Noctua Presents chromax.black Versions of Its NH-D15 G2 and NF-A14x25 G2
Noctua today presented all-black chromax line versions of its award-winning G2 flagship models: Both the NH-D15 G2 CPU cooler and the NF-A14x25 G2 140 mm fans have successfully set new standards for performance-to-noise efficiency, and the new chromax.black versions provide the same, award-winning quiet cooling performance in a sleek, unobtrusive design.
"The response to our long-awaited G2 series products has been amazing, both from customers and expert reviewers," says Roland Mossig (Noctua CEO). "We're proud that the NH-D15 G2 and NF-A14x25 G2 have managed to continue the legacy of their iconic predecessors, and we are confident that the new chromax.black versions will be well received by those who prefer a stealthy, unobtrusive look."
Succeeding the iconic NF-A14 and NF-A15, the square-frame NF-A14x25 G2 and round-frame NF-A14x25r G2 have quickly established themselves as a new benchmark for premium quality quiet 140 x 25 mm fans. Their advanced aerodynamic engineering featuring a novel Progressive Bend impeller design with a Centrifugal Turbulator hub, winglets, and a record tight tip clearance of only 0.7 mm enables the G2 models to provide a significant boost in performance-to-noise efficiency over their renowned predecessors: Whether it's in low-impedance, airflow-oriented applications such as case cooling, or high-impedance, pressure-demanding scenarios such as on heatsinks and water cooling radiators, where their etaPERF motor with SupraTorque allows leveraging extra torque headroom, the NF-A14x25 G2 fans are proven winners.
The chromax.black editions combine the NF-A14x25 G2s' Sterrox liquid-crystal polymer impeller, comprehensive feature set and breakthrough quiet cooling proficiency with an attractive black design that can be customized with colored anti-vibration pads, which are available separately.
Continuing the legacy of the iconic NH-D15, the NH-D15 G2 has received more than 100 awards and recommendations from international hardware websites and magazines since its introduction in summer 2024. Utilizing the same further refined 8-heatpipe heatsink and state-of-the-art NF-A14x25r G2 PWM fans, the chromax.black version offers the same winning combination of cutting-edge cooling efficiency and superb quietness of operation. At the same time, its black fans and black coated heatsink enable it to merge these assets with a sleek stealth look. Topped off with the Torx based SecuFirm2+ multi-socket mounting system, Noctua's highest performing NT-H2 thermal compound and a full 6-year manufacturer's warranty, the NH-D15 G2 chromax.black is a deluxe choice for everyone who seeks an elite-class heatsink that looks just as great as it cools.
Pricing and availability
All the new products are available as of today via Noctua's official Amazon stores. Other sales partners will receive stock shortly.

30 Comments on Noctua Presents chromax.black Versions of Its NH-D15 G2 and NF-A14x25 G2
I can't say anything about higher end cpu, cause I don't own one.
But it's noctua, they are rock solid for the support :), I've got from them vertical mount for free for G2 :).
I'm not saying that Noctua coolers are cheap. Still, the same people spend $200+ on AIOs from random Chinese manufacturers and complain about Noctua coolers, which, in many cases, provide similar performance and, in nearly all cases, higher quality.
Now you know why they are able to provide free mounting kits for customers that request for it, because the high initial selling price already priced in the "free" mounting kits.
So you do agree that the hotdog color combo is therefore not stealthy and obtrusive!While that is correct don't you find it interesting how their traditional color combo is the one that ended up having ideal mechanical properties? I mean... out of all the other possibilities... :rolleyes:Because full black has no personality, it's just black like everybody else's, it doesn't make the brand recognizable, conversely an unusual/recognizable color combo is basically like a signature, it makes people talk about it (what a surprise), it makes the product feel special, elitist etc.
Simple
But the main point is the price, it absolutely sucks. I would actually say, buy anything but Noctua at this point. Not worth the money.
I was expecting
FINALLY...............BLACK............
but that price though lol
Don't get me wrong, the fans are great, but did we reach top fan R&D? Nothing can be improved anymore?
