Classic Brown & Tan Noctua Fans are UGLY AF
I'm tired of keeping silent on this and I do like Noctua fans, however, be that as it may, the brown & tan color scheme is off-putting.
- In predominantly black builds one brown/tan fan sticks out like a sore thumb and only way to combat that is all metal side-panels or total Noctua buy-in. These fans aren't cheap...
- If you're at all into the RGB, forget it, brown and tan just looks funny and out of place.
- It gets worse with white builds. The BTs almost melt in, but then you see 'am... Gross.
There is a reason Noctua offers black fans and black isolation bumpers. Some folks want their performance in a plain black wrapper. (And that sounds kinda porny...)
