound, and a full 6-year manufacturer’s warranty, the NH-D15 G2 chromax.black is a deluxe choice for everyone who seeks an elite-class heatsink that looks just as great as it cools.
