Noctua announced the launch of the chromax series NF-A12x25 fan and NH-U12A CPU cooler, as well as matching NA-HC7 and NA-HC8 cooler top covers. Noctua said that these black version products are highly anticipated by users. The new NF-A12x25 PWM chromax.black.swap and NH-U12A chromax.black have the original performance while blackening it.
Roland Mossig, CEO of Noctua, said that he wanted to take these products out earlier, but had to spend extra time to ensure that these products have the heat dissipation performance that matches the original color scheme. Due to the coronavirus epidemic, supply chain issues have delayed the plan. Although different color schemes seem to be a simple matter, in fact, various fine-tunings are quite tricky.
NF-A12x25 PWM chromax.black.swap price is 32.90 Euro/USD. In addition to the iconic heat dissipation performance and attractive black appearance, there is also a set of replaceable red, white, blue, green, gray, yellow, and black anti-vibration pads, so that the fan can be customized to match the color of the personal system. If the user has further needs, various types of accessories can be provided separately, including colored wires and shock-proof brackets.
NH-U12A chromax.black (price is 119.90 Euro/USD) provides heat dissipation performance comparable to 140mm in the 120mm specification. In addition to first-class heat dissipation performance, it is also very quiet and ensures the compatibility of memory and PCIe devices. This black version not only supports the current mainstream Intel LGA 1200 and AMD AM4 platforms but also supports the LGA 1700 platform of Intel’s upcoming 12th-generation Core series processors.
This time, Noctua also launched matching NA-HC7 chromax.black.swap (price is 19.90 Euro/USD) and NA-HC8 chromax.black/chromax.white (price is 19.90 EUR/US) for NH-U12A and NH-U12A chromax.black.

Among them, NA-HC8 has black and white versions, and NA-HC7 also has replaceable embedded colors of black, blue, green, red, yellow, and white, which is convenient for users to match the colors of the host.
