Thermal Grizzly and Noctua, two brands known for creating premium cooling and thermal solutions for PC hardware, have joined forces for the new WireView Pro II - Noctua Edition. As expected, it combines the WireView Pro II's advanced GPU monitoring and protection features for high-end cards using the new 12V-2x6 power connector standard, plus an integrated Noctua fan.
Specifically, it uses the Noctua NF-A4x10 PWM fan, which requires a larger CNC-machined aluminum housing and a redesigned grille than the original WireView Pro II. The extra space for heat transfer and dissipation also includes a cooling plate and thermal pad to improve thermal performance. The small Noctua NF-A4x10 PWM fan also operates semi-passively, only activating once a certain temperature and load threshold is reached.

Elsewhere, the other big difference here is that the TFT IPS display now features a Noctua-inspired design with various display layouts and rotations. Functionality-wise, it retains the same impressive features as the original WireView Pro II, including real-time pre-pin current monitoring for GPUs that use either the 12VHPWR or 12V-2x6 connector. The real-time monitoring requires no custom configuration, as it shows current power usage, peak-current pin power draw, voltage, and temperatures.
