Cooling Noctua "Black Out" Chromax Line

[Abbie Doobie]

Slightly shorter, and improved, NH-C14S.... oh my! Maybe I won't need to hunt down an original NH-C14 for my Ncase anymore!!!

 

[TheHig]

Nah, black Noctua is no Noctua to my heart. I'll call those No-ctua

OK. I LOLed at this one. Hilarious!

To this day I open my Cerb X build to show it and some non "computer" person will comment something like "eww those fans..." and I reply "ARE YOU EFFING KIDDING ME?!" When you see the coffee and cream you know those are the the good stuff! Remove yourself from my field of vision peasant!

Okay maybe not quite so dramatic but I'm definitely thinking along those lines..

PS. the blackout coolers and fans look AMAZING though!

I loved my NH-C14 (original). I don't use it at the moment since I moved to a 35W CPU. Been using it with an i5-4570, single fan fitted blowing upward.

In case anyone was wondering, I reached out to Noctua about the prototype NH-L9x65. The rep that responded said, "We're still in the early development stages of this cooler so unfortunately there is no ETA yet. However, it's save (sp: safe) to say that it will definitely not be released in 2018."

Maybe they'll have a blackout version of it...

So much this!!!!

Have to say I kinda agree. While it is a bit ugly, having a system with those distinctivly colored fans is a status symbol. You see it, and immediately know: quality, silence, performance and enthusiast build

@Damascus @GuilleAcoustic

Either of these available for purchase (or, possible trade for a Corsair SF600 SFX PSU)...?!?

Please let me know...!

@confusis

Possibility for SFFN to reach out to Noctua regarding making the next-gen C14 5mm shorter (to allow for more "Big Air" NCASE M1 builds)...?!?

 

[confusis]

@Boil, The next-gen C14 prototype is 110mm high, is that still too much?

 

[DSmithBYU]

I want that onyx L9i.

5mm too much for a 25mm thick fan on it, in a NCASE M1...

 

[confusis]

Well, the M1 is quoted as having 130mm clearance with the side bracket. Removing the side bracket gives you another 5mm or so (I sold my M1 so can't measure right now ) Fan would be up against the side panel though :/

The side bracket is needed for dual 120x25mm intake fans (one feeding the CPU heat sink, one feeding the upper chamber)...

 

[confusis]

Ah, I see. The way I used mine, I never had the side bracket installed!

Subconsciously, you wanted a windowed panel...!

Vocally to W360 too!

Easy solution for that, make a simple fan to fan mount and then attach both to the air cooler in the same orientation as normal

 

[batterybull]

just sent an email to noctua asking about the new C14, hype.

Hey are your fan intake or exhaust on the acclero?

Not my rig pictured, but most who do the Accelero set to exhaust...
