The NH-D15 chromax.black is an all-black version of Noctua's award-winning flagship NH-D15. The recipe for success of the premium cooler remains unchanged thanks to the same twin-tower design and the proven NF-A15 PWM fans: The CPU cooler offers excellent smoothness combined with a cooling performance that can compete with complete water cooling systems. The chromax.black version with its black fans and its black coated heat sink combines these advantages with a chic StealthDesign. The all-round high-quality complete package is completed by the renowned multi-socket mounting system SecuFirm2 and Noctua's popular NT-H1 thermal compound. Whether for overclockers or silent enthusiasts: The NH-D15 chromax.black is a real premium solution that looks as good as it cools.
2. Noctua NH-U12A chromax.black
High-end CPU cooler in black, extremely powerful and quiet, with two high-performance PWM fans, compatible with common sockets from Intel and AMD.
3. Noctua NH-D15
Noctua's flagship model NH-D15 is a dual-tower cooler of the elite class, based on the legendary NH-D14, which consistently pursues its quest for ultimate cooling performance with extremely quiet running. With its wider heatpipe layout and two NF-A15 140mm premium fans with PWM support for fully automatic speed control, the NH-D15 can further enhance the award-winning efficiency of the NH-D14.
4. Noctua NH-L12S
Thanks to the slim NF-A12x15 PWM 120mm fan, the NH-L12S achieves even better silent cooling performance than its 92mm predecessor. At the same time, the NH-L12S is highly flexible: If the fan is mounted above the cooling fins, the cooler supports RAM modules with an overall height of up to 45 mm. If the fan is mounted below, the total height is only 70 mm, so that the cooler fits into many HTPC and Small Form Factor housings. The NH-L12S's all-round high-quality complete package is rounded off by the professional SecuFirm2 multi-socket mounting system, Noctua's proven NT-H1 thermal compound - a premium solution for the highest demands in the low-profile area.
5. Noctua NH-D15S chromax.black CPU cooler
Dual tower CPU cooler in black, with a 140 fan (1,500 rpm), for Intel and AMD sockets, incl. thermal paste.
6. Noctua NH-U12A
The 120mm NH-U12A premium cooler is the latest, fifth generation of Noctua's award-winning NH-U12 series. To get even more performance out of the 120mm form factor, it is equipped with two copies of the very quiet flagship fan NF-A12x25 PWM and has a completely newly developed heat sink with 7 heatpipes and more surface area for even better heat dissipation. In this way, the NH-U12A can compete with many 140mm CPU coolers, but at the same time offers the case and PCIe compatibility of the 120mm class. The all-round high-quality complete package is rounded off by the proven SecuFirm2 multi-socket mounting system, Noctua's renowned NT-H1 quality thermal compound and a full 6-year manufacturer's warranty. Its first-class cooling performance, excellent compatibility and excellent running smoothness make the NH-U12A a genuine premium solution for the highest demands.

The tailor-made SecuFirm2 mounting system for AM4 makes installation child's play and the highly optimised NF-A9x14 premium fan with PWM support for automatic speed control offers excellent running smoothness. With the enclosed Low-Noise Adapter (L.N.A.) the speed of the NF-A9x14 fan can be reduced from 2.500 rpm to 1.800 rpm. CPUs with less than 65 Watt TDP can be used to create almost noiseless systems. Noctua's renowned NT-H1 thermal compound rounds off the scope of supply - the NH-L9a combines all the advantages of larger Noctua coolers in an extremely compact, all-round high-quality complete package for slim HTPC systems.
