I personally don't mind the color of Noctua but, (read below)
Noctua should start selling coolers without fans, for people that want to buy the black variants. Or sort an online shop at their own website, where you can combine products.

Chromax looks actually good to me, if you're willing to spend a bit more.
PS. This cooler's fan doesnt have a chromax variant, so a no go for any non poop color fan fans

Really bad value given that price... performance is too close to 14S, which is almost half the price.
Having 2 fans, I'd be curious to see how it performs against a dual fan configuration of its cousins 12S and 14S (both come with only 1 fan).

The D15 = $89.95 @ Amazon (at the moment).

I'm sure these will do just fine.
