> 3 dayGreat cover, adds some flare to the NH-U12S. The NH-U12A with the cover fits in well enough in my P400A when using on a Ryzen processor that I dont have to worry about pressure on the glass panel.

> 3 dayNice item to customize and clean up the look of your Noctua cooler. But expensive for what it is.

> 3 dayInstalled on my Chromax Black NH-U12S cooler, but the white really compliments the all black fan. Looks great in my white-themed build. Super easy to install. It does add a few millimeters to the coolers height, though, so double check theres enough clearance to your case side cover.

> 3 dayThis is a great way to cover up the metal parts on your heatsink and make the overall look a little bit better. Since I was going for a black and white theme for my new build, I went with the white chromax cover. I think it looks great and was a great addition. For anyone new to building computers, this does not do anything for the heat. It is purely cosmetic. If you have a tempered glass panel and like staring at it or showing off your rig, I would highly recommend one of these.

> 3 dayI purchased a Noctua NH-U12S chromax.Black cooler and didnt want to go with a complete blackout scheme on the CPU. So purchasing this in white suited my black and white scheme. Its easy to install and its held on by magnets. It is solid when the magnets touch. Make sure the top and the sides do not wobble. If there is wobbling, move it around side to side very lightly. Sooner or later you will feel it shift and lock into place. Even though the white almost matches my white case, Im going to paint it a white color (its nice to know its safe to paint) that matches the case and do some steampunk designs on it. That way it fits my theme.

Greater than one weekI 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.

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!
