Noctua Introduces coloured Chromax fan Accessories

 

Noctua today officially introduced its chromax line of anti-vibration parts that give users the option of colour-customising their fans to match individual build colour schemes. 
Available in red, blue, green, yellow, black and white, the chromax versions of NA-SAV2 anti-vibration mounts and NA-SAVP1 anti-vibration pads are ideal for colour-coordinating Noctua’s black industrialPPC fans with other components and popular build themes such as all black, black & white, black & red or black & blue.

 

“The introduction of our redux and industrialPPC product lines marked a first step towards offering fans that fit in well with the typical colour schemes favoured by today’s overclockers and enthusiasts”, says Roland Mossig (Noctua CEO). “With the new chromax line, we’re taking another step by allowing users to colour-customise their fans with red, blue, green, yellow, black or white anti-vibration parts.”

 

  

 

Whereas the new chromax edition NA-AV2 anti-vibration mounts fit all types of Noctua fans, including redux models, the NA-AVP1 anti-vibration pads fit all NF-F12, NF-S12A and NF-A14 models and are ideal for customising fans of the black industrialPPC line.

 

“When we introduced our industrialPPC series, we mainly had industrial clients in mind, but the fans have become surprisingly popular among overclockers and enthusiasts,” explains Roland Mossig (Noctua CEO). “The new NA-SAVP1 kits now give them the option of matching their iPPC fans to various build themes by simply changing the supplied anti-vibration pads for chromax ones.”

 

Both the NA-SAV2 and NA-SAVP1 parts are made of premium-grade silicone that is extra soft and highly tearproof at the same time, thus combining efficient decoupling with excellent longevity and ease of use. While the NA-SAV2 kits include 20 anti-vibration mounts for 5 fans, the NA-SAVP1 kits include 16 anti-vibration pads for 2 fans.

My Thoughts

For a long time noctua has been known as one of the world’s leading fan makers, but their biggest flaw has always been their unique brown and beige colour scheme. Yes their fans do look great, but it is has always been difficult to match these fans with anything else in custom PCs, forcing many enthusiasts to custom paint their fans or to simply consider other manufacturers. 

Over the past while Noctua has been selling black fans to the enterprise market, and has even created some grey redux fans for the consumer market, making these new coloured fan mounts a highly sought after item, allowing enthusiasts to match their fans with their other PC components and create a PC which both performs well and looks beautiful. 

Hopefully this means that Noctua are considering releasing more neutral fan colours to the consumer market, as this will really bring the Noctua brand back into the minds of PC modders and enthusiasts everywhere.
