> 3 dayThe product is very nice and gives a clean finish for the aesthetic of a PC, too bad that I bought the HC1 and I needed the HC3, haha.

> 3 dayDont get me wrong, I love Noctua ... but along with many of you, im not so keen on the vision in beige that is their stock color scheme. Thank goodness for the Chromax line. Added this and a Fractal AL120 (PWM) RGB fan to replace the stock fan and couldnt be happier

09-06-2025It has an outstanding look, and although I had no issues with the look of my Noctua coolers, I wanted to have a black and white themed PC with a dark light, and this just nailed it as it covered everything and reacts nicely with the light. Keep it up Noctua

> 3 dayEasy to install, fits perfectly, and provides side cover which may also increase air flow through the fin array versus it going through the sides, but not sure if this actually improves cooling performance.

> 3 dayI dont know why I spent $20 for the aesthetics of making my U12S black. It looks 10x nicer now, though. Would recommend if you have the money and the normal aesthetics bother you.

> 3 dayThis is the spice that the cooler needed (other than the all black version) to take the design to the next level. I was overjoyed to find out that this product existed as Noctua has always performed great, but its design left something to desire. This completes that last piece of the puzzle, its a beautiful cover and you dont need RGB to be flashy. Get one if you has this cooler and a tempered glass panel!

Greater than one weekBought both audio and USB cables but decided to send them back in one package and label. However, I only got a refund for one while the other one like I did not sent it back. Cables seem good but wires at the end were not fully sleeved, as I expected the whole cable is sleeved and heat shrink wrapped from end to end.
The NA-HC1 chromax.black.swap heatsink cover is an add-on accessory for Noctua’s award-winning NH-U12S, NH-U12S TR4-SP3, NH-U12S SE-AM4 and NH-U12S DX-3647 CPU coolers.

Thanks to the easy, straightforward installation, changing the looks of your NH-U12S cooler only takes a few minutes and doesn’t even require taking it off the CPU. Combined with the chromax.black.swap edition NF-F12, fan, the NA-HC1 gives you endless possibilities to design your very own, individual NH-U12S that looks just as great as it cools!

High-quality powder-coated aluminiumTired of flimsy, thin plastic faceplates? The chromax line heatsink covers are made from sturdy, 1mm-thick aluminium and feature a scratch-resistant powder-coating finish in order to match the build quality of your Noctua heatsink. |
Match with industrialPPC or chromax fans and padsNoctua’s chromax line heatsink covers are a perfect match for the black industrialPPC and chromax.black.swap fans, both of which can be colour-customised using chromax anti-vibration pads and cables (available in black, white, red, blue, green and yellow). |
Easy installationInstalling Noctua’s chromax line heatsink covers is child’s play: Put the fixture on top of the cooler, secure it with the steel clip, slide on the cover until the magnets snap into place – done! You don’t even have to remove the cooler from the CPU or take off the fan. |
Endless options for customisationDo you want to give your entire heatsink a custom colour to take things one step further? While spray-painting heatsinks is difficult and reduces performance, Noctua’s powder-coated chromax covers can easily be repainted with custom colours and decorations. |
The NA-HC1 chromax.black.swap comes with swappable inlays in black, white, red, blue, green and yellow that allow colour-coordinating the heatsink with most popular build colour schemes. Whether you’re designing your dream machine for the years to come or switch parts on a monthly basis, matching colours has never been so easy!
