Noctua NH-D15S and NH-U9S CPU coolers go all black
Noctua today expanded its chromax.black line with all-black versions of the award-winning NH-D15S and NH-U9S CPU coolers: Staying true to the successful formula of the original models, the new chromax.black versions with their black fans and black coated heatsinks combine the same signature quiet cooling performance with a sleek stealth look.
The new NH-D15S chromax.black and NH-U9S chromax.black are identical to the regular models except for the colour: Featuring black coated heatsinks, black fans with black anti-vibration-pads, black fan clips and black mounting parts, they are literally black from head to toe. Thanks to thoroughgoing optimisations of the coating material and process, the chromax.black models provide the same, renowned quiet cooling performance as their regular, non-coated counterparts.
The NH-D15S is an asymmetrical single fan version of the award-winning NH-D15. Thanks to its asymmetrical design, the NH-D15S clears the top PCIe slot on most µATX and ATX motherboards. At the same time, the single fan setup and recessed lower fins guarantee 100% RAM compatibility with memory modules of up to 65mm height. Users who have sufficient room can also upgrade the cooler with either a 120mm or round 140mm fan on the front fin stack for further improved performance in dual fan mode.
The NH-U9S is a compact premium cooler in classic 9cm size. Its asymmetrical design with 5 heatpipes provides strong quiet cooling performance and tanks to its 95x95mm footprint, the NH-U9S clears the RAM and PCIe slots on all current mainboards, including µATX and ITX. Combined with its 125mm height, this makes the NH-U9S a highly versatile solution with outstanding case, RAM and PCIe compatibility.
In addition to the new CPU coolers, Noctua also introduced retail sets of its signature brown anti-vibration pads for 200, 140, 120, 92 and 80mm fans for customers who want to accent their chromax line fans and coolers with a slight touch of the classic Noctua colours. Each set contains 16 pads for up to two fans.

Hmm actually I prefer the dark or black style, have a Cooler Master MA620M in the Thermaltake View71 tempered glass case (upgraded the coolers).

they selling them for sameprice as originals? or are selling for "premium for just painting it black? I would been fine with black fan not the fan color ever bothered me,Atlest they have not gona gaudy root of sticking LED on the freaking coolers seriously i cant stand the LED crazy going on, if i can I avoid anything and everything that has LED on it, I can understand led on keyboard as at night it can sorta kinda help you see the keys, but that is it
I have an enclosed case that DONT have side window or window of anykind, cause I dont want light coming out pc other then the power led light, if it had window all those light would annoy the ever living shit out me special at night
Actual I more curious how the coolers stand up to 8c/16t and higher cpu ? are they still the among the best for cpu coolers?

I have an enclosed case with 5 120mm case fans and my cpu cooler is The beast Noctua NH-D15 dual fan, I have it in an older system AMD 8350 which I have o/ced to 4.2 on all cores, I use this machine every day for streaming movies and videos to a 60 inch flat screen tv, and let me tell you this AMD 8350 is a hot processor stock but overclocked underload working for hours on end Noctua NH-D15 keeps it cool, the system used to be custom water cooled then in March 2019 converted to Noctua will never go back.
