Noctua Display Industrial Fans And They Are Black!

Comment: Holy crap! Mind=Blown! This is the 1st time Noctua has actually change their fan color scheme and their BLACK! Not so sure about the colors of the rubber pads but my mind is literally blown right now.
Confirmed: Even though it's running a pretty high RPM. It's still quit and awesome as Linus say.

At Computex Noctua have been showing off something quite different, that is Noctua Industrial fans. Typically we’ve seen Noctua cater for both the enthusiast market and the enterprise market. On the enthusiast side we have a whole selection of fans and CPU coolers like the NF-A15 PWM and NH-D14 and then on the enterprise side we have products like the NH-U12DO A3 and the NH-U9DX i4. Yet these enterprise products from Noctua look very much like the consumer products but with some marginal tweaks. Now Noctua are taking another step forward with their Industrial fans which are purpose built industrial products.
Noctua’s new industrial fans will come in 120mm and 140mm sizes and feature 2000+ RPM designed for heavy duty industrial applications and professional uses. They are constructed from rugged fibre-glass reinforced polyamid and have IP52 class water and dust protection. Noctua are also offering up to IP66 and UL certification on request. Noctua have told us these fans will be available in Q1 of 2014. I myself find this design looks pretty awesome, maybe on the consumer side this is the start of black fans from Noctua? Who knows.

Not worth my effort, tbh i'd rather just get other fans. Think about it for a moment, how many people actually care to dye the fans just for Noctua? If they truly want to boost their sales then doing things half-assed won't help much. Chances are, if people already took the effort to spray the paddings, they'd have modded their noctua fans to black already, so this doesn't really change anything.

Real programmers don't document, if it was hard to write, it should be hard to understand.

These are built for pure performance, so they're loud and even if they weren't I'd prefer noise blockers... Also I hope your mind is not literally blown... that would be bad...

I am buying them the min they come out :D

I think they won't be selling those anytime soon, though. Since those are industrial fans.
