They do what they have to do though.

If I had the chance to buy them again, I would say no. A little "glamour" doesn't justify the price in my opinion. And they're especially hard to spot if your glass is tinted. Unless you're constantly staring at your suitcase and drooling, I'd skip this add-on. But they do what they're designed to do, so I can't give less than 5 stars just for not seeing the value.

Pros
  • High marks for support and durability from testers
Cons
  • Something is wrong

Pure brilliance from Noctua

When I saw these first ones I was really wondering if they really deserve all the praise but after getting 2 for different coolers, must I'll just say it's just the perfect finishing touch to any Noctua cooler. I wish the most expensive coolers were included in the package. But in general it's just great quality, really strict and neat design and quality materials. Noctua standards.

Pros
  • Don't waste too much time
Cons
  • Could have chosen a newer model

looks good but is plagiarism

It's hard to get over the feeling that they should have been included in the NH-D15. and that at this price they should have RGB. Of course they do what they say so I guess I can't hit that hard and it's a visual improvement over bare heatpipes. Just wanted to say that other coolers include these things in their coolers - Noctua isn't the only game in town anymore.

Pros
  • practical item
Cons
  • was damaged

Great cases and will fit in the NH-U14S if you have space in your case.

I bought this product for my NH-U14S because Noctua doesn't offer cases for this cooler model. These caps will fit this cooler model, but make sure your case fits. My NH-U14S in combination with my NZXT H500i does not fit these covers. The caps fit on top of the radiator and look absolutely great, but they extend the top of the radiator by about an inch and will not fit in your case if you have a maximum radiator case height of 165mm. I'd really like to use them because they look great, but I…

Pros
  • An absolute legend
Cons
  • I vaguely remember

Great addition to the powerful D15

While it doesn't really do anything for the performance, it makes my D15 look like some kind of big electrical switch. it looked cool. As with all Noctuas, the quality is top notch, installation is very easy and the packaging is great. Note * The first device I received was clearly in use. This is not usually a problem for these types of items but the previous buyer did not repackage them carefully and they have all been smashed and bumped on the way to me. Metal on metal = scratches. This…

Pros
  • Durable finish
Cons
  • Poor set

Adds flair to your build as well as a few millimeters

These things look very bold and will instantly make your build smoother and bolder. It attaches very well but adds height to your radiator. Make sure your case can be closed with the extra length. On my NZXT H500i on AMD 3900x these covers touch the glass door of my case so I had to add some rubber feet to keep it from touching the glass. Also, the price is too high just for the aesthetics, but if you really hate the nude look of radiators then go for it.

Pros
  • Durable test results
Cons
  • Minor issues

Expensive but good

I first bought this to match my computer's color scheme. Black and white with a touch of red. As the owner of an NH-D15 I can probably use it on any future builds so I love that this heatsink can now work with just about any new color scheme in the future. I'm skeptical, but perhaps the shrouds help direct airflow from the fans directly through the cooling fins instead of the sides.

Pros
  • Lots of positive vibes
Cons
  • High price

Cons
  • Very expensive

Lacks RGB, high quality and looks very "grown up ".

They improve the looks of what may be the best air cooler on the market. They are overrated for what they do as they lack aesthetics. However, they are well made and easy to assemble. If they integrate the ARGB strips into the plastic parts that attach to the heatsink, they could really succeed here. The price is partly justified by the quality of the materials, the ease of installation and the attention to detail. From small pieces of rubber that prevent the lid from snapping with magnets, to…

Pros
  • Computer Components
Cons
  • Not as thick as other components

Expensive but so cool!

I love these radiator caps. Initially yes, they cost 29.99. Whether they are worth the good is up to you. I'm interested in aesthetics so they are for me. I want my system to look really nice through the glass side panel, but I didn't want water cooling. I still wanted high performance. That's why I chose the Noctua NH-D15S CPU cooler. The most efficient air cooler you can buy. S is the high compatibility version. I wanted it to look good. I bought these Chromax radiator caps, a black 140mm…

Pros
  • Fan and Cooling
Cons
  • weak
