Antec introduced its Flux Pro casing back in 2024. The full-tower casing was designed to deliver great airflow capabilities, and also offered lots of customization & DIY-friendly options. For these reasons, it received several positive reviews. Now, two years have passed, and Noctua is partnering with Antec to give this casing a nice uplift with the brand new Flux Pro Noctua Edition treatment.
Antec Flux Pro Noctua Edition Case Specifications
So in a lot of ways, the Antec Flux Pro Noctua Edition is very similar to the original Flux Pro from Antec, but what has changed is the addition of Noctua's premium components, such as fans, fan hubs, & more. The full list of changes applied to the Noctua Edition includes:
- NA-FH1 fan hub
- 4x NA-EC1 30cm extension cable
- 2x NA-EC3 60cm extension cable
- 2x NF-A14x25 G2 PWM PPA
- 2x NF-A14x25 G2 PWM PPB

Antec Flux Pro Noctua Edition Case Unboxing
The Antec Flux Pro Noctua Edition casing comes in a giant cardboard package. The whole thing weighs 17 Kgs and has a picture of the case on the front along with the Noctua labels.
The backside of the package has a breakdown of the chassis, and some of its unique features, such as a vertically adjustable front cooling bracket, a digital GPU/CPU Dual Temperature display, a removable cooling bracket on the PSU shroud, and a list of functionality/cooling features.
Upon removing the case from the cardboard package, you can see that it is held firmly between thick sheets of foam. The case is also plastic wrapped, so Noctua has taken extra steps to make sure that the casing is secured.
In the middle of the foam packaging, you can find two additional cardboard packages. One of these is the Fan kit, which houses 6 Noctua fans as mentioned in the specifications above, along with a manual, & the mounting parts to install them inside the case.
The second cardboard package houses all of the accessories, which include the User Manual, the screw kit, a certification sheet for the Walnut wooden exterior, a tiny Noctua Fan that is used as a keyring, and a standard mounting plate for the PSU. And that's about it as far as unboxing goes. Next up, we take a look at the exteriors and interiors of the chassis.
Antec Flux Pro Noctua Edition Case Externals
The first look at the Noctua Edition Antec Flux Pro is from the sides, where we can see a large tempered glass panel with a "Caution" logo. The tempered glass is plastic-wrapped, which always feels nice to peel off when you have finished installing everything in the case. The glass covers around 80% of the side, and out of that, 10% is blocked off by black coats at the top and bottom. This is a 4mm tempered glass. The bottom coat features the Noctua logo.
Right below the tempered glass is a large mesh panel that houses the digital display, and follows the Noctua color scheme with brown aesthetics.
The other side of the chassis is mostly matte black and features the same mesh panel, but this time in black aesthetics. This gives us the dual-tone look that this case has to offer. Both sides of the chassis are toolless, which makes accessing the interior easier.
The front is where the main action is. The front panel is all mesh made out of metal with angled accents that look great. These are surrounded by the premium wood (walnut) frame that looks very pleasing, & blends in nicely with a wooden table.
The back of the chassis has lots of exhaust vents, which are part of the F-LUX multi-directional vent design. You can mount a single 120mm or 140mm on the back, and there are a total of 8 PCIe slot bays that are held by screws. The PSU mounting frame can be disassembled by removing two screws & you will notice that there's already a cord plug pre-installed. This is to accommodate a left-slide oriented PSU case, which makes installing the component easier, but you can also use a standard mounting frame that comes pre-bundled in the accessory box.
The top of the chassis features the Noctua brown aesthetic too, and here, we can see another large metal mesh panel, which can be removed with ease.
The bottom of the chassis has rubber feet and a large dust filter that easily rolls out.
Before talking about the internals, the last thing I want to mention is the IO on the chassis, which is all top-mounted. These include a Power button, a Reset button, a headphone/mic combo jack, two USB 3.0 Type-A ports, one USB 10 Gbps Type-C port, and a Temp display control button. I also like how each of the USB ports and the headphone jack has a rubber shield to protect them from dust.
Antec Flux Pro Noctua Edition Case Internals
Now starting off with the internal looks, the tempered glass panel is easy to remove thanks to its toolless design, revealing the internal chamber, which houses the main hardware components of your PC build. On the side, you are greeted with a large motherboard tray that supports EATX-sized motherboards, a large backplate cutout, and lots of interior space to house extra-long GPUs and large coolers.
The Antec Flux Pro Noctua Edition case supports up to 455mm GPU length and 190mm clearance height for CPU coolers. There are four rubberized cable management holes, two on the sides and two at the bottom.
The other side of the chassis is where all the cable management setup is located. Here you can find four drive bays, housing two 2.5" SSDs and two 3.5" HDD/SSDs. There's also the Noctua fan hub, which is ideally positioned, and plenty of cut-outs with pre-installed cable ties and velcro straps can also be seen. This should make cable management a breeze for PC builders.
The top panel can be removed, and so can the top cooling bracket. This makes installing an AIO easier without having to interfere with the motherboard. The top bracket can house up to a 420mm radiator or three 140mm fans.
And in case you are installing a thick 420mm radiator with thicker 140mm fans, the front cooling mount can also be removed and adjusted vertically up to 5 positions. You can also mount a 420mm AIO or three 140mm fans on the front.
The lower PSU chamber is covered by a fan tray, which supports two 120mm or 140mm fans or a 120mm / 140mm radiator. This tray is held in place by two screws that are easy to remove and make for an easy DIY experience.
Inside the PSU chamber, you can find two additional HDD/SDD drive bays (3.5"), which are held in place securely, and can either be adjusted left/right or removed to make room for two additional fans. Even with this bay, the PSU chamber will have access to cooling from the front intake fans.
With so many options to select from, you can either go with a 420mm top + 360mm front or 420mm front + 360mm top radiator setup at the same time. You can also install a 360 mm AIO in the power supply shroud, or a 240mm AIO at the bottom where the HDD bay is located.
Another main component that makes this case a special Noctua Edition offering is the NA-FH1 fan hub, which is preinstalled in the chassis and offers an 8-channel PWM fan control, allowing you to control up to 8 fans simultaneously through a single hub.
Last but not least, the front panel connectors are nicely bundled within the chassis. They are already tied and can easily be routed to the motherboard.
Antec Flux Pro Noctua Edition Case Installed Looks
For installation, we used a standard ATX motherboard with Noctua's NH-D15 Chromax. Black CPU heatsink, a 300mm tall graphics card, and all of the six fans that ship with the Antec Flux Pro Noctua Edition to demonstrate its clearance room.
As you can see, the case provides ample room for both the CPU cooler and the GPU. We can easily put a taller graphics card, such as MSI's RTX 5090 SUPRIM SOC, which measures 359mm tall, as the max GPU clearance room is 455mm. There's also enough room to mount 360mm and 420mm AIOs on the front and top of the chassis.
An ATX motherboard will provide enough space for moving the cables through the rubber pads, while an EATX case might block them a little bit. Overall, the chassis has ample room for airflow. Antec suggests mounting three 140mm fans on the front, one on the rear exhaust, and two 120mm fans on the PSU chamber tray. If you aren't using an AIO, you can go with a triple 120mm or 140mm fan installation on the top tray, too.
Antec Flux Pro Noctua Edition Case Cooling, Noise & Final Thoughts
With an ambient temperature of 25 °C, we saw the idle noise levels of the system just around 30 dB(A), and even when gaming, the system was under 40 dB (A). The temperature for both the MSI GeForce RTX 5080 SUPRIM SOC and AMD Ryzen 9 9950X3D we used in the test environment was also very good.
Temperatures
System Noise
With that said, we finally come to a close of our review with the Antec Flux Pro Noctua Edition offering a pleasent and super-silent experience in an elegant chassis which not only sticks loyal to Noctua's iconic aesthetics, but also adds wooden textures, lots of DIY-friendly option, and ample amount of space for cooling upgrades with full 420mm AIOs, and multiple case fans.
