Noctua makes some well-known CPU coolers and fans. It has also recently released its new series of inserts and alternate parts, which can change a PC's look without needing to resort to RGB. They include the new NA-HC5 chromax cooler covers and NA-SAVP1 chromax grey anti-vibration pads for fans.

Customizing a PC build is relatively easy these days. Then again, many of the options involved are based on RGB LEDs, which may not be to everyone's taste, add to a computer's energy needs, or both. For those looking for an alternative to this, Noctua has prepared new accressories for its more popular CPU coolers or fans.

They include that NA-HC5 chromax cooler cover. This is a replacement cover for the NH-U14S , NH-U14S TR4-SP3 or NH-U14S DX-3647 coolers. It has cut-outs through which colored inserts (also included in this package) can be displayed, thus potentially changing a rig's look.

It is joined by the NA-HC6 covers, which come in solid black or white. Besides these, Noctua has also unveiled the NA-SAVP1 chromax grey anti-vibration pads. Like all similar products of this nature, they clip onto a fan's corners to stabilize them (and the build) against excess energy from the component's action. These, however, could contrast well against an existing fan's normal color. These particular pads are compatibile with Noctua's 120 or 140mm fans.
