The NA-HC8 chromax.black heatsink cover is an add-on accessory for Noctua's award-winning NH-U12A CPU coolers. Made from high-quality aluminium with black powder-coating finish, it allows users to give the cooler a sleek stealth look that is right at home in all-black builds and goes nicely with many other popular colour schemes. Thanks to the easy, straightforward installation, changing the looks of your NH-U12A cooler only takes a few minutes and doesn't even require taking it off the CPU. Combined with the chromax.black.swap edition NF-A12x25 fan, the NA-HC8 chromax.black gives you the option to turn your NH-U12A into an all-black powerhouse that looks just as great as it cools.

High-quality powder-coated aluminium

Tired of flimsy, thin plastic faceplates? The chromax line heatsink covers are made from sturdy, 1mm-thick aluminium and feature a scratch-resistant powder-coating finish in order to match the build quality of your Noctua heatsink.

Match with industrialPPC or chromax fans and pads

Noctua's chromax line heatsink covers are a perfect match for the black industrialPPC and chromax.black.swap fans, both of which can be colour-customised using chromax anti-vibration pads and cables (available in black, white, red, blue, green and yellow).

Easy installation

Installing Noctua's chromax line heatsink covers is child's play: Put the fixture on top of the cooler, secure it with the steel clip, slide on the cover until the magnets snap into place - done! You don't even have to remove the cooler from the CPU or take off the fan.

Endless options for customisation

Do you want to give your entire heatsink a custom colour to take things one step further? While spray-painting heatsinks is difficult and reduces performance, Noctua's powder-coated chromax covers can easily be repainted with custom colours and decorations.

Please Note:

The cover increases the height of the heatsink by 3mm (from 158 to 161mm) and the total width by 3mm (from 125mm to 128mm). Please make sure that your case offers sufficient clearance and that the cover doesn't make contact with any other components such as PCIe cards!

The Noctua NA-HC8 chromax.black is a powder-coated aluminium cover for the NH-U12A CPU heatsink, suited to builders who want a sleek black look without changing their cooler.

Recommended For

NH-U12A owners building an all-black or stealth-themed PC who want the cooler’s visible heatsink to match the rest of the build.
Builders with a windowed case who want to change the NH-U12A’s appearance without removing the cooler from the CPU.
NH-U12A owners who like the cooler’s performance but prefer a cleaner, less visibly industrial look inside their PC.
Owners of either the NH-U12A or NH-U12A chromax.black who want a straightforward cosmetic add-on made for that cooler series.

Real-World Use Scenarios

When finishing an all-black PC build, add the NA-HC8 to a compatible NH-U12A to give the cooler a matte-black look that matches black fans and other components.
When an NH-U12A is visible through a case’s side panel, use the cover to make the cooler’s appearance fit a coordinated black-themed build; owners have shared completed builds featuring the NA-HC8.
When refreshing a PC’s appearance without replacing its NH-U12A cooler, add the NA-HC8 as a cosmetic accessory; it changes the heatsink’s look rather than serving as a CPU-cooling upgrade.
When choosing the cover for a new build or an existing cooler, first confirm the heatsink is an NH-U12A or NH-U12A chromax.black, then check case clearance because the cover increases the cooler’s height and width.
