I am looking for a Noctua CPU聽cooler for the performance of it (currently on my list is the NH-U12S), but I want to use a chromax fan because i don't like the normal fan color.
My question is that does Noctua sell just their heatsinks without the fans, OR heatsinks with preinstalled chromax fans?

Nope, but you can resell the included fans for nice prices or use them elsewhere I your case

FOLDING MONTH 2021! GOGOGO and save on some heating costs 馃檪

Buy a used one for cheaper solution if you want to stay with noctua and swap to chromax.

My system specs:

nice idea, because the heatsinks don't degrade. And yeah its noctua so also used fans are fine

A used unit will be much cheaper then聽swap the fan on it to a new chromax one.

I almost get a used NH-D15 for $53 vs聽$83 for new unit, in my local computer store, until someone stole my opportunity by buying it while I was considering the risk of buying used heatsink. So if you get the opportunity on聽used ones, grab it fast!
