> 3 dayAs per the usual Noctua standards, the Noctua Heatsink cover was well packaged, well engineered, and had great instructions for installation. I have to say that it simply looks great on the Heatsink, and it gives the heatsink a much more finished kind of look. It is very easy to install. The sides of the shroud that cover the sides of the heatsink fit fine and still fit flush despite the fan clips being underneath. You will have to remove the shroud to remove the fan, and the fan clips. If you feel creative enough, there is enough room at the top of the shroud to install an LED or RGB LED light strip underneath the shroud, and to replace the colored inserts with a hand cut white translucent plastic insert, (think plastic coffee can lid), and run the wire to the Motherboard, and synch it up with a Motherboard RGB LED. Now you have a genuine Noctua RGB LED heatsink cover.

> 3 dayAt first i was skeptic because its just a little shroud but DAMN was I wrong. Noctua should be including these with the u12 and d15 because it completely transforms the look.

> 3 dayMakes my cpu cooler look much nicer and matches my white NZXT 510 case. Easy fit, just be sure the slight extra height will fit your case.

Greater than one weekBought both audio and USB cables but decided to send them back in one package and label. However, I only got a refund for one while the other one like I did not sent it back. Cables seem good but wires at the end were not fully sleeved, as I expected the whole cable is sleeved and heat shrink wrapped from end to end.

High-quality powder-coated aluminiumTired of flimsy, thin plastic faceplates? The chromax line heatsink covers are made from sturdy, 1mm-thick aluminium and feature a scratch-resistant powder-coating finish in order to match the build quality of your Noctua heatsink. |
Match with industrialPPC or chromax fans and padsNoctua’s chromax line heatsink covers are a perfect match for the black industrialPPC and chromax.black.swap fans, both of which can be colour-customised using chromax anti-vibration pads and cables (available in black, white, red, blue, green and yellow). |
Easy installationInstalling Noctua’s chromax line heatsink covers is child’s play: Put the fixture on top of the cooler, secure it with the steel clip, slide on the cover until the magnets snap into place – done! You don’t even have to remove the cooler from the CPU or take off the fan. |
Endless options for customisationDo you want to give your entire heatsink a custom colour to take things one step further? While spray-painting heatsinks is difficult and reduces performance, Noctua’s powder-coated chromax covers can easily be repainted with custom colours and decorations. |
The NA-HC1 chromax.black.swap comes with swappable inlays in black, white, red, blue, green and yellow that allow colour-coordinating the heatsink with most popular build colour schemes. Whether you’re designing your dream machine for the years to come or switch parts on a monthly basis, matching colours has never been so easy!
