With today's prevalence of RGB LED lighting, more and more blinkenlights and side panel windows, it's obvious that customisation of one's system is an important factor for many modern PC users. Whilst this is all fine and dandy, not everyone wants a PC that can be seen from space when lit up. Alongside this, sleeved cabling has become the norm for any well-built system, and as a way for system owners to have that extra "touch" to personalise their PC.

Enter Noctua's updated Chromax Range - with more options to customise your system. We reviewed the first batch of Chromax products and remarked as to the customisation they could add to your system - however with only fan vibration mounts available at the time, it was only a small touch of customisation.

Sick review, as always.

I will however stand by my eternal belief that vertical heatsink coolers will always be an eyesore.

That's because heatsinks have sharp edges, don't jab them into your eye ! :p

I like tower coolers a lot and they can look menacing like this Scythe Mugen 2:



I have a Scythe Fuma Rev. B waiting for me to do something with it. But they need a specific layout to fit an SFF size.

Nice options (based on Noctua website. Like many people I think RGB is now totally over-done. A little bit can be OK, but I prefer subtle.

Your links are down for me as well.
