Noctua today presented new additions to its chromax line of color cooling fans.

The new chromax.black.swap versions of the NF-A20, NF-A12x15, NF-A9, NF-A9x14 and NF-A8 fans as well as the corresponding NA-SAVP5 and NA-SAVP6 anti-vibration pads now give entusiasts the option to colour-coordinate Noctua 200mm, slim 120mm, 92mm, slim 92mm and 80mm fans with individual build designs and colour schemes such as all black, black and white or black and red.

The new chromax.black.swap editions of the NF-A20 PWM, NF-A12x15 PWM, NF-A9 PWM, NF-A9x14 HS-PWM and NF-A8 PWM combine the quiet cooling performance of these models with an all-black design and a bundle of red, white, blue, green, yellow and black anti-vibration pads.

Whereas the black 20cm NF-A20 is designed for quietly cooling large tower cases, the other new chromax models are more oriented towards compact, space restricted builds: now available in black, the NF-A9 and NF-A8 are choices when it comes to 92x25 and 80x25 case fans. While the NF-A9 is also a match for compact tower-style CPU coolers such as the NH-U9S or NH-D9L, the slim 12cm NF-A12x15 as well as the slim 9cm NF-A9x14 are designed for use on low-profile top-flow coolers such as the Noctua NH-L12S or NH-L9 series. In addition, both have become options for watercooling radiators in situations where space is tight and regular 25mm thick units would not fit.

Like the previously released 120 and 140mm chromax line fans, the new chromax.black.swap versions of NF-A20, NF-A9 and NF-A8 feature swappable silicone anti-vibration pads for colour-customisation. Coming with 4 white, red, blue, green and yellow as well as 8 black pads, the fans can be coordinated with popular build colour schemes out of the box by combining the various colours with black or going all black. Additional sets of NA-AVP6 (for NF-A20) and NA-AVP5 (for NF-A9 and NF-A8) pads for outfitting both sides in one colour can be purchased separately. By contrast, the two slim models, NF-A12x15 and NF-A9x14, feature self-adhesive pads and include 8 of each colour so that both sides of the fan can be outfitted with any colour out of the box. A range of accessories such as coloured cables and anti-vibration mounts are also available separately.

The new fans feature Noctua’s SSO2 bearing, more than 150,000 hours MTTF and 6-year manufacturer’s warranty.
