Hi,

Just letting you know these are released today for more options with the all black Noctua Chromax aesthetic.

I've ordered the U9S so if anyone wants to know anything about it ask away

Installed and tested, results in the NR200 thread

Nice little cooler, very well made and love the all black aesthetic

Disapointed that the fan doesn't come with optional coloured corners for the price and the screwdriver is pants compared to the scythe and bequiet ones but you do get decent thermal paste and packaging is high quality

Got to admit the scythe mounting method is better I think, the plastic mounts grab onto the backplate making it easier to fit the mounting bars, also you have to put pressure on the spring loaded screws on the Noctua to get them to grip where as the scythe cooler I fitted recently sits on the thread ready to screw down

Saying all that this tiny cooler performs better in my case than the scythe mugen 5 did so no complaints and it looks great too

Saw your pictures and it certainly looks smart. Shame about the coloured corners as I think these really complement the white in my case.

Will keep an eye out for how that 2nd fan effects things if you go down that line. I know if I added a 2nd fan and switched them so they were intaking from the rear, my temps might be better. However, the tempered glass means I would be looking at the back of the fan which just isn't as nice.

If I was buying from scratch, I think I would go for the Noctua assuming the noise is also good. Not worth switching now however.
