Noctua unveiled its first all‑in‑one liquid CPU coolers, the NL‑LC1 series, claiming to merge the brand’s quiet‑cooling pedigree with liquid‑cooling gains. The lineup—240, 360, and 420 mm models—promises first‑class thermals, low noise, and long‑term reliability, all wrapped in a design that stays true to Noctua’s reputation.

Built on Asetek’s premium Emma V2 platform, each NL‑LC1 houses Noctua’s custom NL‑PNA1 pump noise absorber. The three‑layer acoustic shield and tuned‑mass damper cut both air‑borne and structure‑borne vibrations, yielding quieter pump operation. A mode‑switch lets users toggle between quiet, balanced, and manual RPM profiles.

Fans drive the performance: NF‑A12x25 G2 on the 24 mm and NF‑A14x25 G2 on larger units deliver high airflow while a speed‑offset suppresses humming. The Secu Firm2+ mount improves force transfer and future upgradability. All units come pre‑applied with NT‑H2 paste and a six‑year warranty.

Pricing starts at €219.90 for the 24 mm model and climbs to €279.90 for the 420 mm version, positioning the NL‑LC1 as a premium choice for enthusiasts who demand both silence and stellar cooling. With its robust build, proven reliability, and user‑controllable acoustics, the series sets a new benchmark for closed‑loop liquid cooling.
