Noctua is renowned for its conservative and restrained styling, with a focus instead on effective cooling performance and low-noise. Wading through a swamp of psychedelic RGB multi-color LED-lit fans, cases, coolers, and pretty much everything else; we found Noctua taking a careful step towards "colors," without all the light and sound.

The Chromax Edition variants of its popular fans NF-A15, NF-A14, NF-F12, and NF-S12A come with colorful, user-replaceable accessories for the fan-frame and cables, which let you add just a bit of color, without lighting it up. These are high-quality user-swappable anti-vibration pads for the frame mount-holes (which are typically brown). Chromax Edition Noctua fans include four sets of anti-vibration pads - red, blue, green, and yellow; while the frame itself is kept black to stay neutral to the color. Optionally, you can also purchase color-matching sleeved fan cables.The other Chromax-branded accessory is the heatsink cover, for those who find a bunch of heat pipes stabbing through metal an eyesore. You can cap the aluminium fin-stack of your tower-type Noctua heatsink with this high-quality aluminium made shroud, with cutouts. You can insert color strips that peek through these cutouts for a little style. A plastic block acts like an interface between the topmost fin of your heatsink, and this shroud (by dampening vibration).
