Planning a pure white interior and then discovering four parts in your shopping list only come in black is the kind of thing worth catching before the order goes in, not after the build is half assembled. An all-white build plan in this AsiaHorse range needs to account for exactly four black-only items, and two of them sit in plain view.

Quick Answer

The ASH-S1 hub, the Pulsar AM5 contact frame, the RAM cover, and the M.2 2280 heatsink are all listed in black only, priced from R199 to R349. Two of those - the hub and the frame - hide easily behind a tray or beneath a cooler, while the RAM cover and the drive heatsink sit directly on the board in full view, which is where a white-build plan actually needs to make a deliberate decision rather than an accidental compromise.

🖤 The four black-only parts

The ASH-S1 fan and lighting hub, the Pulsar contact frame for AM5 boards, the RAM cover heatsink, and the M.2 2280 SSD heatsink are the parts in this range with no white version listed. Everything else - fans, the sleeved cable kits, the lit Hydrus cables, and the Aurora covers - is offered in white, so a white-build plan runs into trouble at exactly these four points rather than across the whole accessory list.

Which two are genuinely easy to hide

The hub mounts magnetically to any steel panel, and it belongs behind the motherboard tray anyway where nothing in a white build is meant to be visible in the first place - its colour is largely irrelevant there. The contact frame sits directly beneath the cooler, so once the cooler is mounted it disappears from view entirely, making its black finish a non-issue in almost every build.

👀 Which two sit in plain sight

The RAM cover runs along the top edge of the memory modules, squarely in view through most windowed panels, and the M.2 heatsink typically sits close to the graphics card or along the board's edge, also visible. Black in either of these two positions is a genuine design decision to make rather than something a build can quietly avoid.

Which parts do come in white

Fans across the range, the sleeved cable kits in Snow White and White & Gold, the lit Hydrus cables, and the Aurora ARGB cover kit are all offered in white finishes, giving a build most of its visible cable and airflow hardware in the right colour even where the two heatsink-style covers stay black.

🎨 Is black in a white build automatically wrong

Not at all - a small number of deliberate black elements can read as intentional contrast rather than a failure to match, particularly when the black item sits on components that already carry their own black PCB or heatsink shroud, tying the accent into the rest of the build rather than standing out as a mismatch. The case fans category covers the airflow side of finishing a white build, alongside the lighting choices in the NZXT case lighting range.

Frequently Asked Questions

Which parts in this range are black only?

The ASH-S1 hub, the Pulsar AM5 contact frame, the RAM cover, and the M.2 2280 heatsink, all listed exclusively in black.

Which of those four are actually visible in the finished build?

The RAM cover and the drive heatsink sit on the board in plain view, while the hub and the contact frame are largely hidden from sight.

Can the hub be hidden away easily?

Very easily, since it mounts magnetically to any steel panel and belongs behind the motherboard tray where nothing is meant to be seen anyway.

Where does the contact frame end up sitting?

Beneath the cooler, meaning it disappears from view entirely once the cooler is mounted over the top of it.

How visible is the memory cover in a finished build?

It runs along the top of the memory modules, squarely visible through most windowed side panels in the case.

Which parts in this range are available in white?

Fans, the sleeved cable kits, the lit Hydrus cables, and the Aurora covers are all offered in white finishes.

Is black always a mismatch in an otherwise white build?

Not necessarily - a few deliberate black elements can read as intentional contrast rather than a failure to match the rest of the theme.
