Announced by Noctua a new batch of Chromax fans in black in this case are the fans that offer PWM.

Introduced the new black Noctua fans, in their strategy of adapting to the new times. The company has always offered light brown, high-performance, but obviously ugly fans. Despite everything, they are the best fans on the market, without a doubt. The company adapts to the new times with a line of black fans.

The Austrian company is highly regarded in the industry for the quality of its products. Many assemblers go for their fans, which have the best bearings on the market. What does not make them popular with the most demanding users is the color, unattractive. The company is changing the latter and we've even seen completely black heatsinks.

The black.swap editions of the NF-A20 PWM, NF-A12x15 PWM, NF-A9 PWM, NF-A9x14 HS-PWM and NF-A8 PWM combine the quiet cooling performance characteristic of these award-winning models with an attractive all-black design and a pack of red, white, blue, green, yellow, and black anti-vibration pads that allow fan color customization to match individual construction color schemes.

First introduced in 2015, our Chromax line is aimed at customers who value individual, focused building aesthetics as much as class-leading quality and performance.
With the new chromax.black.swap models, we are expanding the scope to include fan sizes other than the normal 120mm and 140mm formats, some of which should be particularly attractive for ITX and Small Form Factor builds.
Roland Mossig, CEO of Noctua

These fans use SSO2 bearings, the best in the industry, offering us 150 hours MTTF and a six-year warranty. Without a doubt, this movement of the company adapting to the new times is very interesting. Hopefully they stay there and do not throw fans with RGB lights.
