Noctua isn’t what I’d call a household name, but among the PC building niche, it’s instantly recognizable. The brand’s high-quality, super-quiet fans and coolers, plus its distinctive brown colors, have won it a lot of fans admirers. So far Noctua has stuck to air cooling, and doesn’t have any liquid-cooled products…but it’s showing off the first ones at Computex.
A prototype all-in-one CPU cooler was demonstrated on the show floor, with a triple-fan setup and a 360mm radiator. The display also said that 240mm and 420mm versions were in development, and that the first products should be showing up in early 2026…though of course that’s just an estimate.
Nothing’s stopping you from slapping regular Noctua fans onto a competitor’s AIO, of course. But according to the promotional text, the Noctua AIO has an Asetek pump with a “3-layer soundproofing and tuned-mass damper effect for significantly quieter pump operation.”
The system also has an optional 80mm add-on fan that can be installed on the pump head, for cooling nearby components like RAM or SSDs with the Coandă effect. That’s some physics and fluid dynamics that I’m not even going to pretend to understand, but I’m game to give it a try. It certainly seems more useful than yet another LCD inside the opaque walls of my Fractal case.
