Noctua is finally launching its AIO coolers this month, and also showcasing next-gen heatsinks, partner collabs, and updates on Thermosiphon at Computex.
Noctua Officially Enters The AIO Cooling Segment This Month With Up To 420mm Designs, Next-Gen Heatsinks Also Showcased
The premier cooling brand, Noctua, will be rolling out its first AIO coolers this month in the form of the NL-LC1 series. The coolers will come in three flavours: 240mm (€219), 320mm (€249), and 420mm (€279). Featuring the company's NF-A14/A12 x25 G2 fans, Noctua is promising top-notch thermal performance, with Asetek's Emma V2 pump, and superb noise levels, backed by a 6-year warranty.
Noctua NL-LC1 AIO Coolers
- State-of-the-art Asetek Emma V2 platform provides industry-leading thermal performance and reliability
- Pump noise absorber utilises 3-layer soundproofing and tuned-mass damper effect for significantly quieter pump operation
- Three pump speed profiles: quiet (default), balanced, and manual (full control range)
- Premium-grade NF-A14x25 G2 and NF-A12x25 G2 fans ensure class-leading performance-to-noise efficiency
- Fan speed offset helps to avoid periodic humming or vibrations due to beat frequencies
- 420, 360, and 240mm form factors with standard 30mm thick radiators
- SecuFirm2+ mounting enables improved thermal performance, easy installation, and future upgradability
- Optional NL-ACF1 80mm auxiliary fan uses Coanda effect and rotational energy conversion to cool near-socket components (VRMs, RAM, M.2 SSDs, etc.)
- 6-year manufacturer’s warranty
- ETA: June 2026
The Noctua AIO coolers will be complemented by an auxiliary cooling fan that can be mounted on their coolers. This will be sold separately as the NL-ACF1.
Noctua NL-ACF1 Axuiliary Cooling Fan
- Provides additional airflow around the CPU socket area to improve cooling for near-socket components such as VRMs, RAM, or M.2 SSDs
- Compatible with all NL-LC1 series all-in-one liquid coolers (NL-LC1-24, NL-LC1-36, NL-LC1-42)
- Easy installation through magnetic snap-on attachment
- Large NF-A8 80mm fan delivers superior airflow rates while running extremely quiet, PWM support for automatic speed control or manual adjustment
- Custom-engineered frame design leverages the Coanda effect to draw more air outwards to reduce component temperatures
- Premium-grade SSO2 fan bearing and MTTF rating of more than 150,000 hours guarantee outstanding longevity
- ETA: June 2026
Besides the AIO coolers, Noctua is also showcasing its next-gen NH-L12 low-profile heatsink, which adopts a 6-heatpipe design and a smaller 70mm height versus 75mm on previous models, while keeping 35mm clearance for RAM modules.
Next-gen low-profile CPU cooler for AMD AM5
- New, completely reconceived NH-L12 series heatsink with 6 heatpipes
- 70mm total height (including fan) for broad compatibility with popular Small Form Factor (SFF) chassis
- Tailored layout fits current AMD AM5-based Mini-ITX motherboards like a glove
- NF-A12x25 G2 fan provides superior performance-to-noise efficiency compared to slim fans that are typically used in this form factor
- 35mm RAM clearance enables compatibility with a wide range of DDR5 modules
- LBC base convexity for optimal contact on AM5 and AM4 without offset mounting
- SecuFirm2+ mounting system
- NT-H2 thermal compound and NA-TPG1 thermal paste guard
- ETA: Q2 2027
There's also the next-gen workstation cooler, which is made for upcoming AMD Threadripper CPUs, possibly based on the Zen 6 core architecture. The heatsink deploys 7 heatpipes in a dual-tower config and features a massive baseplate. The cooler comes with NF-A15/A12 x25(r) G2 fans, & is also compatible with Intel workstation sockets.
Next-gen workstation CPU coolers
- Designed for next-generation AMD Threadripper CPUs
- Completely revised heatsink architecture for enhanced performance and compatibility
- Front-to-back air flow orientation on today’s workstation motherboards with
horizontal socket layout. Dual tower design with 7 heatpipes provides enhanced dissipation capacity - NF-A14x25r G2 and NF-A12x25 G2 fans provide superior performance-to-noise efciency
- Socket support: Intel LGA4710/4677 and AMD sTR5, TR4, SP3, SP6, future platforms in preparation
- ETA: Q2 2027
Another major update from Noctua is their collaboration with Carbice on a new Carbon Nanotube Thermal Pad for AM5 and AM4 CPUs. This thermal pad doesn't degrade over time like standard TIM materials, and in reverse, improves over time (thermal cycles). The pad is easy to peel and stick, and Noctua is also exploring making Intel-specific Thermal Pads featuring the same technology.
NT-CP1 AM5/4 Carbice carbon nanotube thermal pad
- Superior long-term performance compared to thermal pastes and phase-change pads
- No degradation effects such as pump-out, dry-out, delamination or cracking
- No need for maintenance or replacement, tested for more than 100K thermal cycles
- Space-grade reliability: used in satellites, spacecraft and critical infrastructure
- Vertically aligned carbon nanotube forests reinforced with an aluminium backbone, which makes the pads more robust than other carbon or graphite-based solutions
- Nanoscale polymer coating makes the pad’s contact surfaces electrically non-conductive before use and prevents slippage during installation
- Easy “peel and stick” installation and effortless removal
- Tailored for AMD AM5 and AM4 processors
- ETA: September 2026
For PSUs, Noctua is working on its 2nd Gen Seasonic PRIME TX series, which will now feature OptiGuard for safe and reliable current monitoring. The PSUs will come in 1300W and up to 1600W options. These will retain ATX 3.1 and PCIe 5.1 compliance, and will be cooled by NF-A12x25 G2 fans.
