Noctua is Back in Black!

[Teenyman45]

Noctua is finally going to be releasing some of their fans in an all black color scheme! Not only that, but the fans will apparently be slightly cheaper because the ugly two-tone brown seems to have made them more expensive.

Techpowerup has the story. http://www.techpowerup.com/185219/noctua-unveils-prototype-cpu-cooler-with-active-noise-cancellation.html

Any estimated release dates?

Noctua can't release black fans, if it did so it would create an imbalance of awesomeness and the entire world would implode in an awesome vacuum.

I kinda like the two-tone brown fans

They're a few years late.

Do not like. Makes them look like cheapass Kingwin fans.

Do not like. Makes them look like cheapass Kingwin fans.

Seconded.. call me nutty but I rather like the current color scheme. Makes them more unique vs. the other fans.

...Sellouts.


Seriously though, choice is cool. I'll keep buying the cream and browns though.

Original link took me to a story about Noctua's "prototype CPU air cooler featuring an active noise-cancellation technology co-developed by RotoSub."

Try this using one...

Impeller remaining their original colour would have looked fine with a black housing, but hey, this works too.

Sweet jeebus! Finally a reason to try out some Noctua products. Personally couldn't stand the brown color scheme and wished for a black or gray redux for some of the previously released products.

not only that, but theyre also releasing an update to the legendary D14

any ideas on release dates??

All black??? Oh no! I was counting on Noctua to refresh their fan series with an exciting diarrhea colour scheme! Now what! Boring!

 

[jojo69]

oooooh, and a 200mm

Honestly, their fans are way too expensive.

Martin recently included them in his latest fan roundup and was unimpressed.

Their coolers are very nice and I really do like the idea of active noise canceling.
