Review on Noctua NA-HC2 chromax.Black: Stylish Heatsink Cover for NH-U12S and More (Black) by Ikki Martini

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Stunning looking NH-U12S CPU cooler

Following usual Noctua standards, the Noctua heatsink cover has been well packaged, well designed and comes with excellent installation instructions. I have to say it looks just amazing on the heatsink and gives the heatsink a much more "finished" look. It is very easy to install. The sides of the cover that cover the "sides" of the heatsink fit snugly and still fit flush despite the fan clips being on the bottom. You must remove the shroud to remove the fan and fan clips. If you're feeling creative enough, there's enough space at the top of the fairing to mount an LED or RGB LED strip under the fairing and replace the colored inserts with a hand-cut white translucent plastic insert (like plastic coffee). . cover), route the cable to the motherboard and sync it with the motherboard RGB LED. You now have a real Noctua RGB LED heatsink cover. So, with this new Noctua heatsink cover and the new Corsair ML 120 Red LED fan mounted on the NH-U12S CPU cooler, you have superior Noctua cooling without the stubbornly boring Noctua. Watch. I can post photo later. Looks killer.

Pros
