One of our favorite CPU coolers is about to get a whole lot sleeker

Noctua teases the release of an all-black cooler that looks better than its beige designs.

Wake me up when they do a black NF-A14x25, actually any color 140 mm of this design as long as it's without any LEDs not that I suspect that they will ever include that in their product line, the LEDs I mean.

Noctua brown is an acquired taste like Limburger cheese, wolf canvas paintings, and Gothic games.

I hate to think what kind of RPMs they need to run on to get good cooling.

The A12x25 I have are worse at low rpm then even the P12 Redux. At 1350rpm+ and above they are noticeably noisy while not better then the P12 Reduxs at same RPM cooling.
