Noctua's upcoming AIO liquid cooler is ready for production and will meet its Q2 release date

Noctua, a brand known for its quiet and high-performing air coolers, is getting ready to launch its first AIO liquid cooler. As OC3D.net reports, Asetek and Noctua have jointly announced that the new liquid cooler has passed production validation testing and is on track for its Q2 release date just before Computex.

The news confirms that Noctua has finalized development of its upcoming AIO cooler, and its manufacturing lines are ready to begin production of the new unit. Noctua previously confirmed the unit would be released in Q2 this year in a roadmap the company released in late 2025. The currently unnamed Noctua liquid cooler will launch in 240mm, 360mm, and 420mm variants and will take advantage of Asetek's Emma G8 V2 pump that operates at approximately 3,600 RPM. The pump will be covered in a "triple-layer noise-reduction" cover to reduce vibration and noise generated from the pump. The new pump will also sport three pump speed profiles, enabling users to prioritize performance or quiet operation.

The cooler will take advantage of Noctua's existing SecuFirm2+ mounting kits, which already support all of Intel and AMD's modern sockets, including AM4, AM5, LGA 1851, LGA 1700, and LGA 1200. SecuFirm2+ also boasts support for offset mounting on Intel and AMD CPUs, a feature that is already supported with Noctua's latest air coolers. Offset mounting provides Noctua coolers with better thermal conductivity compared to the stock mounting setup Intel and AMD's sockets provide, depending on the CPU's IHS and die layout.

Noctua and Asetek claim they are targeting "long-term reliability and consistent performance" with the cooler and have made "multiple engineering choices" to achieve these goals. One of these choices is the inclusion of a custom analog Asetek PWM controller that is tuned specifically for Noctua's needs. This one change allegedly helps the AIO cooler achieve superior stability and durability compared to outgoing solutions using software-based controllers.

It is expected that Noctua will pair its new AIO cooler with its outgoing 140mm NF-A14x25 G2 or 120mm NF-A12x25 G2 fans (or both). Pricing has not been confirmed, but it is likely that Noctua's AIO will be on the pricier side of the AIO liquid cooling market, as many of the manufacturer's outgoing CPU air coolers are generally more expensive for the performance they offer compared to competing solutions.
