Noctua cooler for Threadripper.

Why do Noctua persist in using that godawful colour scheme.
Deal breaker for me.
Looks like something you'd use in a toilet.

I don't think the colour scheme is nasty, but would agree they could do a lot better in the style departmenet. Classic black, silver, white or black/red etc would look much better.

Noctua do Black/Brown fans. The Cream/Brown numbers are included with the heatsinks. To be fair, most people don't have windowed cases so those who care about looks will probably be likely to buy replacement fans.

They said 3 gens on AM4 I believe. I think people get confused by cores (Zen) and the product line (Ryzen). Threadripper and Epyc are using Zen cores too, but different socket/s and fabric

Distinct brand image.

Yeh, the colour of cow poop is distinct indeed, I just don't want it anywhere near my PC!
Soldato
Ditto. Would never even consider it based puerly on its looks.
Most people have a "theme" on their PC. i.e that Red and black, blue and white etc.This fan colour fits none of them. ...Unless of course you happen to be going with the "hearing aid and cows placenta" colour theme.

Noctua always remind me of the "Rover James" they built in Top Gear. And they deliberately picked the colour to appeal to old people.

Zen2 is for the AM4 platform. AMD have guaranteed as much. I think the word zen+ and Zen2 are interchangeable.
Soldato
I beg to differ. I would say most people who pay the premium for a Noctua fan DO have windowed cases. Noctua is a high end (and expensive) fan bought by enthusiasts. Most enthusiasts would have windowed cases I suspect.

The colour scheme reminds me of an Austin Maxi my farther once had......
Couldn't give a toss about looks, Noctua tend to offer among the best performance/noise ratio, albeit at a pretty steep price.
Really? For what purpose? I guess showing off at LAN parties and the general cool factor. Personally, my PC is under the desk anyway since I prefer not to take up valuable desk space.

If it's used in a business then water cooling isn't normally used.
