[btarunr]

Noctua is adding a splash of color with the unveiling of Project Chromax, a company initiative to develop products with color elements. The first of its kind is a line were colorful rubber spacers or their fans and now has been expanded to include heatsink covers. These devices strap onto your heatsink fin-stacks, and give the coolers your choice of three colors: red, yellow or white. Initially, Noctua will launch heatsink covers for the NH-D15S and the NH-U12S coolers.

Because they can sell it for more profit now.

I like the idea of slip on covers to change the appearance, it also makes it look neater.

Is RGB stuff really a premium feature though? Good mechanical keyboards, for example, are expensive even without RGB. The same goes for pretty much all RGB stuff I've seen.

From what i have seen at local retailers the RGB stuff is significantly more expensive.
