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.

Soul_I can't comment on how you run your fans, but in past 30 years of building and using computers I have had 1 fan failure
Maybe you haven't seen it because of your sample size and not actually running stuff in high stress environments? Actually hitting cpu (and gpu) 24 hours a day with 100% loads on multiple machines
CalmmoThere are more premium fan options nowadays that include high quality motors
Such as? And why would I change from the stuff that's tested and known good if alts are equally expensive?

WyeAll these guys are doing in the last 20 years is painting their fans in different colors.
Well, they painted them black....then cancelled plans for white. Redux is light and dark grey, so not counting their signature colour....they launched three (3)! colours for 20 years of existance.

I wish they'd go really bold and actually paint them in neon colours! For real, I'd love a neon salmon pink for example. They play it safe and I get that, it's good for business usually, but....it's boring :D

Don't get me wrong, the fans are great, but did we reach top fan R&D? Nothing can be improved anymore?
I guess you havent spent enough time on the Noctua webpage. Plenty to read there if you are interested in improvements:
